Support Needed for Our Student Self-Sufficiency Home

We are preparing to expand our Student Self-Sufficiency Home, a safe and supportive space for homeless and unaccompanied youth in Clay County who are 18 years old and working hard to finish high school. This home will provide stability, dignity, and the foundation they need to succeed—and we need your help to make it possible.

As we expand to serve more students, we are seeking donations of household items to furnish and equip the space. Currently, we are in need of:

2 refrigerators, 3 desks and 3 desk chairs, 1 Full Sized bed, 1 side table, and 1 dresser, 2 mattresses, 1 television, 6 pillows, 3 full-sized sheet sets and 3 comforters, 3 sets of towels and washcloths, 3 Set of Mattress Protectors, Household essentials such as laundry detergent, soap, paper products, and cleaning supplies

We kindly ask that all furniture be new or gently used, and linens and personal items (such as comforters, towels, and pillows) be new for hygiene and safety purposes.

If you’d like to support but do not have items to donate, gift cards to stores like Walmart, Target, or Amazon are also incredibly helpful and appreciated.

With your help, we can provide a safe and welcoming home for students who are determined to overcome challenges and finish their education. Thank you for being part of the solution!

Please assist this young mother and father of one. The father lives across town and would benefit from a gift to uber to and from the mother's home in order to visit his young child, he does not have reliable transportation. The mother does have a car but has to work, attend her own doctor appointments, and counseling appointments. Somedays, the mother does not have energy to transport the father as she is battling postpartum depression and simply lacks the energy some days to transport the child to the father or the father to the child for visitation.

Please assist this single mother of three with a gift card to help her purchase cleaning supplies and a laundry card to do laundry in her complex. The mother's home is in disarray and the mother could use financial assistance for the ability to wash soiled clothes (causing the home to smell), purchase detergent, bleach, garbage bags and load money on to her laundry card in order to wash clothes.

The grandmother has welcomed her grandson into her home. Resulting in her to not be able to gain employment as she is the caregiver to an infant. The grandmother is asking for assistance with food for the household. The grandmother is not picky and only requests no pork. While the child enjoys beech nut purees of sweet potatoes and carrots. It is suspected that the child may be allergic to bananas, so please no bananas.

I thank you for your generosity. As does this family.
