I am looking to help a family of five obtain financial assistance to fix their vehicle. The student that attends my school has been experiencing a lot of anxiety about his ability to get to school consistently, as he has had to miss several days due to lack of transportation. When possible, the parents pay third parties (i.e. Lyft or Uber) and this has created further hardship. One parent is in school full time and the other parent has a disability that prevents them from working. The student that attends my school was born with a brain tumor and continues to have frequent medical visits. Helping this family come up with the financial resources to fix their vehicle would help to reduce their stress and the stress of the children that depend on them, while allowing the children to get to school and other necessary appointments.

A mother and her three children, who have had a significant history of homelessness need assistance with a security deposit. Family has finally secured housing and has a section 8 voucher but they are struggling with the security deposit. Getting the deposit covered will allow them to have secured housing going forward

I have a family at our school who is having trouble making ends meet this month. They are short $250 this month on rent because they had been sick with the flu and had to take unpaid days off from work to care for themselves and their kids. Anything you could provide for this hardworking family with a special needs child would be greatly appreciated!

This is a celebration of resilience and triumph. A remarkable young mother of seven has navigated a challenging journey and has been collaborating with DSS for over a year. I am thrilled to share that she has finally secured her own housing after enduring homelessness for more than a year. This courageous mother has faced and conquered domestic violence, mental health struggles for herself and her children, and the hardships of being without a home. DSS is reaching out for community support to provide gently used household items. This family is embarking on a new beginning and starts with nothing. They require essential household items to create a warm and welcoming home. Items such as couches, beds, linens, bath towels, dressers, hangers, pots, pans, forks, spoons, curtains, lamps, TVs, cleaning supplies, mops, brooms, and toys for the children are all vital for building a nurturing environment. Let's come together to make a difference!

Bio mom is in need of bedding for herself and 2 children. Children have been moved around from foster home to foster home while mom is seeking treatment. Bio Mom is hoping to reunify with children soon, however, unsupervised home visits are needed to ensure children can live at home safely. The visits can start once mom has proper bedding for the children and herself. She is working hard to furnish er home and has an outside agency's support for securing beds, We are requesting assistance providing pillows, sheets and blankets for the family.

A seventeen-year-old who recently entered foster care has been seeing a therapist whom he has seen for many years. She knows his situation well and he feels very comfortable seeing her for therapy. He says she's "awesome." Upon learning that the teen entered foster care, the therapist applied to take Medicaid so she could keep him as a client. However, this process takes several weeks and the teen and his placement do not have a way of paying the therapist in the meantime. Any support with this request is greatly appreciated!

This family is so close to reunification and are just waiting on housing. They have already made payments towards the housing payment and have also had some help from grandmother but are still needing the rest in order to move in.

A mother and her teenage daughter have recently moved into our community after experiencing homelessness. They’re now in a small one-bedroom apartment and are doing their best to get back on their feet. At the moment, they’re sleeping on a deflated air mattress on the floor. They've been able to gather some pillows, blankets, and sheets, but their biggest need is a queen-sized mattress and bed frame. In addition, a vertical dresser and basic kitchen items like plates, silverware, and utensils would be a huge help as they work to make their new space a true home. Providing these essentials would bring them comfort, stability, and a meaningful step toward rebuilding their lives.

A teenager was battling a significant heart condition and sadly passed away last week. The family is devastated and is relying on God and the community’s prayers in order to continue to put one foot in front of the other. The young man had plans to become a pilot and loved his family deeply. He was raised by a single mom and his siblings are absolutely devastated. His Mom has not put money aside for his funeral as this was an unexpected death. If a church is willing or able to assist with funeral expenses, the family would greatly appreciate the financial contribution. Thank you for your consideration.

We are reaching out to request your assistance for a family we are supporting. A mother and her daughters are facing difficult circumstances, including the loss of two parents and the removal of one child from the home. Due to these significant life events, the mother has been unable to work and is now behind on several payments.

DCCCA has done what we can to help and has explored community resources, but unfortunately, we have not found any viable solutions. The mother is seeking assistance to cover half of her rent. Additionally, DCCCA has already helped by paying the electricity bill, which was disconnected this morning.

We understand that the amount needed is substantial, and we are hopeful that multiple churches can come together to support this family. Thank you for taking the time to read this message. We sincerely hope you can help us keep this family together and prevent eviction and further distress.

This youth has been in foster care for several months primarily on one-nights without a long term placement offering stability and security. This youth is a teenager who needs stability and support. We will be transitioning this youth to reintegrate with his mother who has relocated since the case began. Reunification is the best plan for this youth and their family to be sure their needs are met. Reunification will require this youth to have a bedroom and bed of his own to sleep in which mom is currently unable to provide. We are in need of the bed as this is the final item needed to support this family in reunification efforts. We are confident that once he returns home, his behaviors will continue to improve and this family will be able to continue to thrive with the support of therapy and community resources.
