This family consists of mother and three children ages 3, 2, and 6 months. The children are currently placed in a foster home and Mother is working towards reunification. The family was homeless at the time the children entered foster care, but with determination Mother has obtained a three bedroom apartment. The family lost all of their belongings and are starting fresh. Mother is currently in the apartment without basic supplies for everyday living. We are asking for assistance with pots/pans/cooking utensils, kitchenware, towels, paper products, cleaning products, etc. Anything is appreciated to aide this mother to have normalcy in her new home.

There is a set of (11 yrs old) twin boys who live with their grandmother who holds custody of them. Grandma works part time. The children have some special needs and mental health issues. The family is compliant with the agency being involved however need some additional supports.

Grandma needs help with clothes for the boys for the upcoming school year due to them out growing their old clothes. This would include, socks, underwear, shirts, shorts, pants, jackets, and potentially shoes if possible.

One child wears 12/14 sized clothing, with a shoes size 5. The other child is 14 husky, with a shoe size 5.

We have a sweet family that have been clients of ours for a few years. They have gone though several of our parenting programs. They relocated to Atlanta. GA in search of a better living situation since they have roots down there. It has not worked out and they have been living in hotels. They don't receive much disability for the family of 5 and no car. In Atlanta to receive any assistance you must 1st reside in a homeless shelter for period of time and they don't want to have their children in a shelter. They desperately want to come back to Ohio but cant afford bus tickets PLUS what they will need for deposit and 1st months rent for a new apartment. They are looking for a church or anyone who would provide bus tickets for 4. They have 3 children but the baby can sit on a lap.

We are working with a 2 parent household with 4 children; 1 child is a newborn. The family home does not have air conditioning and with the temperatures currently over 90 degrees, the family is in need of fans for their 2-story apartment. The family is also in need of fly traps/strips due to the amount of flies that come in through open windows and the door being opened as there is no air conditioning. We are hopeful that these needs will support the family enough that alternative placement is not necessary. The fans show between $50-$100 each on Amazon, and fly strips are around $10-$25 per a 4 pack. Thank you!

A cousin to mom took in a new infant. Shortly after that, in March 2025, she was struck by a car and has been unable to work full-time. She also had a sewage pipe leak in her former housing and lost her livingroom furniture and a signicant amount of household goods. Family has limited income to replace everything. There is no couch for the children to sit on, and the baby needs a crib. The agency is working on replacing other things and is hoping CarePortal can help with these two items.

We no longer need the crib, but we do need the crib sheets.

We have a kinship provider who has taken on the care of 4 boys in her home. There has been some miscommunication regarding what she needed in relation to the beds. Information received was that she needed 2 bunk bed twin frames for 4 mattresses she had already. We purchased the 2 bunk bed frames, but the caregiver did not have the mattresses and is still in need of 4 twin mattress. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Backpacks & BBQ is an annual outreach event hosted by Middletown Nazarene Church that brings together our church, community, and local partners to support students and families preparing for the school year. We provide free backpacks, serve a full cookout-style meal, and offer a safe, fun, and welcoming environment for children in need in our community.

Each summer, hundreds of neighbors come together at our church for this day of joy and generosity. Children leave ready to start school with confidence and dignity — and families leave knowing they are seen, supported, and loved.

More information about the event can be found here: Go To Link

As part of this event, we want to provide sanitary and hygiene products for the students, so they can go back to school with confidence.

Single father of a 13 year old daughter and two boys ages 9 and 4 seeking assistance with 2 bills so that father may put more money towards rent. Father is in need of 200 for a Duke bill and 195 towards a cell bill so he can pay his 2300 mortgage payment and rent payment. Father has gained custody of his children in a recent divorce where mother was charged with domestic violence. Father has sole custody and is also paying for the mortgage of the marital home and rent for the property he has attained to keep himself and the children at until the courts can settle the marital finances. Father works full time and is seeking assistance with these bills to help him pay mortgage and rent along with meeting the children's basic needs. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

This family is in need of nonperishable foods and diapers/wipes to get them through recently being evicted. Mom has just had a baby and is still trying to recover from birth while dad struggles to find work in manual labor, as he faces physical challenges due to a previous injury.

They could really use any supplies that are available to be donated to them as I help them look for housing and employment.

Hello CarePortal family!

We’re walking alongside a resilient single mom of two young children who has recently moved out of shelter and is working hard to build a stable home. One of her current challenges is providing a safe space for her infant to stretch, play, and develop while she manages the needs of her household.

To support her in this transition, we’re requesting an Exersaucer to give her baby a secure, engaging space to grow, allowing mom a bit of relief while continuing to care well for her family. Thank you for considering how you might come alongside this determined mom with love and practical support!

Warmly, Cecilia Wallis

Close your eyes and envision a young, single dad as first-time parent in a 900 ft sq apartment. The living room is taken up by a big couch that doesn’t give his son, who will be returning home enough room to have space to play. You look to the left and see a kitchen that is small, clean and empty for a space for a small table and two chairs. Then you hear the dad say, “this was all I could get”.

As a nurture, I’ve grown familiar with the quiet strength it takes to keep a household running- especially during difficult times. Every day brings its own challenges, but also small victories; a meal on the table, a safe place to sleep, and the warmth of love within the home.

This letter is written with humility and hope. I am seeking support in obtaining a small couch and table with chairs to improve the functionality and comfort of the father’s home. These items would not only provide relief but also help create a more stable environment for the father and his son.

There is a family who recently opened their doors to 3 kiddos in need of a home. They are in need of beds so that they have a comfortable place to sleep. They would love if someone would be kind enough to provide them with either 3 twin beds or a bunk bed and 1 twin bed. Bedding will also be needed for these children. Your kindness is greatly appreciated.
