About Shamar's family

Hope for the Holidays

This blended family of five has been wonderful to work with. This family came to Firefly for help with community resources and services for their children. Mom has had struggles with her back and neck, as she has had to have multiple surgeries. It makes it difficult to care for all three kids, especially a four-year-old. Dad is the main source of income in the family, as mom is a full-time stay-at-home mom. Due to these things, Gilberto and Kaitlyn both try to step up where they can to help mom and dad with Colton. This loving family enjoy spending time together and with their pet pigs! They are wonderful individuals that would lend a helping hand wherever it is needed.

About Gilberto

Age: 12 | Gender: Male | Race: Hispanic or Latino

Gilberto, 12, is the kind of kid who will come off as your typical pre-teen boy who "doesn't care" at first. But when you get to know him, he is the most compassionate and caring boy you will meet. He has a soft spot for his little sister and brother, and loves to do any activities with them. When dad is working and Gilberto is able, he always steps up to help mom when she is struggling or needs any sort of assistance. Gilberto is a sweet kid with a heart of gold!

About Colton

Age: 4 | Gender: Male | Race: Bi-Racial/Multi-Racial

While Colton has faced some issues in his short four years, he is a firecracker. He has struggled to control his emotions, but is a very compassionate person. He is a good helper when mom and dad need it. Colton loves to help around the house. He was adamant on showing his case manager the pet pigs in the backyard during her first visit and told her about each one! Colton is a very caring boy and would do anything for his family.
