Santa Claus is Coming to Town!

Casa Montessori

Just before the holidays is a great time to experience some holiday goodwill from our community.  Every day is Christmas for Reconnecting Families, Inc (because the community, Courts and local businesses never fail to offer support to our amazing participants) but it never hurts to get a little extra just before the holidays.

Caroline Sierra of the Casa Montessori school (learn more about their amazing school here) heard about our program and stepped into action.  Caroline knows Judge Stedman and understands the value of what the Drug Courts do every day. She organized a children's book, clothing and household item drive and what a success!  Santa's satchel (i.e. our clothes closet) is literally bulging with warm clothes, books and toys for all the little hands and hearts of the children affected by their family members addiction.  We are so thankful to be able to provide our participants with a closet they can count on to help support themselves and their children as they struggle to get themselves clean.  Don't we all need one less thing to worry about?

A BIG thanks to Caroline Sierra and the Casa Montessori school!

The Georgia Ballet

Just when we thought the holidays couldn't get any jollier, another organization made a little girl's dream come true.   A drug court participant named Vicki has been a true inspiration as she embraces her sobriety and is actively using the system to help herself.  Vicki's 5 year old daughter Katie has a dream to become a ballerina.  Judge Stedman and the Reconnecting Families, Inc team approached the Georgia Ballet (read more about The Georgia Ballet here) with a difficult request.  Will you make Katie's dream come true?  Within days the amazing folks at The Georgia Ballet worked a Christmas miracle and found the funds to offer Katie a ballet scholarship complete with ballet clothes and a recital costume!

Won't we all enjoy our holidays more knowing that Katie's dancing the Nutcracker in her dreams Christmas Night?

Another BIG thanks to The Georgia Ballet!
