Care4All Children Services Inc. is doing what it can to stay afloat after suffering massive flooding as a result of pipes in the building rupturing during the state's recent cold spell.
Employees are now trying to salvage what they can while also working on a plan to keep the agency running at a critical time for many in need across the state, a recent report from FOX 5 Atlanta said.
"We've helped thousands of children during our 10 years of foster care services in Georgia," Veronica Guobadia, Care4All's executive director, said in the report. "We are just one of the agencies that we try to do everything we can to try to license homes, license foster homes, and place those children in foster homes."
The therapeutic foster care agency contracts with the state to help place children in licensed foster homes, the report said.
Among the products and items the Lawrenceville nonprofit is now desperately seeking to replace are car seats, clothes, food, children's toys, laptops and other items they planned to distribute to foster families in the not-so-distant future.
With there now being a dire need for foster parents, Guobadia is using the moment to encourage more Georgia families to consider opening their homes to foster children in need of the kind of stability that could provide.
