How your support makes a difference

Marvin and Cherish refused to let hardship define their future. Through unwavering dedication and the support of vital services, they overcame obstacles and reunited—turning a life-changing moment into the foundation of something greater. Fueled by his deep love for her and an unbreakable spirit, Marvin is now pursuing his dream of publishing a book series—an achievement that will not only redefine his future but also prove that determination can turn dreams into reality.

Stories like Marvin’s are a testament to the power of resilience, second chances, and the belief that a brighter tomorrow is always within reach.

When you think about making a difference in your community, becoming a monthly donor to FESCO is one of the most effective ways to do so. By giving each month, you’re helping us provide essential support to families who need it most.

This ongoing support is vital because it allows us to plan ahead and ensure that our services are always available when families need them. When you give each month, you’re ensuring that we can be there for these families whenever they need us. Whether they’re facing a tough time or celebrating a success, your ongoing support is a constant source of comfort and encouragement. It’s like being a reliable friend who helps them through the ups and downs of life, always ready to lend a hand.

This simple act of monthly giving can have a powerful impact on the lives of those we serve. By committing to support FESCO families each month, you’re not just making a donation—you’re becoming part of a community that cares deeply about helping others and making a real difference in their lives.

Each donation is a gesture of kindness

“Through my involvement with FESCO, my children and grandchildren are learning that one person can make a positive impact on our neighborhood and society.”


I volunteer and donate to FESCO because I believe in helping others help themselves. While offering immediate assistance to someone in need can provide short-term relief, donating to FESCO creates lasting change—providing the empowerment, encouragement, and resources people need to build a stable, independent future. Every contribution, big or small, helps transform lives and strengthens our community.

My involvement with FESCO is also deeply personal. I want to set an example for my family, and sometimes, they join me in volunteer work. It’s important to me that my grandchildren grow up with empathy and compassion, understanding that not everyone has the same opportunities and privileges they do. Through FESCO, they are learning that generosity—whether through time, effort, or donations—can create a ripple effect of kindness, strengthening our neighborhood and society as a whole.

Thank you Nancy for your commitment to making our communities better!
