Who we are
We are a family of 13 siblings born and raised by two very patient and caring parents in West Roxbury, MA. We didn't have everything we wanted as kids, but to steal a line from the Zac Brown Band, we had everything we needed, and nothing that we didn't. We were taught to look out for each other and extend that to our friends and neighbors. With the love and support of our parents and each other, we are now in a position where we, with your support, can look out for and assist those in our community who are facing tough times and need assistance.
