The holidays have a way of revealing what truly matters. In December 2025, the Greater Atlanta NE and Greater Atlanta NW districts brought that truth to life through a deeply personal act of service, Merry and Bright for Malachi.

A Family’s Fresh Start

Led by District Director Ronnie Roquemore with assistance from Adam Kosarick and their agents, this Fathom Serves initiative focused on supporting Josh, a single father who had recently obtained custody of his five-year-old son, Malachi. As they began a new chapter together, they needed more than gifts; they needed stability, care, and encouragement during their first Christmas as a family.

A Community Comes Together

To rally support, Ronnie created an Amazon wish list and shared it with agents, family, and friends. The response was immediate and heartfelt. Each item purchased represented a small but meaningful step toward helping Josh and Malachi build their new life together. Fathom Realty agent Monica Royal and her family later joined Ronnie at her home to wrap the gifts, turning preparation into a joyful moment of connection and shared purpose.

A Surprise Filled With Joy

While Josh and Malachi were away from home for a short time, Ronnie, along with a couple of fellow agents and her son, quietly delivered the gifts and coordinated with Malachi’s grandmother to ensure everything went smoothly. When the family returned home, they were met with an overwhelming surprise. What awaited them was not just presents but a powerful reminder that they were supported and cared for. The moment was filled with tears of joy, gratitude, and a deep sense of love that defined the true spirit of the season.
