Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Single mother of 8 is currently needing help with underwear and socks for her children. Mother recently had a baby that has some medical issues and she is not working at the moment. Sizes are 16, 8 and 5 for the boys and girls size 6. She has minimal support system and could benefit from someone reaching out to her as well. She has also noticed a couple of roaches recently in her home and would like to get roach traps or spray.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

I am currently serving a Kinship/Adoptive mom caring for her 10-year-old son. Due to a recent injury, the mother is preparing for emergency surgery and needs temporary care for her 10-year-old son during her recovery (about one week). The surgical process starts July 3rd. He’s a bright and curious child with several diagnoses, including ADHD, High Functioning Autism, PTSD, DMDD, and Tourette’s. (There are more details, as he is a complex child, that will be shared with those who are considering hosting). He communicates well but may stutter or cough when explaining things, however, patience helps him feel heard and supported.

There have been past challenges with aggression toward his adoptive mom, but he just started intensive in-home counseling, which will continue through the week and can offer added support to the host family. He also attends a summer schooling program, that will provide support during weekdays.

The family would be grateful for a compassionate family or individual who can provide a calm, safe, and understanding environment while his mother recovers. If this is something you or your church community might be able to help with, please reach out for more details. We are grateful for blessing this family however you are able!

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

The girl, who is 16 years old, has experienced frequent transitions between foster homes and relative placements throughout her life. We are actively supporting her in maintaining regular school attendance, as she faces challenges related to social anxiety and behavioral concerns. She is currently residing with a relative for a short period, tho she is planning to get custody and due to her recent mobility, she has limited clothing and underwear available. While she is making progress—attending summer school and preparing to begin a life skills program—she would greatly benefit from any assistance with clothing and personal items.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

A family of six is currently experiencing significant hardship and is in urgent need of assistance with obtaining cell phones and food. The parents of four daughters are currently homeless and lack access to a phone, which severely limits their ability to communicate with service providers, DSS, and other community resources. The communication barrier has prevented their ability to receive the support they need, however, with consistent communication the family can be provided more effective assistance.

Additionally, the family does not have access to food or water on days when community resources are unavailable. They also do not have transportation at this which has further hindered their situation.

Despite these obstacles, the family has demonstrated initiative by actively seeking out available resources and has clearly expressed a strong desire for help in order to be available for their children. Fulfillment of these needs will empower these parents to move forward in their goals and improve their well-being.

It is noted that two phones would be helpful, however, one will suffice if necessary.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

A family is in urgent need of home security cameras to help ensure safety and support efforts to bring their child back home. Having security cameras installed will provide crucial evidence and peace of mind, aiding the family and authorities in their efforts to reunite safely with their child. Any assistance you can offer—whether through donating cameras or funding—would be deeply appreciated. The cameras will need access to Wifi.
