Belmont Christian Church

Our program recently enrolled this family in one of our Head Start locations. The family is made up of two adults and one child. This family relocated to this area recently. They have not been able to connect or establish a network of support, as both parents are working and trying to make ends meet. They currently do not have a vehicle of their own to pick up furniture. This family does not have much furniture in their home. They are in need of living room chairs as well as a dining room table and chairs. Anything, new or used, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your consideration. A member of the portal was able to fulfil the previous request for a couch, but it did not fit through the doorway. Chairs would be a better option for the space. That's why I am creating a new request.

A mom is in need of assistance with fixing her car. While driving, her hood flew up and smashed her windshield. She is in need of a hood replacement and windshield replacement. She is a single mom of a teenager who just recently started working. The car is essential for this family as mom drives the child to work and the mother has significant health concerns and needs the car to get to her appointments. She is on disability so she does not have much income to work with.  Mom has advised me that she could get a new to her hood and windshield from the junk yard for around $520. The car is an older model Honda Accord

Single mother is in the process of moving into more affordable housing and working to improve her financial situation. She is experiencing major health issues which make it difficult for her to work and support her middle school aged daughter. She could use some help with some utility bills this month.

Seeking a crib for a 4 month old baby girl. Mom is a single mom who just got her own place. Mom works full time to pay the bills but does not have the funds for a crib at this time. 

Single hardworking working mother of five children has become behind on her electric bill and is struggling to keep up with her bill. She has been working hard to make payments to keep things up to date in hopes of enrolling in a payment plan. In order to do so she is in need of bringing her current bill up to date. She would be grateful for any help as she was in foster care herself and is striving to do the best she can for her and her children without any healthy family support .

We are looking to help a young mom of 4 children. Her second oldest son is severely autistic (non-verbal), and suffers from ARFID (Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder). He attends a school year round in Wytheville, but specific foods have to be provided to the school, and of course at home too. She does have food assistance, however much of the funds are consumed by his very specific food requirements. We are entering this request in the form of a monthly "sponsorship", hoping that multiple churches, individuals, organizations will sign up to sponsor 1 month over the course of the next year. We believe we will then enter a new request the following year.

The mom has suggested that the food be delivered directly to the school (which would cover 2 of his 3 meals each day), or food items can be provided to her home (in Pulaski County). Addresses will be provided for those who sign up to help. Food needs to be delivered to either the school or her home by the 15th of the month that you sign up to help. Specific food items include: 6 boxes (family size) of Nabisco Chicken in a Biskit crackers ($36), 4 bags Doritos spicy Chile flavor ($24), 3 12 packs Lipton Diet Green tea ($21) and 4 boxes Kroger Brand strawberry frosted pastries ($10) - total around $100 per month.

Thank you in advance for stepping up to help this family.
