A single mother with three children (ages 3, 19, and 22) is in need of a bus pass to support her efforts to maintain stability for her family. The family recently lost their vehicle, which has made it difficult for the mother to get to and from work, attend medical appointments, and continue her job search.

Access to reliable transportation would greatly ease the family's daily challenges and support the mother in securing consistent employment. Most importantly, it would help ensure the youngest child can attend daycare and that the household remains stable while the family works toward long-term independence. Transportation assistance at this time would make a meaningful difference in the lives of all three children.

A single mother of three is seeking assistance to purchase orthopedic shoes for one of her children, who has been diagnosed with flat feet and is currently under the care of a podiatrist. This child has additional medical needs and frequent appointments, which has made it difficult for the mother to maintain employment at this time. In addition to the specialized shoes, the mother is also requesting support with clothing and footwear for her other two children. Providing these essentials would greatly ease the financial burden on this family and help ensure the children’s comfort and well-being. Any support would be deeply appreciated as this mother continues to care for her children’s health and daily needs. Note: All items can be found at Walmart which was used as a price reference. If you have any questions pleaser reach out.

Single mother of three children is in need of assistance with delinquent car payments. The parent has a child with developmental and mental health needs. She is the sole provider to this child and two siblings while working and attending college full time. This family has no other support from family, friends, or the children's father.

This caregiver is having trouble affording the rent of the home she is currently living in, as her former roommate backed out of moving in and left her with the full responsibility of the lease. Due to recent issues with her Autistic child, she had to miss work and fell behind on her car and house payments. Paying for her car loan to be brought current will allow her to have stable transportation for her and the children, as well as give her a fresh start on the remainder of her financial responsibilities.

Details of payment info will be provided to Connecting Church who takes the lead on this request. Funding is already secured. We just need a church to bless the family with making the car payment over the phone.

We are requesting support for two siblings 6 (M) & 9 (M), who were recently placed in a foster care placement. To help provide a safe, comfortable, and organized environment, the family is in need of twin Bunk Beds and two (2) five-drawer dresser. These items will allow the children to have their own personal space for rest and storage, promoting stability and emotional well-being during this transitional period.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

The caregiver and her family are requesting assistance to cover the rest of her rental payment for this month. The caregiver received the placement of her nephew in February, however, has been struggling with his behavior at school which has caused her to miss out on work. The child has been kicked out from several daycares due to his behaviors, and the caregiver has had to miss work to pick him up and stay with him during the day. The child has a history of trauma which they are working through in therapy and with medications. The caregiver and the team are looking for services for the child to manage their behavior. The caregiver wants to keep the placement of her nephew but needs extra help due to the circumstances. The caregiver is currently receiving funding; however, it does not cover her total rent. The case manager was able to get funding for the child to attend a summer program, which would allow the caregiver to work fulltime without interruptions. The caregiver will be able to cover her future rent payments once the child is in summer care.

4. Description of Request: Mother is the sole caretaker for both of her children. Mom has a stable job and is working towards getting a second job currently. If the family could receive $300 to put towards a hotel stay, it would ensure that mom and the children would have a safe place to stay for the next two days while they search for their new home.

The client is a single mother with a 17-year-old son. The mother has been battling cancer at a severe stage. The child was planning on going to job corp to finish his GED and get a degree in a trade but that was shut down. He now is going to school, but he is having a hard time getting there. His mother has no transportation and does not leave the house much unless it is for doctor’s appointment. They have a bus station in front of their apartment. A bus pass would alleviate the cost of transportation, and it would allow the child to get an education. The mother is unsure how much longer she will be around and is trying her best to make sure her son has the means to care for himself. Thank you!

We are requesting support for three siblings: 11 (M) 9 (M) 7 (M), who are currently experiencing their first summer in care.

The youth is placed with her older sister so the youth may be in a family placement outside of foster care. The family just moved into a home of their own, and the youth has her own bedroom. The caregiver needs assistance with paying her rent this month due to unexpected circumstances that caused her to miss days of work. If the caregiver receives assistance, she will not be behind on her rent and face additional late fees.

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.

The caregivers are currently providing placement to seven siblings on this case. The family requires assistance in ensuring all of the children’s needs are met. The most prominent issue is feeding all the children. I am requesting a Publix gift card to assist the family in meeting the children’s needs. When the request is met, caregivers will receive assistance with feeding the children in their care.
