How You Can Help

TESTIMONIALS

On December 25, 2009, Shawn delivered Christmas gifts to Ms. Kathyren Jackson and her two children. At the time, Ms. Jackson was unemployed and in need of help.

To lift her spirits and to help her provide for her kids, The Shawn Marion Foundation was able to fund her rent and her bus pass fees for the month. These were the exact resources she needed to get back on her feet.

Not too many months later, Ms. Kathyren Jackson was able to secure a position with Child Care Group. The bus passes really helped because she had no money and was unable to get around and find a job. God is good!

Let’s continue to support The Shawn Marion Foundation to positively impact families in need!
