The mother and 4 children were deemed to have been residing in poor/unsafe living conditions. The building inspector had deemed the residence to be an unsafe structure with multiple repairs needed before the family could reside in the home. As of 06/16/2025, the home was inspected, and the inspector granted the family permission to enter the home because some of the requirements had been completed. The children are in need of appropriate bedding. The beds were deemed unsafe. Bunk beds or twin beds are needed, new or used. The family would need mattresses and appropriate coverings for the beds. The home is also in need of a couch, new or gently used, for the living room area. The couch that is in the home is in poor condition and needs to be transported to the county dump. The mother has no transportation and relies on a friend or anyone that can assist herself and family.

I am working with a teenage girl, and her mother, who are currently experiencing homelessness and living at the shelter. The child does not have access to any electronics, and suffers from mental health disorders. She could benefit from having a kindle or a tablet of some sort to aide in her de- escilating/ calming when needed. She has no resources to aide her in this way currently.

A mom lives in Lynchburg with her 3 children. Her husband is currently incarcerated, leaving her to be the sole provider. Health complications beyond her control caused her to lose her last job. Last month she got a remote job, which will suit her medical needs better, but it will be several weeks before she gets paid and she has no way to make all of this month's rent which is due 6/16 - latest. She is currently searching for a second job to help make ends meet. Thank you for any help you can provide to this mother as she does everything she can to get back on her feet.

We had a sweet mom come in to our clinic today who is out of work, just found out she is pregnant and has a one year old. She has applied to multiple places to regain employment, and has even had two interviews, but has not heard back. Because of this, she is behind on her rent. To come up to date, she needs $875 to keep herself and her 1 year old daughter in their current housing community. She stated that if she pays this, she will be stable at least through August, and by then is hoping to have a new job. She did interview with 2 places. We supplied her with some physical needs for the 1 year old, but we are trying to keep her from being kicked out pregnant and with her baby. When she came in she had $2, and that was all she had for gas. We are hoping a church can come alongside and help this mom out. Thanks.

A 4 month old child has been placed into the custody of his maternal grandmother due to his mother experiencing a mental health crisis. He is in need of size 4 diapers as well as a new car seat and base.

I am working with a single mother and her young teenage daughter who are at risk of loosing their housing, and currently do not have electricity. The step father recently left the home, and was the provider- the mother is seeking employment currently but does not have transportation so she has limitations with that. They are in need of assistance of any sort, to help pay the electric bill to get it back on, and any assistance to help with this months rent. The mother is taking steps to be able to pay it moving forward, but the family is struggling currently, and having to go to food pantry's to get food as well. Any assistance that can be provided will greatly aide this family. They have been out of electricity for 2 days currently. They also do not have a washer or dryer- and the daughter has been wearing clothes multiple times because they cannot afford the laundry mat and have no way to get there regularly.

This family is living in a 2 bedroom trailer. The trailer needs some renovating done to the back bedroom and bathroom. The bedroom in the back needs new flooring and panels taken down and hauled away. This family is doing their best to make due with what they have in this situation and we would just like to fix this back bedroom so they have that to use.

This mom is in need of child care for her 6 month old son. Mondays from 6pm-9pm, Tuesdays 6pm-8pm, and Saturdays 9am-12pm at her home. She lives in Farmville but the Prince Edward Care Portal has no one to help at this time. This mom is a hard worker at her job daily and pays for his daycare. She is not able to pay for any more childcare at this time. She is trying to finish college and needs this help with child care to complete her classes. She is expecting another child now and wants to complete college to get a better job before her second child is born.

A single mother with two children living in a local mobile home park. The mother is currently in inpatient rehabilitation while her children are cared for by the maternal grandmother. The mother will be returning home this month. The mother's home does not have air conditioning. DSS is requesting a new or used window A/C unit for the family during the hot summer and early fall months.

I'm working with a mom and her 2-year-old son. She has a few different court fines to pay out of Campbell County and Bedford County. This request is being made to help her get back on her feet, and to move forward. She just got a job, and she is working through services. This would help her meet her goal, and to be able to focus on more time building a relationship with her child.

My client is an 8-month-pregnant mother of an 11-year-old girl and a 4-year-old boy. The baby is due in late June 2025. She recently separated from her husband, who experienced a mental health crisis after witnessing a traumatic event. Prior to relocating to the area in May 2025, her family lost everything during a tornado and hurricane in another state. A local shelter assisted in securing housing for them, but they currently have no clothing for themselves or the newborn, nor any essentials for the baby's arrival. Despite being 8 months pregnant, she is enrolled in online classes to pursue a career in medical billing and coding. She has visited local agencies seeking clothing for herself and her children but has been unable to find items that fit. I am requesting a $500 donation to purchase baby items and clothing for the family. This support will not only provide immediate relief but also strengthen the family's bond and well-being during this challenging time.

This family is need of an electric bill paid. They have been given a cutoff notice and the bill is $1100.
