Request for Support: A Grandmother’s Love in Action

We are reaching out on behalf of a devoted maternal grandmother who has stepped in to care for her five young grandchildren—all under the age of 7. She is doing her best to create a safe and loving home where they can grow and thrive, but the financial strain is overwhelming.

The children are growing quickly and are in urgent need of everyday essentials like clothing, shoes, underwear, socks, and diapers and groceries. Grandma is committed to providing a stable environment, but she cannot do it alone.

Here are the children’s specific needs:

Child #1 “P” (girl, 7 yrs) – Clothing size 8–9

Child #2 “K” (girl, 5 yrs) – Clothing size 6–7

Child #3 “K” (boy, 4 yrs, autistic, non-verbal) – Clothing size 6–7, size 5 diapers, special diet needs

Child #4 “H” (girl, 3 yrs, feeding tube) – Clothing size 6–7, size 5 diapers

Child #5 “B” (girl, 2 yrs) – Clothing size 4T, size 4 diapers

Your support—whether through clothing donations, groceries or other essentials—would be a tremendous help. Help us show this grandmother and her grandchildren they are not alone.

Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus during their time of need.

A single working mother was granted temporary custody of her granddaughter and is also the primary caregiver for her 11-year-old daughter. She budgets her income to meet the needs of herself and her daughter. However, the unexpected responsibility of caring for her granddaughter disrupted her financial planning, leading to difficulties in managing additional expenses. As a result, the mother fell behind on rent and utility payments, which she is currently working to catch up on. She is seeking assistance with clothing, baby items, personal hygiene products, shoes, and socks for both her granddaughter and daughter, so they can enjoy a comfortable and fulfilling summer.

This request is on behalf of a Hope Florida participant. She is a single mom and needs help for her two young children. She has recently fallen on hard times and is currently experiencing homelessness. She was able to secure temporary shelter placement and has recently started a new job as she works toward rebuilding stability for her family. She is requesting assistance with a bus pass for transportation, food (as the shelter only provides a microwave and there’s no kitchen), and pull-ups for her youngest daughter. She is deeply grateful for any support or kindness extended to her during this challenging time. This will be an enormous help to her and will reduce her worry on how she will get by and provide for her children. The pricing for the items was obtained using Go To Link

A family of seven in the Hope Florida program is experiencing significant financial hardship after the father lost his job in February and the mother in April. While actively seeking full-time employment and relying on their savings to cover household expenses, they are struggling to meet their children’s basic needs. The emotional and financial strain is weighing heavily on the parents, who are doing their best to maintain a sense of normalcy for their five children and shield them from the burden of their circumstances. The children need Food and hygiene items: Diaper size 3, Pull ups size 4-5t (they cost around $35 on target), Toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, wipes. The family thanks you in advance for your support.

The client is currently 35 weeks pregnant and facing a high risk pregnancy. She is a fulltime working mother of two children but is currently experiencing financial hardship. As she prepares to go on maternity leave, she recently discovered that her short term disability benefits on which she was relying were mistakenly canceled, leaving her without the income she expected during this critical time. This unexpected situation has caused significant stress, particularly as she tries to prepare for the arrival of her baby while continuing to support her family. The client is in urgent need of assistance, specifically requesting a car seat and stroller. These essential items are necessary for the baby’s safety and well-being, especially for transportation to medical appointments and other important needs.

If this need is met, the client will be better prepared for the safe arrival of her newborn. Receiving a car seat and stroller will help ensure the baby’s safety and allow the client to focus on her health and recovery during maternity leave without the added financial burden. It will also provide a sense of relief and stability during a challenging time, supporting a smoother and healthier transition into the postpartum period for both the client and her family.

We have a twin sibling group (2 Fraternal Twins) who are both approaching a significant date as they age out of fostercare in June. This change has left them both feeling anxious, as they haven't had the opportunity to plan how they will celebrate their 18th birthday because their living situation is on their minds. One of the twins stated "I can't even think about my bday because I don't even know where I'm going to live"

One is a passionate basketball player, and faces the disappointment of having to change schools after successfully making the basketball team. The other loves music and is on the band and her too has to deal with having to change schools.

We aim to at least make their birthday special, given that they have not had the capacity to plan for it. When they are asked about their dream 18th birthday experience, they expressed a desire to take a boat tour at Bayside with each other. We would like to arrange for them to participate in both the speedboat experience and the Star Island boat tour, we would also love for them to enjoy lunch and go shopping on their 18th birthday. Can you help us make the day they turn 18 about their birthday and not about aging out?
