A family is in need of immediate assistance. The family consist of mother, father and five beautiful children ages 15, 10, 8, 13 and a newborn. This family has experienced some financial hardships over the past several months. The mother just had her baby and was out on maternity leave. The father hasn’t had stable work and has been in between jobs. As a result, this family has gotten behind on their bills. This family doesn’t have any other financial support from family or friends as they have been struggling financially themselves. This family has sought financial assistance by contacting other resources but they were unsuccessful. This family is now facing eviction and the court hearing is tomorrow. This family is in need of $2,139. This family has done their best to maintain their other bills and get caught up on their rent. This family was making partial payments but now the full amount is required. This family has expressed worry and fear of getting evicted and not being able to provide for their children. We know this is a huge financial ask and we're not trying to put burdens on an individual who is willing to contribute to this family. However, if those who are willing to contribute can ban together as a community to help fulfill this request, this family would be grateful. Thank you for any assistance you're able to provide for this family.

Please consider helping a mother and father with a new convertible car seat for their baby. Today is their baby girl's first birth day and she is in need of a bigger car seat. The parents have been progressing in their case and have been able to move to unsupervised family time with their daughter. They are also transporting her during their family time together. They were previously able to use the foster parents' car seat and were not prepared to have to buy a new one just yet. A new car seat is a big expense for them as they do not have much money. Thank you for your consideration.

I’m currently working with a family that consists of a single mother with five children ages 7 years old and younger. This mom recently started a new job and fell behind on her rent while in between jobs. She was also making large payments toward a debt she owed to avoid garnishment. This single mother agreed to a settlement for this debt that required her to pay a certain amount with the balance being written off. She has reached out to multiple resources provided to her but has been unsuccessful with receiving assistance. This mother needs assistance to help her family remain in their home. She stated with assistance she’ll be able to maintain her rent moving forward. The monthly rent is $1200, the outstanding balance is $2750, but any amount will be greatly appreciated.

We are in the process of reunifying a mother and her young daughter. This little girl has not been in custody for very long, but her mother has committed herself fully to changing the conditions that brought her into custody in order to bring her daughter home. As this mom is without a driver's license or vehicle, we have provided her with a bus pass to assist with transportation. In order to assist further, this mom has requested a bicycle to use for independent transportation as well. This request is for a bicycle with a basket for an adult woman. Any help is greatly appreciated! This request can be fulfilled via donation as well, we do not need a brand new bicycle. If anyone has a spare that would fit an adult woman (about 5 foot 5 inches tall), that would work as well!

We are looking to reunify a mother and her daughter early next week. This child has not been in custody for very long, but her mother has committed herself fully to changing the conditions that brought her into custody in order to bring her daughter home.

Please help a mom with young girls get to her appointments needed to create safety for her family so she can keep her children home with her, and prevent the need for them going to a foster home.
