12Stone Church - Snellville

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out on behalf of a single mother of seven children who has recently achieved a significant milestone by securing stable housing for her family. This accomplishment marks an important step toward long-term stability and well-being for both her and her children. While she is grateful to have a place to call home, the residence remains largely unfurnished. At this time, the family is in urgent need of essential household items, including: • Twin beds for the children • A dining table and chairs • Basic furniture to help make the space livable and comfortable

The client is a single mother of three children, ages 17, 16, and 13. She recently removed herself and her children from an unsafe living situation and, for several months, they stayed in a single room in a friend’s home. With support from a local community agency, the client has successfully secured stable housing. The family is now working to rebuild and regain a sense of normalcy. The client currently earns income through contract work, including DoorDash, Uber, and Lyft, as she has not yet secured stable, full-time employment. She is putting in significant effort to improve her circumstances, and stable employment is a critical step in achieving long-term stability for her and her children. As the family is essentially starting over, they have only their clothing and a few personal belongings. The client is seeking assistance to pay the referral fees required to obtain furniture through the Furniture Bank. She would be deeply appreciative of any support that can be provided to help meet this need.

We have a family of 9 consisting of 1 single mother and 8 children who lack certain resources. There are 2 infants one being a baby and the mother has no stroller to take the child outside.

A single mother working tirelessly to rebuild her life after tragedy urgently needs clothing for her three children. After a devastating flood rendered their apartment uninhabitable, most of their belongings, including their clothes, were destroyed. Her children now rotate between just four outfits each as they live daily in a motel, waiting to move into a stable home. Her ten-year-old son wears size 4 to 4½ in shirts and 12 or medium in pants. Twelve-year-old daughter wears a junior medium shirt, pants size 18, and shoe size 5. Eleven-year-old daughter wears a medium shirt, pants size 14–16 juniors, and a shoe size 5. This family, displaced and struggling, would be deeply grateful for any clothing donations to help bring comfort and stability back into their children’s lives.

Hello everyone, I am reaching out to see if we can help a newly reunified family. This parent has overcome trials and tribulations to be reunified with her 4 beautiful young babies. She is asking for a bit of help getting groceries for this month as she recently applied for few stamps and has not yet had her interview. If you all are able to provide assistance for groceries for this month please reach out. Thank you for everything that you to do help our families in need.

The mother recently sustained a fractured foot and a sprain in the other, and is currently using crutches and wearing a medical boot. She is the sole caregiver for her four children, ages 8, 2, 1, and a newborn. The family is temporarily residing in an extended stay hotel and is experiencing significant financial hardship. The children are currently in need of milk/formula and food. Although the mother receives food stamp benefits, they have been depleted and will not replenish until 5/23/25. She currently has only $5 in her bank account. The children's father is currently detained in jail, and as a result, the mother has had to stop working to care for the children full-time. Her extended family lives in New Jersey and is unable to offer financial support.

Walton County has a newly turned 19 year old foster child who is residing in an independent living program, attending cosmetology school full time. She had a birthday at the end of April and has expressed she would enjoy a Nintendo Switch Mini Animal Crossing bundle. We would love to surprise her and be able to present this gift to her considering she is working very hard to complete cosmetology school so she can obtain a job and further her independence.

Please let us know if you can help purchase the system or a gift card to purchase the system!

Please help preserve three foster children with their relative placement! White County DFCS has 3 children placed with their grandfather who resides in Walton County. This grandfather has taken on caring for his three young grandchildren. During the home assessment, it was noted that there is a substantial amount of items or clutter that is causing them pause with the approval.
The grandfather is in need of assistance obtaining a storage building. The grandfather would greatly benefit from assistance paying for the storage building for three months. This helps him get through the home evaluation process and supports him as he balances medical appointments for the children. The grandfather would also greatly benefit from any and all assistance with hauling the items to the storage unit. He has a lot of the items already packed into boxes. This helps preserve children being with biological family and helps the home to be able to be approved to maintain that familiar bond. Thank you!

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to you as the Court Liaison for DeKalb DFCS on behalf of Probation Officer Williams, who is passionately advocating for a remarkable young mother in our community—a 16-year-old girl eager to change her life and build a brighter future for herself and her one-year-old son.

This young mother has made the inspiring decision to return to school and pursue her GED, overcoming the challenges of her past. To achieve her educational goals, she will need reliable transportation via MARTA three days a week to attend her classes. Her mother is lovingly stepping in to care for her grandson while she focuses on her studies, but unfortunately, her mother is currently unemployed and unable to cover the cost of MARTA fares.

In addition to her classes, this dedicated young woman visits the courthouse monthly to meet with her probation officer, who is guiding her in envisioning a hopeful path forward. To facilitate her education and potential future employment, we kindly request assistance in providing her with a monthly MARTA card.

Your support in this matter would not only ease the burden of transportation but also empower this young mother to realize her dreams and aspirations. Thank you for considering this request. Any assistance you can provide would be immensely appreciated.

Warm regards.

• Shoe color preference does not matter.

For the 2-year-old girl:

• Uniform colors: navy bottoms and a red top

We are reaching out on behalf of a young family in our community who are currently facing a deeply challenging time. This couple, already loving parents to a young child, are now expecting their second baby—a long-hoped-for blessing that has brought them immense joy and gratitude.

However, early in the pregnancy, the expectant mother experienced a serious hemorrhage and has since been placed on strict bedrest to protect both her health and the health of her unborn child. This sudden change has made it impossible for her to continue working, significantly reducing the family’s household income.

While her husband continues to work and care for their child, the family is struggling to keep up with essential expenses. They are currently seeking assistance with a utility bill in the amount of $116, which is overdue. This support would provide immediate relief and help ensure that their home remains a safe and stable environment during this critical time.

Despite the challenges, the couple remains faithful and hopeful, trusting in the kindness of their community. Your support—no matter how small—would make a meaningful difference in their lives.

Mom's apartment recently flooded, damaging some of her furniture. She needs a dining table set for four. Mom has two sons, aged 5 and 9, and she is incredibly loving, always doing her best for her family. Although she only requested a dining table, she mentioned to her case manager that the water also ruined her couch. If possible, Mom would appreciate a couch donation as well, but she prefers to prioritize the dining table.
