ONE BIG FAMILY

Big Family of Michigan is an organization helping to make life better for children waiting to be adopted, or in at-risk situations. We work with adoption organizations, foster parents, social workers and the children to try to help make sure all are working in harmony and the children are receiving the love, care, and items they need and require to become successful adults.

Jeanne Fowler is a child abuse survivor. Her brother, Peter, was not. At the age of three, he was beaten to death by their mother. Jeanne became a foster child at the young age of five. In 2000, it was in Peter's memory that Big Family of Michigan was created and it continues to provide the motivation to provide foster and abused children something to hope for - something to live for.

We provide necessities of living as foster children age out of the program, birthday parties for those that would never have them, a friend to talk to, a shoulder to cry on. Most importantly, we give them the love that they deserve.

As a non-profit organization, we rely on the generosity of individuals and organizations. Anything that you can do to help would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps for a lifetime.
