Mariah shared Thanksgiving with foster kids
Did you know that last Thanksgiving, Mariah visited with 50 young people living
in the Good Shepherd Services group residences and foster care program who were
unable to go home for the holiday? The gym of the East 17th Street location in New
York City was transformed into a banquet hall complete with a DJ, balloons, and
beautiful centerpieces that were donated by Mariah.
Joining her for the feast was her mother, nephew, staff and their children, as well
as her chef who helped to prepare the turkey dinner. The young residents had the
opportunity to chat with Mariah and one young woman even read a poem. Many were able
to have photos taken with her, which she autographed.
Mariah's visit was not only a dream come true for many of these young men and women,
but a wonderful surprise on a day that is often difficult for young people in
out-of-home care. Good Shepherd Services is a non-sectarian, social service and
youth development agency which positively affects the lives of more than 10,000
children and families annually.
Throughout their history, they have shown leadership in developing effective programs
that help New York City's more vulnerable residents gain the support, skills and
opportunities necessary for success in life. United by their shared mission and vision,
these programs are characterized by a profound respect for the strengths inherent in
individuals, families and communities.
Good Shepherd Services provides city-wide residential and foster care services with
concentrations in Manhattan, the Bronx and Brooklyn. For more information, log on
