Being a single mom in recovery is hard yet being a single mom with lupus and other medical conditions can be even harder. I am working with a single mom of a four-year-old daughter and a teenage daughter who recently came back home to live with her after living with her grandmother for the majority of her life. It hasn't been an easy road for this mom of three. She has dealt with pain most of her life and has been fighting for disability which continues to get denied yet through her sobriety and with God she is trying to show her children a better life through her pain. Many days she dreads getting out of bed and it is hard for her to get things out of the fridge yet she tries to be the best mom she can be. Life would be a little easier on her body if she had a bottom freezer refrigerator. $899.00

A sweet kiddo in foster care has been approved to visit his dad & grandma in Arkansas for Christmas break. He has not seen his family in over a year and misses them terribly. This young man is 8 years old and absolutely loves airplanes and everything about them. He talks about airplanes nonstop and wants to be a pilot when he grows up. His foster parent has purchased a ticket for him to go visit during Christmas break however she is struggling financially. She knows this trip is needed & this little guy misses his family and also adores planes, so she purchased the ticket. This will be his very first flight and he is over the moon excited about going on an airplane. Foster mom is seeking assistance with the ticket she purchased because she also has other children in the home. She is asking for $150 for help with the plane ticket.

This trip will be something this little guy will never forget, please help fulfill this need and help brighten this little guy's life. Thank you so much!

We are requesting an Uber gift card to help mom with transportation to the hospital to visit her baby in the NICU. The baby was born early and admitted in the NICU for over a month. Mom's car broke down and the costs are not affordable for the family to fix. The roundtrip cost for mom to get to and from the hospital is $22/ day. The team has looked into the bus route and determined it is not a feasible option. The team is working with the hospital social worker for transportation options in the future. The amount requested ($88) will assist mom with transportation for 4 days this week to get to the hospital to visit with her baby. We do ask if the donor can donate an uber gift card in the amount of $88 since mom doesnt have transportation to get to the bank for other payment methods.

A 13-year-old girl, who has recently been placed with her older sister is in need of a few items. Her older sister has 2 children of her own but has now also taken in her younger sister & is in need of help with groceries. She has been running out of food/snacks for the children before the end of the month, now that she has an extra mouth to feed. A gift card to a grocery store or if someone could drop groceries off to the family would be most helpful. The family is without transportation at the moment, and it would be difficult to get to a food pantry during the allotted times. The older sister works from home, so she is home all day if someone is able to drop groceries off to them. The teen is also in need of under garments (Bras, underwear) & personal hygiene items. If you are able to help with this need or know of someone that has resources for these items, it would be greatly appreciated.

The family is in need of two tires for their car. They have wires coming out of two of their tires and have not gotten tires in a few years due to being short of funds. They recently have been able to start a new job that requires them to drive a lot more than they have been. So we are asking for tires for the family. The family has a Nissan Sentra 2012 and need a 205/55R16. They have priced a used tire and it would be about 50.00 each but new tires might be safer for the family as they are driving on the highway now. The price of two new tires would be about 140.00 for two at Discount Tires.

Grandma is the caregiver for the children in the family. She is living off of her social security and cannot afford to buy 2 new tires for her 2004 CRV. She indicated that her car also has an oil leak. Grandma does not have disposable income and with the holidays coming up it's even harder to afford all that they need. Helping this family with tires and possibly with the oil leak will help them to have an easier and less stressful holiday season. The car leak estimate is from a google search, it is not known what the cost would be to look into a repair. Tires would be closer to that $100 a piece number. Her car currently has Pirelli tires.
