How We Help

After the heartbreaking loss of her son to suicide, a local grandmother suddenly found herself raising her two young grandchildren while also battling cancer. Faced with overwhelming emotional, physical, and financial challenges, she turned to Shively Area Ministries for support. Through assistance with basic needs, the Relatives Raising Kids program and compassionate encouragement, SAM helped provide stability during one of the most difficult seasons of her life. Stories like hers demonstrate why Shively Area Ministries is such a vital resource in our community-offering hope and practical help to families facing crisis when they have nowhere else to turn.
