SBA HOLIDAY OUTREACH!!!
EVERY YEAR SBA CHOOSES A FAMILY TO HELP DURING THE HOLIDAYS!!! I BELIEVE IT’S VERY IMPORTANT TO HELP OTHERS WHEN THEY NEED IT MOST. HELPING OTHERS TEACHES YOUNG MEN IN THE SBA ORGANIZATION WHAT IT MEANS TO GIVE BACK. PLAYERS BECOME AWARE OF THEIR BLESSINGS AND GRATEFUL FOR WHAT THEY DO HAVE. AS THEY GROW AND LEARN THROUGH EXPERIENCES LIKE THESE, THEY WILL SOON BE THANKFUL FOR EVERY OPPORTUNITY GIVEN TO THEM.
GO TO SBA NEWS (SBA CHRISTMAS OUTREACH 2019) TO DONATE TO THIS YEARS CANDIDATE!!!
EARTHA’S HOLIDAY BLESSING 2016
DECEMBER 15, 2016
SBA MET WITH EARHA’S FAMILY FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. WE DELIVERED A CHRISTMAS TREE WITH LIGHTS AND ORNAMENTS TO THE FAMILY FOR THE HOLIDAYS. WE QUICKLY NOTICED THAT THEIR LIVING CONDITION WAS VERY SEVERE. SBA WAS ASSISTING THIS FAMILY WITH PRESENTS FOR CHRISTMAS BUT WE TOOK IT A STEP FURTHER AND DECIDED TO CHANGE THIS FAMILY’S LIFE FOREVER.
BELOW ARE PICTURES OF THE LIVING CONDITIONS BEFORE SBA TURNED THIS FAMILY’S LIFE AROUND

THE ONLY SOURCE OF RUNNING WATER IN THE HOUSE WAS THROUGH THE PIPE SITTING ABOVE THE POT IN THE BATHROOM. THE FAMILY HAD 6 KIDS SLEEPING IN THE SAME BED WHILE EARTHA STILL ASSISTED HER ELDERLY FATHER AND SPECIAL NEEDS SISTER. LATER WE FOUND OUT THAT THE HOUSE WAS INFESTED WITH BED BUGS AS WELL.
SBA FINALLY TALKED EARTHA INTO MOVING OUT OF THE HOUSE FOR A FEW DAYS. WE PUT EARTHA’S FAMILY IN A NICE COMFORTABLE HOTEL WHERE THE FAMILY WAS BROUGHT MEALS DAILY.
EARTHA HAD NO CLUE THAT WE WERE GOING TO DO A FULL REMODEL ON HER ENTIRE HOUSE.

THE TORRES FAMILY 2018
THE TORRES FAMILY WAS INTRODUCED TO ME BY THE MALLORYS, A CURRENT SBA MEMBER. THE MALLORYS LET ME KNOW THAT THE TORRES’ WERE FAMILY FRIENDS WHO WERE HARD WORKING PEOPLE BUT GOING THROUGH TOUGH TIMES AND IN NEED OF A HELPING HAND. THE FATHER WAS A BLUE COLLAR WORKER AND SOLE PROVIDER FOR HIS FAMILY AND RECENTLY LOST HIS JOB. THE TORRES’ HAD 5 CHILDREN (THREE GIRLS 11, 9, AND 6 AND 2 BOYS 4, AND A RECENT NEW BORN SON). THE FAMILY ONLY HAD ONE VEHICLE WHICH WAS IN NEED OF REPAIR. THE FATHER QUICKLY FOUND WORK BUT DID NOT HAVE ACCESS TO GET THERE. SBA STEPPED IN AND MADE THINGS A LITTLE EASIER FOR THE TORRES FAMILY FOR THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY.
DECEMBER 17TH, 2018
BELOW IS A LIST OF THINGS THAT WERE PROVIDED FOR THE TORRES FAMILY
PAID FOR REPAIRS ON THE FAMILY VEHICLE SO THE FATHER COULD MAKE IT BACK IN FORTH FROM WORK
COVERED RENT PAYMENTS FOR 2 MONTHS SO 2019 COULD BE A FRESH START
SUPPLIED THE FAMILY WITH ITEMS FOR THE NEW BORN BABY
THE WISH LIST FOR ALL THE KIDS
GIFT CARDS AND PRESENTS FOR THE PARENTS
