Every Child Deserves the Opportunity to Succeed

The In Time of Need Children's Fund was created with one simple mission: to ensure that no child is left behind because of financial hardship.

Every day, children throughout Metro Atlanta face challenges that most of us take for granted. Some begin the school year without new clothes, backpacks, or school supplies. Others struggle to complete homework because they don't have access to a computer or reliable technology. Many families are forced to make heartbreaking decisions between paying rent, buying groceries, or purchasing the basic necessities their children need to succeed.

At In Time of Need, Inc., we believe every child deserves more than an education. They deserve confidence, dignity, hope, and the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Housing Crisis Response

Help a Single Mother Escape Life in Her Car

No family should have to raise their children in a car. Right now, a single mother in our community is doing exactly that, after losing her home to eviction and having nowhere else to turn.

When the bills became impossible to keep up with, she lost her housing. Now she and her children are living out of their car, uncertain each night where they will be safe, and unsure how much longer that car itself will be theirs.

A car is not a home, but for this family, it's all they have left.

Every night without stable housing puts a family's safety, health, and stability at risk. Children need a place to sleep, do homework, and simply be children, not worry about where the car will be parked or whether it will still be there in the morning.

By joining In Time of Need, you can help this mother and her children move from a car back into a home, and help keep the wheels underneath them in the meantime.

Your generosity helps provide:

  • 🏠 Emergency Housing Assistance: Help with deposits, first month's rent, or short-term shelter so this family can move out of their car and into stable housing.
  • 🚗 Vehicle Support: Assistance to prevent repossession of the family's only reliable transportation to work, school, and appointments.
  • 🏦 Basic Needs: Food, hygiene items, and essentials for a mother and her children living without a home.
  • ❤️ Case Management & Family Support: Guided assistance connecting this family to longer-term housing resources and stability.

Together, we can help this family move from a car back into a home.

Every donation makes a meaningful difference. Whether you give once or become a monthly supporter, your generosity helps ensure that this mother and her children have the safety, stability, and dignity they deserve.

  • It is new clothes that restore dignity.
  • It is mentoring that changes a life.
  • It is a community coming together to ensure that every child has the opportunity to succeed.

Every dollar stays focused on helping children and families overcome barriers and build brighter futures.
