Roanoke Valley Church

Two children in foster care who plan to be on a trial home placement in coming months. Anticipation to begin overnights in coming weeks. Family is in need of two beds. Family ideally would like bunk beds that could eventually be separated into two twin beds or a twin bed over a full bunk bed.

This family has two little children, both under 2 years old, and their mother urgently needs reliable transportation. She depends on her vehicle to take her kids to essential doctor’s appointments and to get to work every day. Right now, her car tires are worn out and unsafe. We’re asking for a Visa gift card to help her buy new tires and keep her family moving safely.

Please consider this family. Children are currently placed with grandmother while mom completes her parenting classes and other services. Grandmother would love for her and the children to ride the bicycle in the afternoons. Children are in need of some bicycles. Both children are boys, and the sizes would be 24" and 18". Thank you so much for considering this family, they will greatly appreciate it.

Please consider this family. Single mom needs some help fixing her windows at her house. There are 3 broken windows, and one window needs plexiglass fixed. Mom has suffered from domestic violence and is wanting to move out of her home to start over. To do that, she would need her windows repaired. Mom does not really have the resources to fix them. She would greatly appreciate the help from the community.

Child is currently placed with paternal great aunt. This is a kinship placement process with this family. Parents have not been taking formula for the child, due to having visitation suspended. There was a CarePortal request for Gentle Ease Enfamil, but wrong formula was delivered. DSS is asking for assistance with this in the form of formula, or a gift card to Walmart so that she may purchase, though aunt is currently recovering from knee surgery and not able to drive..

Good Morning. I want to start off thanking you all for everything you do. I have a family that is needing some furniture. They have a son that has outgrown his bed. She also is in need of another bed for herself. She stated that she needs them to be full size due to the space of her home. She is also being forced to move out of her home at the beginning of next month due to her landlord selling her home. If there is any way you all can help provide some furniture so that when she moves, she will have the appropriate things for her home. Again, thank you all and I look forward to hearing back from you.

I am writing to request support for a family in our community who has been facing significant challenges this year. A devoted grandmother is currently caring for four young children, one of whom has autism & is receiving support services to help manage behavioral and developmental concerns. The children’s mother has recently returned to the children’s lives & the family has been working diligently to create a stable, supportive, & nurturing environment for the children. Outdoor play is an important part of the children’s daily routine, for all the children, but especially for one child who uses it as a coping mechanism. Unfortunately, their lawnmower recently broke, & the grass has grown too tall for safe and comfortable play. The grandmother has made efforts in trying to cut the grass with a pair of scissors, but it’s causing more physical issues with her back. Due to the overgrown grass, the children are now spending most of their time indoors, which has been difficult for them. I am reaching out to see if there is any assistance available to provide this family with a functioning push lawnmower so the children can once again enjoy their time outdoors. Any support would be deeply appreciated. This simple tool would make a meaningful difference in the daily lives of this family & help them continue creating a safe, happy space for their children. Thank you for considering this request, and please feel free to reach out with any questions or to coordinate support.
