I am writing on behalf of a client who is currently in need of utility assistance. She is a hardworking mother of three small children who are actively working and attending school to build a better future for her family. Despite her efforts, she is facing financial hardship and requires some additional support to remain stable. Currently, the client is seeking assistance with the following utility bills:

• Walton EMC Electric Bill: $440 • Gwinnett County Water Bill: $164 (SHUT OFF NOTICE FOR 6/4/25)

To help make the Walton EMC bill more manageable, the total is broken down into two smaller increments of $220. With the assistance of a sponsor, the client can maintain essential services while continuing her work and educational pursuits.

Since the initial report on 5/12, the mother and her children have been experiencing housing instability and were living in their car. The agency was able to assist by arranging temporary lodging for the family at a motel for several nights. After leaving the motel, the family began staying with a friend who offered them a place to stay for a couple of weeks.

The mother is currently employed at Publix and has reliable transportation. She is making every effort to provide for her children despite significant challenges. She reported that her husband, the children’s stepfather, has left the family and is refusing to offer any support or assistance. The children are ages 7, 9, 11, 14, and 15. The family could use any monetary support to help them buy groceries, gas, toiletries, etc.

We have two children currently in Hall County with their Paternal Grandmother while the mother is in Rehab and the father is incarcerated. The grandmother indicated that they could use some assistance with Summer clothing for the girls. They are in need of shorts, shirts, tank tops, dresses, shoes, swimsuits. The girls wear sizes 5T and 10 in shoes as well as size 2T and 5 in shoes.

We have a single father who recently moved into a bigger place in Gainesville so that he can reunify with his son. He was approved to start overnight visits, but needs a bed and appropriate bedding for these overnights to begin. This father works full-time and is gainfully employed. He has all of his funds tied up in the housing/move expenses. This father's first visit will be on 6/6/2025. A used twin bed, box spring, and frame is also needed in addition to the bedding. The 6 year old child loves Spider-Man!

Thank you for helping us support this family getting back together.

This is a unique request! We are looking for people willing to donate their time. We have a grandfather in Loganville who is currently taking care of his grandkids, and he needs help decluttering several areas of his home, in order to make the home safe for the kids. Some of his belongings can be donated and some can be thrown away. We have a contact who is willing to donate a dumpster to assist with this work.

One of our foster homes is a kinship caregiver who opened her home to care for three of her nephews who are in foster care. Our foster parent is a beautiful partner with her sister in caring for her children while in foster care and also supporting her sister's parental capacity and stability. Due to this partnership and Mom's diligent work on her case plan, we are preparing to return her son to her home. She is making progress on her case plan and has just begun overnight visits, with the goal of achieving reunification before the end of the summer. This mom has 5 kids who are currently in three different placements, and Mom is doing everything she can to reunite them, including driving round-trip from Macon to Loganville twice a week for visits. She has expressed that she needs a bunk bed for the room of two of her younger kids. Thank you for considering helping with this need! Go To Link

The caretaker and her daughter need some financial help paying for a TB test and a physical for her and her daughter to be established as a foster parent.

We have a 19yo girl who chose to sign back into foster care after leaving an abusive relationship. She is attending her GED program 2x/wk and cares for her 9mo son. Currently she is in need of nice/professional clothes for job interviews. We are asking for a gift card to a store (Walmart/Target/etc.) to assist her with obtaining the clothes. Please let us know if you're able to assist!

We have a teenager who has recently found a book series he really likes. The series is called The Bluford Series. He already has books 1-8 which has been given to him by his support group. He has been reading them pretty quickly so any help getting him more of the books would be greatly appreciated. Each book on amazon is around $4-$6.

We have a Mom of two who is in need of help purchasing groceries. Money has been very tight right now and we want to make sure the family can stay together. We are hoping to get mom a $100 gift card for groceries.

A kinship caregiver, a maternal grandmother, needs a bunk bed in order to house her grandsons. This would preserve the kinship placement.

Hall County is working with a hard working single father who is in need of a lock box for medication to keep his child safe from reaching the medications. He is very limited on extra funds and desperately needs the item.
