Every Gift Writes a New Story

Meet Cotisha. A single mother of three in Horry County, she worked hard every day but still felt the weight of being ALICE: Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. Like 41% of households across our county, she was doing everything right and still coming up short. But Cotisha never gave up, and she never faced it alone.

Watch her story, and hear from her son Carmelo about how his mother's strength and sacrifice shaped the man he's becoming as he heads to college.

This is the story behind our 2026 Annual Campaign. Across Healthy Community, Youth Opportunity, Financial Security, and Community Resiliency, we're working alongside neighbors, partners, and local organizations to help every household in Horry County reach its full potential. When we invest together, families like Cotisha's don't just get by. They get ahead.

Your gift fuels this work all year long, funding programs, supporting partners, and building the kind of community where every child, every family, and every neighbor has a real shot at thriving.

Give today, and help write the next success story in Horry County.
