The One By One Project

Today, we are reflecting on the power of community and our partnership visit at Nurtury Early Education’s Jamaica Plain Early Childhood Education Center. The One By One Project is here for Nurtury families when life throws the unexpected their way—because we know that one bill, one emergency, or one missing necessity can change everything. From car seats to rent assistance, from household essentials to helping keep the lights on,?this is what real support looks like. A heartfelt THANK YOU to Stephanie Ellington, Senior Director of Development and Administration, and Taylor Connolly, Family Support Manager, for their dedication to strengthening our partnership year after year. In collaboration with Taylor and her colleagues, The One By One Project has paid over 60 bills for Nurtury families—that’s 60 moments when a family could breathe easier, knowing they had support. We know the year ahead will bring new challenges, and we couldn't be prouder to work with the Nurtury team to support local Boston families. #TheOneByOneProject?#GreaterBostonNonprofit?

This week we met with Boston Community Pediatrics for our annual partnership review. We love this team. The Care Navigation team and staff at BCP are nothing short of AMAZING—lifting up families, keeping our community?healthy, and ensuring no urgent need goes unmet. We are honored to stand beside BCP where together we fill?critical gaps for patients and families,?including?providing household essentials, preventing evictions, keeping the lights?and heat?on, and fighting food insecurity. The road ahead will bring new challenges. We are ready and we are in this together. #theonebyoneproject #greaterbostonnonprofit

Wrapping up our annual partnership review?with Kevan Anthony Barton, LICSW, Executive Director at Youth Connect, a program of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Boston. The YouthConnect clinical social worker team provides violence prevention, intervention, advocacy, and mental health services to young people in partnership with the Boston Police Department by placing?licensed clinical social workers in Boston police stations. The One By One Project partners with YouthConnect to pay urgent bills for the young people they serve when unexpected expenses arise.?We help families keep on track by paying the bill for essentials such as refrigerators?for families in need,?maternity?clothes for a young mom, help with?urgent transportation?needs, and clothes for a young man starting a new job while living in a shelter.?We have learned so much from the YouthConnect team over the past three years and look forward to working together in partnership to tackle the challenges of the year ahead.?#inpartnership #theonebyoneproject #greaterbostonnonprofit

This week, we had our 4th annual One By One Project and Horizons Family Coaching Specialists team lunch and partnership review. This rock star team is comprised of compassionate advocates?for the Horizons families they support. The FCS team reaches out to us for help when an unplanned expense arises for a Horizons family. Our funds help families stay on track so that an unexpected bill does not become a crisis. From getting a broken down car back on the road to keeping the?lights and heat on, in 2024, The One By One Project filled over 40 requests for help for Horizons families in?partnership with this amazing team.?We love our time with this group- big laughs, big goals, and a big year ahead in partnership.?#theonebyoneproject #greaterbostonnonprofit #horizonsforhomelesschildren
