Foreverfamily, Inc. (formerly Aid to Children of Imprisoned Mothers, Inc.
or AIM)
works to ensure that, no matter what the circumstances, all children have the
opportunity to be surrounded by the love of family. The organization focuses
efforts on some of the most marginalized children in our society—those with an
incarcerated parent or parents—and support them as they, their parents,
caregivers and extended families work to remain a family.
 Foreverfamily began in 1987 when Executive
Director/CEO, Sandra Barnhill, (Past moderator of the Christian Church in
Georgia) left her job as a public interest lawyer after becoming frustrated by
the lack of support given to mothers sentenced to prison, not to mention the
children and families left behind. The organization she founded to address
this need was originally known as Aid to Imprisoned Mothers, or AIM. The initial
programmatic focus was providing information directly to imprisoned mothers, and
the organization published two handbooks on parenting and the criminal justice
system for them. But the more Foreverfamily worked with mothers, the more
they heard “If you want to help me, help my children.” Taking on that
challenge, Foreverfamily began by expanding their programs to include meeting
the unique needs of their children.
Since Foreverfamily's inception as AIM in
1987, the Christian Women’s Fellowship (CWF) in Georgia has been supportive. If you have
