We have a family in need of help with food. The father is currently unemployed, but is attending a class to be an electrical apprentice to gain a career and better provide for the family. Helping the family with groceries will allow them to use other funds towards rent and electricity needs.

Mom and her six children (ages 2 y/o - 13 y/o) recently fled from her abuser from El Paso to Mansfield, Texas in the middle of the night with the help of maternal grandmother. The family now resides in a 1-bedroom apartment, and they currently do not have any beds. Grandmother recently ordered a twin bed with a pullout bed on the bottom, but they do not have any mattresses. Please help get these babies off the floor and have somewhere comfortable to sleep at night by providing 2 twin mattresses, and two blow up beds. If you can also help with blankets/pillows and mattress covers as the 9-year-old has been wetting the bed. The family would also be appreciative if you can help shampoo the bedroom carpet due to the 9-year-old wetting the floor.

A mother and her two young daughters (ages 3 and 6 months) recently relocated to Collin County for safety reasons and are currently living in their car. Mom has secured a job and childcare but urgently needs gas assistance to get to work and daycare each day. Supporting this need will help the family maintain stability and move closer to permanent housing. Any help with gas cards or fuel support would be greatly appreciated.

I am reaching out on behalf of a hardworking mom of three children, ages 10, 4, and 6 months, who is doing everything she can to support her family. She recently lost her job due to the company shutting down and has been actively applying for work over the past month. While the search has been challenging, she’s starting to see progress and has received two callbacks for upcoming job interviews. She’s currently looking for full-time work in warehouse operations or as a quality assurance inspector - if you know of any openings, I would love to connect you with my client! We’re working closely together to help her get back on her feet. She shared that she’s never been someone who’s needed to ask for help, but is now humbly reaching out in hopes of receiving support. At this time, she is in urgent need of assistance with her electricity bill, which is currently past due in the amount of $215 and at risk of disconnection. This mom is incredibly resilient and determined, and any support would mean so much to her and her children as they work toward a more stable future.
