This family is a single unemployed mother of 3 children. Mother is activity seeking employment but needs a helping hand with this month's rent. Mother did have an interview with 100 families, but they were unable to help at this time. Her balance is $375.00

I have a client who is a devoted single mother doing everything she can to build a better life for her children, but despite her hard work, they’re still having some struggles making ends meet. Her growing son has a small twin bed that he’s outgrowing, leaving him uncomfortable each night. She dreams of giving him the comfort and space he needs to rest and thrive. A proper bed something so many takes for granted would mean the world to them. It’s not just about furniture; it’s about dignity, rest, and a safe place where her son can grow and dream. My request is to provide this mother with a full-size bed for her son.

We’re rallying support for a courageous single mom who is just one step away from a fresh start. After a year of sobriety and working full-time to build a better life for herself and her child, she’s finally been approved for her very first apartment. It’s a huge milestone — and it’s almost move-in ready.

In this final stretch, she just needs one more week of temporary shelter at the Red Roof Inn before she can move in. We're hoping to cover this short stay so she doesn't have to dip into the savings she’s worked so hard to build — savings that she’ll need to furnish her new home and support her family in this next chapter.

Any help — even a partial contribution — would mean the world. Let’s help make this transition a little easier and show her she’s not alone on this journey.

A single mother of five children, including one son with epilepsy, is in need of assistance with basic toiletries for herself and her children. The family recently moved from a different state to a new neighborhood in search of safer surroundings and better schools. Due to the significant financial strain of paying deposits for their new home and utilities, the family is behind on some of their other expenses.

The mother is receiving SSI for two of her children and needs to stay at home to care for her son, who requires constant supervision due to his condition. As a result, she is unable to work outside the home and is struggling to keep up with day-to-day expenses.

The family is in need of the following toiletries: toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toilet paper, tampons, and pads. Meeting this need will allow the mother to direct the limited funds she has towards essential bills, ensuring that the family does not fall further behind financially.

This support would provide the family with a much-needed boost as they settle into their new home and continue working towards stability. Your generosity would make a meaningful difference in their lives during this challenging transition.

They family is in need of a twin and toddler mattress to help a ICPC placement happen. The family is taking in 5 children and need assistance with getting some initial items such as mattresses. The family is currently not receiving any assistance or monthly payments.

I’d like to share a bit about a dedicated family working hard to provide a safe and loving home for their child. Both parents have intellectual disabilities and receive SSI; however, their disabilities have never diminished their commitment to being responsible and caring parents. At one point, they did experience the hardship of temporarily losing custody of their child. Since then, they have worked diligently and with great determination to meet all necessary requirements to regain custody. They took every step to ensure their home is safe and supportive, and their efforts have paid off—they are now reunited as a family. The parents continue to strive daily to maintain a stable and nurturing environment. One of their current needs is a couple of dressers to help complete their home and support an organized, safe space for their child. Any assistance or resources that could help meet this need would be sincerely appreciated. Thank you for your continued support in helping families like this one thrive.

Please bless this single mom by covering her psychiatric bill. Mom has fled a domestic violence situation, and is doing well repairing her life. She is currently in treatment addressing her mental health, however, due to being an immigrant she does not qualify for health insurance. Please bless this mother by assisting with her psychiatric bill. God Bless!
