I caught up with the southern diva last weekend during T.I.’s Private Birthday Bash, which was held at the home of Lee Najjar aka Kim Zolciak‘s ex-Big Poppa (September 29, 2012).

As proven on numerous occasions, Phaedra Parks has a huge heart. It was her idea to visit with orphaned children during that RHOA trip to South Africa last season and she also manages to or do good right here in her own hometown, by offering assistance to those that are less fortunate than she is.

Pheadra takes her duties as ambassador of the “Be a Hero” foundation very seriously and stepped up to the plate yet again last to grant the wish of an Autistic child.
Details below…
Just this past Saturday in Atlanta, Phaedra and former Biggest Loser contestant Adrian Dortch granted the wish of Lauren Guzzardi’s 5 year old autistic daughter Samantha, who experiences extreme anxiety and does not always have the capability to play in groups of other children.
Her wish was simple… she only wanted a swing set, and thanks to Phaedra Parks and Adrian Dortch (former Biggest Loser contestant) that wish came true.
According to BlackCelebrityGiving, Samantha’s mother requested the swing set because it is difficult for her daughter to play with other kids.
Phaedra and Dortch acted as “Wish Ambassadors” and were more than happy to give Samantha the swing set she’d always dreamed of.
See… there are some “housewives” who actually have a purpose in life.
Major props to Phaedra and Adrian for giving back to the community!

Phaedra looks nice in this picture. ATLien less is more on the concealer,it’s too light as well.
M. I love your makeup. But, when is Phadra going to get rid of the mullet????
After reading the title and seeing your picture I thought you were talking about you being the Autistic child.
Maybe you should have taken the shine off yourself and placed on the child in which you were speaking of as your title page.
There you people go again telling that woman what to do on HER site! Grow the fuck up or log the fuck off!
Michelle you look amazing and I applaud you for being the one blogger who stands behind what they say.
Peace & blessings!
lololololol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Too funny!
This must be Good Deeds week. Great cause and that makes Phae a HERO! Damn ATLien! You get around! Looking GOOD gurl!
Nice to see celebs give back.
That is so awesome. I know that sweet child will enjoy her swing set.
Love it!!!!
STAN
not trying to be mean or anything because i know this is a post about autism but is the autistic person the one on the left doing the hand signs? i will hold off on saying anything mean until i get a response.
LMAO… whew- I done spit my coffee on the damn screen.
Love Phadera style. She always look great!
She really does, she has definitely grown on me.
why in all the pics of ppl from Atl they are holding their hand like that in the pose. If you dont know what to do with your hands..put them in your lap, in your pockets, or behind your back. Reminds me of the 80s jailhouse pose or like you suffered a stroke.
Bwaaahhhaaa not being funny Michelle but I did think you were the retarded one…then I blinked three times and thought u were Derek j…then I saw that dumb ass A sign u was throwing up then I realized it was u
And then I seen yo’ pic, and then I realized AFTER I read yo’ post, that YOU are indeed challenged. Were U throwing up from meds or because U seen your pic too?…scuse me..I gotta go throw up!
i apologize. i thought…nevermind
