Good Journey Development Foundation

Hey Fam! We have another Mama and children who need our help. She needs $1800 by October 1st to avoid eviction. Give what you can as soon as you can, please. Good Journey will send ALL donations to Mama.

With our immediate help, and Mama’s plan she is enacting for the future, her family will remain housed 💜

Donate using the links below and put Mama’s Home in the note section. THANK YOU!
