This request is for a single mother who lives in the heart of Lynchburg with her toddler. She had family living with her until recently when they moved out of state, leaving her alone to care for her child and keep up income through cleaning houses. Her child currently does not have an actual bed for sleeping. When presented with the possibility of getting a bed for her child, her face lit up like a Christmas tree that there are people who may be able to bring her son a bed. Thank you for any help you can give to this family!!

Family discovered mold in the foundation of the house, impacting the health and wellness of those residing. Cost of mold remediation and installing drainage (sump pump) is far beyond the family's financial means. The costs are far greater than listed but every bit helps.

I am working with a family composed of a mom, dad, and four children ages 8, 6, 3, and a newborn. At a recent home visit, mom explained to me that she has much to do around the house but feels anxious leaving her baby to sleep where mom cannot see her. Mom expressed that she would really like a baby monitor so she can do her household duties while observing her baby, but since having the baby and being unable to work, the finances are tight. This is a small item, but it would bring comfort to mom and safety to the new baby! If a baby monitor is something you or your church could help provide, please reach out! Thank you for partnering with us as we aim to foster comfort and safety for families.

The Lynchburg Department of Social Services is requesting rental assistance on behalf of a single mother of four children who recently relocated to a new apartment in an effort to provide a safer and more suitable living environment for her family. Her previous residence was inadequate and did not meet the basic needs of her children. This move was essential for the well-being and stability of the household. However, the financial burden of securing and maintaining this new apartment has created a significant challenge. Rental assistance would provide critical support in helping her sustain this improved living situation and continue working toward long-term stability for her family while she is looking for work

This request is being made on behalf of a single mother of four children who were scheduled to move into an apartment complex in mid-April. When moving in, the family noted a foul odor throughout the apartment and discovered large areas of the carpeting covered in animal urine. After pulling up the carpeting and padding, it appears that large portions of the carpet, padding, and subfloor are stained by urine and possible mold to the degree that Stanley Steamer declined to clean the carpeting. The apartment complex has refused to replace the carpet and padding and has told the family they can pay to replace the carpet or they can have their security deposit and rent already paid back. The family has no other place to live, must be out of the current home on May 31, and has an exemplary record of past tenancy in our community.
