About Our Children's Story, Inc.
The Birth of Our Children's Story, Inc.
Before we had a name, our Children's Story, Inc. was a small support group that took place once per month on a Sunday in a Library in Dekalb County, Georgia. After hosting these meetups for a while, I began to research what it would take to start a business helping the community I became apart of in 2005.
After researching, I decided that a 501c3 would be the best option to execute my mission to serve my son, peers and the families that care for them. In 2016 I was granted the nonprofit status for Our Children's Story, Inc., in honor of my oldest son Anthony David Hicks Jr. "Moo."
Our Children's Story, Inc., brings awareness to Cerebral Palsy and Epilepsy, which are the 2 primary diagnoses my son, Anthony Jr., has. Throughout this journey of building an entity that is in honor of such a beautiful little boy, we've been able to serve over 1500 families through our programs and services. We've provided everything from:
- Co-Payments for Doctor Appointments
- Prescription Coverage
- Medical Supplies
- Health and Wellness Services
- Funeral Funds
- Special Mommy Makeovers & Self Care Boxes
- Advocacy Services
With the assistance of Zoom and Facebook, we can offer virtual services and programs for families across the world. We are no longer limited to the state of Georgia!
