Please Help this BCHS Senior On His Way to a Successful Future
A Baldwin County High School senior really needs our help. He has an incredible opportunity: someone has generously offered to sell him a reliable car for $2,000. This student has faced unimaginable hardship—losing his mother last year and now navigating life without any parental support. Despite everything, he's stayed focused, worked hard, and has been accepted into college and will be leaving in August. Donations in any amount up to $2000 are needed to make this purchase possible. This vehicle will mean everything—it will allow him to get to work, attend college, and continue building a future he's fought so hard for. Thank you for any help you can give.

Lori Terral - Area Director
I have been a resident in Fairhope since 2004. It is truly a pleasure to call Fairhope my home, I wanted to see this community thrive and do what we can to make it the best it can be. Neighborhood Bridges is a wonderful outreach of kindness to the children in our community, that is all done anonymously. I was asked to be an area director along with two other ladies. It has been so exciting to see how giving our community is, so many needs have been filled already. I am a graduate of LSU, and have been a stay at home mom. I am married to Gregg Terral and I have 4 grown children. I also have one beautiful granddaughter!
