A single mother who has recently been granted unsupervised/overnight visits with her children needs help fixing her vehicle to be able to provide transportation. One child is temporarily moving to Oregon and the mother will be transporting the child half way every weekend.

The mother stated that her vehicle is now sputtering when she starts it and she does not have the funds to have a diagnostic test done or to repair her vehicle.

Help Remove an Educational Barrier for a Child
Hello everyone, I am currently working with a child (12 years old) who just graduated from the 6th grade and will be going into middle school next year. The child was placed into foster care last month and is doing great in her placement. Despite the child's personal challenges, the child is looking forward to joining the Military Academy in the fall and was accepted into their program. The child currently struggles with reading, and it was recommended that she read a lot over the summer to prepare herself for middle school. The child shared that she enjoys reading Harry Potter and would really love to have the books. I am hoping to find someone who can purchase the set of Harry Potter books for her- new or used!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family
A family is in need of proper sitting arrangements for their children. The parents, who work in the fields whenever jobs are available, face significant challenges due to a lack of transportation and a very limited budget. The family’s home is sparsely furnished, and they are in need of household essentials.
A family of seven Mom, Dad, and five wonderful kids, ages 16, 17, 7, 6, and 4. The home is always full of energy, laughter, and love, but right now, they are missing something that would help bring them even closer together: a couch for their living room.
With such a big family, it’s been hard to find a place where they can all sit together comfortably. The family dreams of having a cozy space where they can gather for movie nights, play games, share stories, and simply relax side by side after busy days.
The family is so grateful for anything that could help make this possible. A gently used couch would mean the world to them — not just as a piece of furniture, but as a place to build memories, strengthen the family bond, and create moments of connection that will stay with them forever.
Thank you.

The agency is currently working with a single mother and her child (5M). The mother is currently homeless, but doing her best to ensure shelter and safety for her child.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family
We are reaching out on behalf of a devoted family in need of support. This hardworking mother and father are doing everything they can to raise their three young children with love and stability, but they're living paycheck to paycheck and are facing a challenge they cannot overcome alone. Currently, their 3-year-old child—who has speech delays and needs a safe, consistent sleep environment—is co-sleeping with the parents. This situation is not only unsafe but is also causing stress and exhaustion for the entire family. They live in a small two-bedroom home, and while they are making the best use of their space, the lack of a proper bed for their toddler is affecting everyone’s well-being. The mother works full-time to provide for the family, while the father stays home to care for their youngest. They are not receiving any public financial assistance and are stretched to their limit. A toddler bed may seem like a small thing, but to this family, it represents safety, dignity, and hope. We humbly ask for your help to provide a toddler bed for this child. Your generosity could be the turning point for a family that is fighting every day to stay together, stay strong, and offer their children a better future.

One of her children is experiencing significant mental health struggles, requiring her full-time care and attention. Because of this, the mother is unable to work outside the home and is doing her best to meet her family's needs with very limited resources. This mother’s love and dedication are unwavering, but the weight of her situation has become too much to carry alone. We are seeking support to help this family with some basic but essential needs:A twin-over-twin bunk bed to provide two of the children with a safe and comfortable place to sleep, the mother currently has two twin mattresses. Neutral-colored bedding is calming, practical, and easy to maintain. A twin bed for her daughter, who needs her own space to rest and grow. Help with groceries to ensure that this mother can feed her children healthy meals during this difficult season, as well as a mattress. Meeting these needs would bring comfort and stability to a home that is doing its very best under incredibly trying circumstances. It would also show this mother that she is not alone that there is a community of people who care and are willing to walk alongside her family. If you feel led to help, in whole or in part, your kindness will make a profound impact. Thank you for your compassion and willingness to be the hands and feet of love and support.
