A previous mom we helped some time ago has stated the bed we gave is now worn. A photo was provided to show that. She would appreciate a twin bed for her son (mattress and box springs and rails, or platform frame) and a comforter. This will help her son to get the sleep he needs to be healthy and feel secure.

PLEASE NOTE: RISE CHURCH CAN MEET THIS NEED WITH A BED WE ALREADY HAVE IN OUR INVENTORY. NO FURTHER DONATIONS ARE NEEDED.

This Family consist of a mother and father who are trying to coparent a 3 month old. The mother is in need of diapers, wipes and baby formula.

A 9 year old female child has been placed with her paternal grandparents. The grandparents could use help getting the child a booster seat regarding transportation purposes. The child came to Indiana from out of state and does not have a lot of personal items. The child would love to have a bike of her own to ride and play with neighborhood children.

I am working with a mother and father working to get their daughter back after battling substance use. The parents are doing excellent, feeling great and looking forward to their baby coming home. However, they are in need of a few things for their new home and various baby items to help create a home for the baby (1 year old in July). The parents are in need of a diaper bag and all the items (bottles, sippy cups, toys, diapers, wipes, washcloths, baby food, spoons, etc.). They also need a crib and a walker for the baby girl. Lastly, they are in need of dishes, pots and pans and dishcloths.

I am working with a young aunt (26) with 7 year old twins and she has taken in her two nephews (15 and 17), her niece (16) and the niece's son (2). She is planning to keep them and provide legal guardianship. The family is just getting by, and she struggles to ensure all of the kid's needs are met (but they ARE met). The family recently got into a new home and would love to have a washer and dryer to save the time and money spent going to a laundromat. This would help the family immensely as they frequently have the need for additional food and they get assistance at food pantries and sometimes the Care Portal. I am hoping the CP can come through again to help this family. I know it's a big ask, but the family would be overjoyed with even a used washer and dryer. Their hook ups are electric and the outlet has three holes, for the three-prong plug. Thank you so much for your consideration.
On another note, the 15 year old is in need of clothing. He currently wears an XXL in Mens and requested sweat pants, sweat shorts and t-shirts. He stated his wardrobe is comfortable and pretty boring, as he attends online school and does not go out very much.

A mother recently got a place of her own after moving out of her mother's house. The mom has a set of 1 year old twins (boy and girl), a two year old (boy), and is currently pregnant with another set of twins. Mom is trying to get on her feet but does not have beds for her three children and only has 1 crib for the babies on the way. Mother is trying her best to step out on her own and support herself and her children but is financially struggling to purchase beds on her own. Mother stated she would be very grateful for any assistance she may receive.

Father in family currently hospitalized and mother is in long term recovery from major back surgery and other health issues. Mother is looking for work since father cannot work right now. Two children in the home- one beginning high school and one in elementary school. In need of queen size bed and couch in better condition to help with mobility/health needs and sleep as current furniture is in broken/poor condition.

A father recently became placement for his two children (boy and girl) after they were removed from their mother's care after months of homelessness. Father had been searching for his children and is ecstatic to have his children with him. Father has an appropriate home and is doing everything he can to support his household and his children, but has run into funding issues with getting the children appropriate beds. The kids currently have an air mattress, but the family wishes for more stable beds for the children, especially after the months of homelessness they recently experienced. The family stated they would be grateful for a bunk bed with mattresses due to space. They are so thankful and grateful for any assistance they may receive.
