MIAMI
Safe Families of Miami
Since September 2020 as part of the statewide effort, the Miami Chapter has started to mobilize churches in Miami-Dade County to join the movement to keep children safe, families together, and communities transformed. The Church volunteers are ordinary people with a compassionate heart who give of their time, skills, and resources to the parents and children they walk alongside. They become the extended family support for a family in crisis and help them find stability and thrive.

Jacqueline is originally from Venezuela and has been a resident of Miami-Dade County for the past 24 years. She earned a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice from Florida International University (FIU) and is the mother of three sons. In 2018, after a tragic event that profoundly affected her family, Jacqueline developed a strong passion for helping others during times of uncertainty and need. This motivation led her to establish Mau’s Angels Foundation. Jacqueline became involved with Safe Families as a resource friend few years ago through her nonprofit, which inspired her to learn more about the organization's mission. Recently, she embraced the opportunity to take on a leadership role as the Chapter Director for Miami, seeing it as a blessing and a life-changing experience that allows her to serve towards family preservation. In her personal life, Jacqueline enjoys spending time with her family and beloved pets, along with pursuing her hobbies of traveling and cooking

HOW TO
HELP
Our motto is Everybody can do something!
No act of kindness is too small. For instance, you can transport a parent or child to the doctor’s appointment, or go out with a parent for a coffee and good conversation, or meet parents and children at the park to befriend them, or mobilize your peers to provide clothing/ food for a family, babysit a child for a single mom to rest or work, or perhaps take them to your church event or Sunday service, pay a mom’s hair cut who has a job interview, and the list goes on.
There are creative ways you and I together can do something to our neighbor that will make a difference in their lives and bring us so much joy, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35). Whether you are a volunteer and/or a supporter, you are impacting one family at a time and changing our community.
