Purposity Day is Here! ✨

Content Warning:  This story may be traumatizing to some audiences.

Sometimes you hear a story so heart-wrenching that it makes you want to immediately jump into action and do whatever you can to help. That is how the Purposity team felt when they heard about the McCoy family.

When the McCoy family recently visited a family member’s home, four-year-old Luke wandered into a bedroom looking for the family cat. He came across a loaded firearm that accidentally discharged, striking him on the side of his head. Luke was immediately life-flighted to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta where he promptly entered surgery. He is now in stable condition and out of the pediatric ICU. 

Physically, Luke is doing well and has started rehab. But, you can imagine what a traumatic situation and major life adjustment this has been for his entire family. They have a long road ahead.

While this season won’t look anything like what they dreamed, let’s shower the McCoy family with love and support and send Luke, his sister, mom, and dad some holiday gifts. You can find their list of needs under "Organizations" --> "The McCoy Family."

These twin first graders in Atlanta Public Schools and their single mother have been hopping from hotel to hotel, transporting their belongings in trash bags.

Harmonizing For A Cause

When hard times hit, one family moved to Nashville to be closer to relatives. They've finally found housing, but need some basic home essentials. Will you visit the Metro Nashville Public Schools organization and lend a helping hand to this "Newly Housed Family" as they navigate this new season of life?

A new season of life 🍂

Lahaina is still recovering from the devastating fire, but your generous donations have provided so much hope for this community. Here is a message from our partners in Maui:

"Mahalo Nui Loa for your generosity. Donated items are being hand delivered by community liaisons to hotels, parks, and homes. The support for children and families displaced by the fires provides for basic needs and goes a long way in showing love and concern for Lahaina from around the world."

Winner of the the TOUR Championship Tickets

Thanks to the Purposity community, hundreds of needs have now been met for Maui residents impacted by the wildfires.

Warning: You are going to want to help them all. 🫶

Helping Hawaii Wildfire Victims: Phase 2 🆘

Calling all golf ⛳ fans: Do you have plans next Friday? Help meet a back-to-school need "fore" one of our students between now and Thursday, 8/17, and be entered to win a pair of tickets to the TOUR Championship at East Lake Golf Club on Friday, 8/25. The winner will be announced on Friday, 8/18.

Meet a Need "Fore" a Chance to Win

We are heartbroken for the residents of Maui who have experienced so much devastation caused by the wildfires. We have a long-standing relationship with Hawaii Public Schools and many of their schools are currently being used as shelters. We are working closely with them and posting real-time needs as we receive them.

Here is an update from one homeless liaison:
"All these items are for families that have been directly affected by the fire here on Maui. I have posted the main items that are needed. I will continue to add items on Purposity when I can. I've been out in the field helping at the shelters. We've been going out to our affected areas to provide food and water. Please get the word out Maui is in need of so much right now, but our community is strong and we will rebuild again."

Meet a need and help this amazing community start to rebuild today by:
1. click “organizations” tab at bottom
2. Scroll or search for Hawaii Public Schools
3. Hit “follow” button
4. Meet a need or “give now” and give any amount of money and we’ll meet the needs as soon as they’re submitted. 

🆘 Maui Families Need Your Help

Purposity believes a quality education is dependent on a child's entire well-being, and needs often go beyond school supplies. So whether it’s sheets for a good night’s sleep or a notebook, meet a back to school need today.

Give a Child a Smart Start 📓

It's (already) that time of year 🚌! Back to school for us is like a summer wave. Schools start back as early as late July all the way through early September. Each one is important because many of these students haven’t had access to an outside support system for months. Let’s provide wave after wave of support as new school needs are added weekly.

Gear Up for School 👟

More than 20,000 kids age out of the foster system each year with no family, guidance, money, or shelter. These kids are less likely to graduate high school and more likely to experience hardships like homelessness. We want to help change that. Join our Foster Hope team and meet a need for a child in foster care today.
