North Park Community Church

A hard working family of seven, consisting of a mother (43 yrs old), father (56 yrs old), and five minor children (ages 17, 15, 13, 11, and 6), currently resides in a two-bedroom apartment. The father, who is the sole provider, works two jobs, while the mother stays home to care for the children due to her undocumented status, which prevents her from securing stable employment. Occasionally, the mother takes on housekeeping jobs to supplement the family’s income. The family is experiencing significant financial hardship due to the inconsistent nature of the father’s work as a gardener. As a result, they are only able to meet some of their basic necessities. The eldest child is actively seeking employment to help with household expenses. Currently, the family receives rental and utilities assistance from The Help Group’s Prevention and Aftercare Program and is enrolled in CalFresh to supplement their food budget. They are also participating in psychotherapy to enhance their emotional well-being and stability. The 15-year-old child has outgrown her child-sized bed, and the family could really benefit from a twin-size bed and mattress. The child's birthday is also coming up in August and she has expressed a wish to have a larger bed.

A family of 6 with kids who are 12, 10, 3, 1 has moved into the SCV and is need of support. The father is currently looking for work to help support the family but currently they don't have any income. The family has rented an apartment, but they do not have sufficient beds or furniture for the family. The three year old is in need of a twin bed/mattress. The family also needs a dining room table and a couch. Any support would be helpful. Gently used furniture would be welcomed and appreciated.
