Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care
At this time, he is in his 60’ with two teenage children with disabilities. The father was previously homeless with the children and residing in the car with them around three years back. The father is able to maintain his rent but is needing assistance at this time. The leasing complex accepts payments online via their Domuso portal. Once the father submitted his $1,000 money order, it was shredded. The picture sent was not legible and therefore denied. As a result, the father is now behind $1,000 in his rent for the month of June. He is also now having to work towards being caught up for July. Please let us assist this father in preventing this family from becoming homeless again. The father is the only form of support for his two children, and they will have nowhere else to go.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family
A single mother of three young children is requesting assistance with beds for her children. After the children’s father left the home, the family struggled financially and was eventually evicted. The mother, along with her three minor children and her disabled mother, recently secured stable housing. However, due to the high costs of the security deposit and rent, she is unable to afford beds for the children.
The mother is currently employed and doing her best to provide for her family. Support with beds would ensure her children have a safe and comfortable place to sleep, which is essential for their health, development, and well-being. Your assistance would bring stability and comfort to this family during a time of rebuilding.

Two struggling, working parents with a 6 month old child are trying to stabilize in a hotel before they can move into an affordable housing option next month. They are both working, working opposite schedules to allow for childcare for their son. They are waiting on a paycheck from their employer tonight, which will help pay for a few nights. Any assistance with a night or two in a hotel and some food for the family would be helpful to get them to their next housing placement. The father is so grateful for the help our agency has provided and does not want to ask for more help but he feels this could get them into a better place financially so they can move into an apartment next month. Thank you for considering helping this sweet couple on their new journey as parents.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family
The caregiver is a father to three young children. He is a non-offending father who has taken his children full time after they were removed from their mother. This father has shown a deep commitment to making his children feel safe and comfortable in his home. He is doing everything he can to make ends meet and provide a loving environment for his family. To create an environment where the children feel settled and comfortable, they will need Trundle Bunk Bed, 3 twin mattresses, 3 sheet sets, 3 comforters, 3 pillows. Bed rail. Now, they have another sleeping arraignment that is not adequate for long term use. This may seem like a small request, but for this family, it represents stability, structure, and safety. It would give the children a sense of security and support for the father who is doing everything to be a supportive caregiver.

A grandma is guardian of her 3 grandkids and is currently having a hard time financially. She said that they are in need of 2 new tires for their vehicle. If they were to get the 2 fresh tires then the grandma would be able to effectively provide transportation for the children. For reference her tire size is 225.60.16. If you can assist with a resource connection or the tires to aid in the transportation of the minor children, this caregiver would be so incredibly grateful.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing
Single mother of one just moved into her new place. The mother is currently seeking support to obtain essential household items to further stabilize their living environment. A dining room table would provide a central space for shared meals and family connection, while a dresser would help organize clothing and create a more comfortable, functional home. These items will contribute to a sense of routine, structure, and well-being for everyone in the household. Any help with these items would be so greatly appreciated.
