Calvary Faith Center

Two-year-old child was recently adopted by his caregivers. Three months ago, the department reached out to the caregivers to have adopted child's newborn baby brother placed with them, to keep sibling set together. They accepted. Newborn brother was born medically fragile due to prenatal exposure to illegal drugs. The caregivers are requesting assistance with obtaining a double stroller.

Currently working with a single father who is in urgent need of financial assistance. He has been struggling since being laid off from his job and has been doing everything he can to make ends meet, but it’s been incredibly difficult. The stress of unemployment, his car recently broke down, which he had to repair in order to continue being able to pick up his two daughters from school and summer activities. Now, he’s falling behind on rent—he’s three months behind and can only pay partial amounts each month, just enough to avoid a 3-day eviction notice from his landlord. This situation is taking a heavy toll on him, and he is doing his best to stay afloat. He is in dire need of either a gas card to help with transportation or assistance with his overdue rent amounts. Any support, no matter how small, would make a significant difference in helping him and his children during this incredibly challenging time.

This request is being made urgently for rental assistance and to prevent future eviction. It concerns a single mother whose newborn baby was injured by the child's father, who is currently incarcerated. The mother is working toward reunifying with her baby. Although she does not have employment at the moment, she has interviews lined up for evening work. She is also exploring with the department and 211 for any assistance they can provide. She is dedicated to her child and attends all of the baby's appointments, which means she will need to balance work with staying connected to her baby's care.

The mother needs $1,900 to cover her rent for July. Any assistance that can be provided would make a crucial difference in her situation. Being evicted or trying to find stable housing while working on the reunification process could complicate her case and hinder her ability to reunite with her child

Mother contacted the Management to see what options are available for her to work with them and not have eviction. Mother was informed that she has credit of $400 for over payment on another month. Mother needs $1,500 by the 3rd to avoid eviction. The management company is willing to work with her and give longer time to come up the full rent amount and work out a payment arrangement, but Mother must give a payment before or by the 3rd. Please consider donating, even if it is not the full amount this will help mother not be on the street.

Thank you to our community for the generous donation. An anonymous contribution of $300 was made to assist the mother in need. I have attempted to contact her to provide this information and to check if she has been able to gather additional funds. Unfortunately, it appears that she still requires $1,200 to cover this month's rent.

The mother has had several job interviews and is hopeful about gaining employment soon, but she still needs support to keep her apartment during this transition. Please consider donating to help her and her family stay housed. Thank you for your support.

The client is a 14-year-old female who was removed from her parents at the age of 9, due to neglect (substance abuse/domestic violence) by the mother and her significant other. Child’s bio-father passed away when she was 3. The child was placed in a stable foster home where she remains to date. Mother’s reunification svcs have been terminated; the child is likely to remain in foster care as she does not wish to be adopted or placed in legal guardianship.

The foster parents report the child is a pleasure to have in their home – she is respectful and listens well. The child recently completed 7th grade and admitted she spends much of her time alone in her room. To address/mitigate isolative behaviors, we investigated her interests. This child is quite amazing and is talented in the arts. She enjoys reading, drawing, and is interested in learning to play the flute and violin. Respectfully, we would like to request the following:

• Art Supplies – graphite pencils, sketchbooks, or a gift card to Target, Walmart, or an arts supply store so she can purchase art supplies.
• Gift card to a bookstore such as Barnes and Noble to buy books for summer reading.
• Donation of a gently used flute and/or violin so she can join the school band or take music lessons. Thank you for your consideration in assisting with the requested items. Obtaining these items will help prevent isolative behaviors, increase social integration and self-confidence, and develop her artistic skills.

This request is for a refugee family of 7 who recently moved from a small furnished apartment to an unfurnished one. They are asking for a refrigerator that is in good working condition. Since they live in an apartment, the ideal size would be between 20 and 24 cu ft. Style is not essential.

The father has only been able to secure work two days a week, and the mother stays at home to care for the five children. The father attends school to continue improving his English skills, which will give him more employment opportunities.
