Help a Neighbor

Sometimes our neighbors face crises that no one should face alone — a detention, a medical emergency, a sudden loss of income. When that happens, Cherokee County shows up.

NGA CAN's Help a Neighbor fund connects our community with vetted, urgent needs. We confirm each situation personally before listing it here, and every dollar goes directly to the family or individual in need — not to overhead, not to fees.

Donations facilitated through NGA CAN are not tax-deductible. We are a volunteer-led civic organization, not a 501(c)(3). All funds are disbursed directly to recipients.

Cumming, GA Family Facing Eviction After ICE Detention

A father and sole breadwinner in our community was detained by ICE, leaving his wife and three children — including a 4-year-old — without income. Their rent is due April 5. His children are working and missing school to help keep the family afloat.

Goal: $6,800

$1,800 for rent due April 5
$5,000 for legal representation

NGA CAN and Latino Outreach are proud to collaborate in support of this family. Together we are making sure our neighbors don't face these impossible situations alone.
