Bonsack Baptist Church

This family consists of a mother in housing from a local church charity. The family is in need of a high chair for their 1 year old infant. The father does not work and does not contribute to the household finances. The mother has the child with her 24/7 and is unable to work due to no childcare.

The Department is humbly seeking assistance in our extended community for donations to help ease the financial strain of safely furnishing a household off a single income. A biological mother has been diligently working on achieving the reunification goal for her two children who entered foster care on 11/13/2024. The mother is a domestic violence survivor who was previously residing in a shelter until she was able to obtain stable housing with a FUP voucher by the Department's support. This is the first time in her life she has been able to possess a space of her own. She has limited supplies for the children as she exhausted her resources purchasing their basic needs, such as the bedroom furniture sets for the children. When a walkthrough of the residence was conducted, several safety hazards were observed for a two and one year old. With your help, these donations would help alleviate the burden, wrap this family with warmth, and allow them to take another step toward reaching the goal of a successful Return Home. Thank you for your consideration.

Items Needed: Safety 1st Home Safeguarding Set (Safety Locks for Doorknobs and Outlets) & Safety Door Gates

Young mother of two boys (23 months & 9 months) attempting to make ends meet while the children's father is incarcerated. Mom waits tables on the weekends when she has childcare.

Mom is in the process of applying for childcare through DSS and looking for full time/day employment. Mom has been able to pay all of her bills but her boys are in need of a few things. The boys are in need of Spring/Summer clothes. The oldest wears 3T clothes and size 7 shoes. The younger child wears 18-24 months. I call him a little sumo wrestler. The cutest one I've ever seen! Additionally, the boys need (diaper) wipes, any brand. They have plenty of diapers but need wipes. Lastly, the baby needs formula; Similac Total Comfort (light purple container).

Two young children had to be placed with a relative to avoid coming into Foster Care. The relative is eager to help, but lacks the essential physical items to care for small children. Due to the relative's financial circumstances help is needed to get items for the children.

There's a family here in Bedford County that has been brought to the schools attention due to the needs of the family. We have a single mother of two girls, who has recently been diagnosed with cancer. Due to the severity, this woman is having to stay at the UVA hospital indefinitely. She fortunately has the support of her mother - so her two girls are in the care of their grandmother currently but her mother is driving to UVA x3 a week to visit her and/or bring the girls to see their mother. This has weighed on the family significantly between gas + food. The grandmother is doing the best she can but any type of financial help with gas cards and gift cards would help this family out tremendously as they are in the unknown of what will come next.

Please consider helping a family of 4 keep their electricity on. The family consists of mom, dad, 2 young children with #3 on the way. This winter has been a series of unfortunate events, from storms washing out their drive and power outages leading them to stay with family, and a home break in taking cash they had put away for bills.
They are exhausted, and trying to get back to normal. Hopefully, once this large winter electric bill is taken care of, that will be possible.

The cut-off date for the electricity is 4/3, in the amount of $1051.38. The total account balance is $1553.48.

There is a family here in Bedford County experiencing some significant car troubles at the moment. It is a single mother with her daughter that has a disability who does not feel comfortable riding a school bus so her mother has been making the 20+ minute drive (one way) to get her daughter to and from school each day. At this point, it has affected the mother being able to work herself with transporting her daughter around to medical appointments and school. Since there has been so much milage put her on her vehicle, now the power steering has gone out in the car and it is no longer able to be driven. She took it to J&W to receive an estimate but she has already been struggling to make ends meet let alone cover what it will cost to fix the vehicle. Any assistance would help this single mother out significantly in order for her to travel safely with her daughter and have a means of transportation.
