From Crisis to Stability: Wraparound Support Helped a Family Stay Afloat

Pichai, a dedicated young mother from Thailand, is raising three children amid tough financial challenges. When her husband's work hours were drastically reduced, their household income plummeted, making it hard to cover essentials like rent and utilities.
Compounding the strain, Pichai's eldest son lives with Angelman syndrome, which impacts his speech and development. To provide the full-time care he needs, Pichai stepped away from work, leaving the family on a single income.

The compassionate, wraparound support from APAFSS — made possible in part by our valued partner CPMC Sutter Health — Pichai's family is finding stability and hope:

- Our family advocate coordinates bill payment assistance to ease immediate financial pressures.

- We supply essential resources and supplies tailored to families navigating Angelman syndrome.

- We connect them to medical specialists, help schedule appointments, and provide ongoing emotional support and case management.

- Counseling services help reduce family stress and build resilience.

"Pichai" means "victorious" in Thai. With this holistic support, we're confident Pichai and her family will stay safely housed, healthy, and on the path to thriving together.

Grateful for partners like who help make these stories of strength possible. 💙

A huge shoutout to our partners at CPMC Sutter Health! 💙

From Chinatown to Visitacion Valley and the Excelsior, CPMC has been by our side supporting underserved families. Whether it’s through cultural outreach in 9 different languages or supporting our new Medi-Cal Pathway program, they are helping us build a sustainable future for bilingual behavioral health care.

We have the vision and the technical support from SF DPH, but it’s foundations like CPMC that provide the fuel to keep our services running. Together, we’re making sure no family is left behind.

🌸 A beautiful Baby Shower full of warmth and support at APA Family Support Services! 🌸

We had an amazing turnout of pregnant mothers and new moms with little ones who came together for connection, care, and celebration at our Excelsior Family Resource Center.

A huge thank you to our wonderful public health nurse who shared valuable tips on maternal and newborn health, answered every question with kindness and expertise, and helped ease so many worries. The moms opened up about their experiences—laughing, supporting one another, and leaving feeling stronger and less alone.

None of this would have been possible without the generous sponsorship from Anthem Blue Cross — their partnership made this nurturing space a reality for our families.💙

Community in Action: Assembling Care Kits for Moms 👶🎒🤝

Today APA Family Support Services joined a fantastic corporate volunteer event to assemble care kits for moms. Each kit includes diapers 🍼, hygiene items 🧴🧼, wet wipes 🧻, and a practical backpack 🎒—small essentials that make a big difference. The employees’ enthusiasm was contagious 🙌; they were thrilled to learn how these supplies help parents who are struggling to afford diapers and other basics for their babies.

We’re especially grateful 💙 for our long-standing partnership—over a decade—with Help a Mother Out 🤝, which powers our diaper distribution and ensures families get what they need, when they need it.

A recent example: a 20-year-old single mom caring for her 8‑month‑old daughter has been moving between temporary places while waiting for stable housing 🏠. With postpartum depression and tight finances, even diapers felt out of reach. Through our counseling, basic-needs support, and free diapers 🎁, she found immediate relief from financial pressure and could focus on bonding with her baby 👩‍👧. These kits—and partners like Help a Mother Out—help turn worry into hope 🌟.
