And there’s no better place to give than an organization where ? percent stays local and helps local families! HELPING HANDS.

PFLAG Johns Creek announces a new initiative to provide a small amount of financial assistance to LGBTQ+ individuals, including parents of LGBTQ+ children/youth, to help them through a difficult financial time.
We will be providing a small gift of money to be used toward basic living expenses (food, rent/mortgage, clothing, medical care) or toward any mental or physical healthcare needs related to being LGBTQ+ (therapy, transition expenses, etc). We will be using money donated to PFLAG Johns Creek for this purpose as well as a small amount of funding from our group.

We Need You!
We are asking for vounteers to serve on a committe which will be tasked with managing this fund and delivering the small gifts to those in need. Because of the potential for conflict of interest, the PFLAG Johns Creek Board wishes for a group of 3 non-Board members to form this committee so that recipients can remain anonymous to Board members and the group as a whole. This would entail quarterly meetings, reviewing applications, and discerning who qualifies for gifts.

If you are interested in serving on this committee, please email us at PFLAGJohnsCreek@gmail.com.

If you would like to make a donation to the Helping Hands assistance program, you can do so at https://ift.tt/35oRLoB. (Please be sure to type “Helping Hands” in the ‘add a note’ section of PayPal when making a donation!) As always, we thank you for your support of our all-volunteer organization!

I want to share with you some joyful news. On Monday, I became a father. This is Wyatt Cooper. He is three days old. He is named after my father, who died when I was ten. I hope I can be as good a dad as he was. My son’s middle name is Morgan. It’s a family name on my mom’s side. I know my mom and dad liked the name morgan because I recently found a list they made 52 years ago when they were trying to think of names for me. Wyatt Morgan Cooper. My son. He was 7.2 lbs at birth, and he is sweet, and soft, and healthy and I am beyond happy.

As a gay kid, I never thought it would be possible to have a child, and I’m grateful for all those who have paved the way, and for the doctors and nurses and everyone involved in my son’s birth.
Most of all, I am grateful to a remarkable surrogate who carried Wyatt, and watched over him lovingly, and tenderly, and gave birth to him. It is an extraordinary blessing – what she, and all surrogates give to families who cant have children. My surrogate has a beautiful family of her own, a wonderfully supportive husband, and kids, and I am incredibly thankful for all the support they have given Wyatt and me. My family is blessed to have this family in our lives

I do wish my mom and dad and my brother, Carter, were alive to meet Wyatt, but I like to believe they can see him. I imagine them all together, arms around each other, smiling and laughing, happy to know that their love is alive in me and in Wyatt, and that our family continues.
