I am currently working with a family of three who are facing financial hardship and are in urgent need of assistance with their utility bills, specifically for water and electricity services. The family is at risk of service disconnection. Household: 1 adult and 1 child and 1 newborn

A family of 6 is currently in emergent need of housing. The family is comprised of two grandparents caring for their four granddaughters; one of which is only a few weeks old. This family has recently been evicted from their home and have been staying in a motel while searching for housing, however, they will no longer have the funds to continue their stay past 6/17. With no housing the children are at risk of coming into foster care as they need a safe environment to reside. This risk could be resolved with the extension of the motel while the Department assists the family in finding housing.

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out on behalf of a dedicated single father who is working hard to provide a safe and stable environment for his two young daughters. He is currently in urgent need of two car seats to ensure his girls can travel safely and legally.

Despite financial challenges, this father is doing everything he can to meet his children’s needs. However, the cost of car seats is currently beyond his reach, and he would be incredibly grateful for any assistance or donation to help secure these essential items.

We are looking for:

One car seat suitable for a toddler age 3

One car seat for a younger child or infant age 1

I am working with a single mother, of three children who has two jobs to support her family. She is in need of some bunk beds, for her daughters room. Any help that could be given to her, would be greatly appreciated.

The mother and 4 children were deemed to have been residing in poor/unsafe living conditions. The building inspector had deemed the residence to be an unsafe structure with multiple repairs needed before the family could reside in the home. As of 06/16/2025, the home was inspected, and the inspector granted the family permission to enter the home because some of the requirements had been completed. The children are in need of appropriate bedding. The beds were deemed unsafe. Bunk beds or twin beds are needed, new or used. The family would need mattresses and appropriate coverings for the beds. The home is also in need of a couch, new or gently used, for the living room area. The couch that is in the home is in poor condition and needs to be transported to the county dump. The mother has no transportation and relies on a friend or anyone that can assist herself and family.

I am working with a teenage girl, and her mother, who are currently experiencing homelessness and living at the shelter. The child does not have access to any electronics, and suffers from mental health disorders. She could benefit from having a kindle or a tablet of some sort to aide in her de- escilating/ calming when needed. She has no resources to aide her in this way currently.

A mom lives in Lynchburg with her 3 children. Her husband is currently incarcerated, leaving her to be the sole provider. Health complications beyond her control caused her to lose her last job. Last month she got a remote job, which will suit her medical needs better, but it will be several weeks before she gets paid and she has no way to make all of this month's rent which is due 6/16 - latest. She is currently searching for a second job to help make ends meet. Thank you for any help you can provide to this mother as she does everything she can to get back on her feet.

We are seeking rental assistance and car repairs for a Mom who is doing anything and everything she can to provide a safe and stable home for her children. Mom recently encountered a setback when the only vehicle broke down, leaving them unable or having to walk to get to work, medical appointments, and transport kids to school and daycare. Despite moms best efforts to maintain financial stability, the unexpected cost of having the vehicle diagnosed and repaired is beyond the Moms means. Without the vehicle, this could result in Mom and boyfriend falling further behind on bills and medical appointments. We are asking for help with getting the care diagnosed and repaired which is an unknown cost, which is why the request will show $10. We are also seeking help with paying rent for this family as they have fallen behind a month due to having to miss work. Having both of these requests filled will help this family with five children get back on track and on their feet.

We had a sweet mom come in to our clinic today who is out of work, just found out she is pregnant and has a one year old. She has applied to multiple places to regain employment, and has even had two interviews, but has not heard back. Because of this, she is behind on her rent. To come up to date, she needs $875 to keep herself and her 1 year old daughter in their current housing community. She stated that if she pays this, she will be stable at least through August, and by then is hoping to have a new job. She did interview with 2 places. We supplied her with some physical needs for the 1 year old, but we are trying to keep her from being kicked out pregnant and with her baby. When she came in she had $2, and that was all she had for gas. We are hoping a church can come alongside and help this mom out. Thanks.

A 4 month old child has been placed into the custody of his maternal grandmother due to his mother experiencing a mental health crisis. He is in need of size 4 diapers as well as a new car seat and base.

This family is living in a 2 bedroom trailer. The trailer needs some renovating done to the back bedroom and bathroom. The bedroom in the back needs new flooring and panels taken down and hauled away. This family is doing their best to make due with what they have in this situation and we would just like to fix this back bedroom so they have that to use.

This mom is in need of child care for her 6 month old son. Mondays from 6pm-9pm, Tuesdays 6pm-8pm, and Saturdays 9am-12pm at her home. She lives in Farmville but the Prince Edward Care Portal has no one to help at this time. This mom is a hard worker at her job daily and pays for his daycare. She is not able to pay for any more childcare at this time. She is trying to finish college and needs this help with child care to complete her classes. She is expecting another child now and wants to complete college to get a better job before her second child is born.
