This mother is doing everything she can to get back on her feet after surviving a deeply traumatic domestic violence relationship. She is the caregiver of her one-year-old child and is currently pregnant, preparing to bring another life into the world while still navigating the emotional and financial aftermath of abuse. Despite the overwhelming challenges she faces, she continues to show strength, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to creating a safe, stable, and loving environment for her children. She is in current need of support and resources to help her rebuild and move forward not just to survive, but to thrive.

A loving family is preparing to welcome a new baby girl this September and has requested assistance with obtaining a crib and crib mattress. Any support in helping them get ready for their little one would be greatly appreciated!

A wonderful kinship family, currently working toward becoming licensed, is caring for four young children with very little support. They could really use our help with diapers in sizes 4 and 6. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Mother and two daughters ages 12 and 5 years old have just moved into their new apartment. Mother has been going through some challenging times, and she is attempting to rebuild a stable environment for her two daughters. Please help strengthen this family by providing a small washer and dryer for this family. Mother is working towards securing employment and is in need of extra support from her community. Helping her would alleviate some stress that the family is currently facing.

A vibrant and imaginative 12-year-old girl is facing a heartbreaking situation. After her legal caregiver refused to allow her to return home, she was left in an uncertain and emotional space. Thankfully, a close family friend didn’t hesitate to open her heart and home to this young soul, offering the stability, care, and warmth every child deserves. This was an unplanned but deeply compassionate act — and now, we’re reaching out to our community for help. With a new child in the household, the family is in urgent need of support to make her feel safe, seen, and supported. From basic necessities to personal touches that reflect her bright personality, any help — big or small — would make a world of difference. About Her: She’s creative, kind, and full of imagination. She loves journaling her thoughts, drawing beautiful things, and exploring self-expression through makeup, hair, and fashion. Her resilience and spirit are inspiring — and now, she just needs the right environment to continue growing. What’s Needed: Clothing & shoes (women's size 6 (shoes), Clothes 14/girls) Journals, sketchbooks, art supplies Age-appropriate makeup/hair/fashion items Bedding & personal care essentials School Supplies Laundry detergent

Any thoughtful contributions to make her feel welcomed and cherished!

Kinship Caregiver has placement of her nephew. He is attending the YMCA Day Camp. Caregiver recently lost her job and is having a difficult time paying for the Day Camp. The YMCA Day Camp offers educational and recreational activities for the child over the summer. The activities offer opportunities to learn and socialize which are important to child development. The caregiver is asking for 2 weeks of assistance so she can continue to search for a job knowing her nephew is in a safe facility with people who care about him.

A family of five with one on the way (Mom is 22 weeks along) has fallen on extremely hard times. Not only is the pregnancy very high risk to both mom and baby, but both parents have lost their jobs and are unable to pay their rent for next month despite doing odd jobs, such as Uber, in order to meet their bills while they look for employment and complete their studies. Both of these parents are also full-time aviation mechanics students that look forward to a future in this field, but they still have a year or more left until they graduate. This family has faced homelessness before, but the stakes are higher now that Mom is pregnant. Between rent and utilities, they find themselves facing an uphill battle against time and are at maximum stress levels. Would you consider helping?

We are working to reunify this family. Bio mom has worked tirelessly to turn things around leaving a DV situation and working to become self sufficient. She now has her own place. We really want to assist with making her apartment a home that her and the children can feel comfortable and safe in.

Two children (girls), 9 and 6yo, were placed with a grandmother. The grandmother has been able to help with some of the girls needs, but she needs sleeping arrangements for them. Mother has not been involved and has not seen the grandmother/children in over 2 months. The children need bunk beds.

I currently have two foster kids who have been returned to their mother and are in need of some dressers for their clothes/rooms. Children are 6 and 12 years old. The family has struggled with keeping the home clean and organized and the dressers will help both the kids and the mother with keeping the home organized.
