Mother who has a 2 month old and 5 year old daughter is currently facing eviction and is asking for assistance with her rent payment. Mother has been in court due to custody issues with her partner and has been left with very little support financially. Mother needs $1325 by MAY 9 in order to avoid going to court for the eviction. Mother wants to avoid eviction and remain housed with her two small children, if at all possible!

Mother is also in need of micro-preemie diapers, as her preemie daughter is still small and was recently re-hospitalized and discharged home. Even the preemie diapers that the hospital carries are too large for her daughter. Micro preemie diapers can be purchased at Amazon.com, look for Bambo Nature Hypoallergenic Dream Baby Diapers Size 0 (24 Count)

Every bit helps. Thank you so much!!

Seeking assistance to support a trial home placement of a 5 yo non-verbal autistic child. Services are limited in the area for the child & his developmental needs (non-verbal autistic) has added an extra layer of stress to the family. For the last 8 months, the parents have been traveling for services & visitation each week. The mother is stay-at-home as the child cannot be placed in daycare. She is wanting to get out in the community with the child; however, the financial strain they endured over months has made it difficult. We are seeking a variety of items to support the family. Once custody of the child returns to the parents, they will be able to access additional support like SNAP; however, they cannot do so while the child is on a trial home placement. Items needed include: baby wipes (child is not toilet trained), cleaning supplies (disinfectant, paper towels, Swiffer wet clothes, trash bags, dish detergent), toilet paper, paper plates, gas cards, sponsorship for pool pass for 2 (child and mother), and a kid's sensory body sock (he wears a child's size 10). Regarding cleaning supplies, the child often throws items around, pours things on the floor, etc., creating a significant amount of cleaning for the family. They could also use laundromat funds as their apartment does not have laundry facilities, including laundry detergent.

This family is the product of a broken marriage and subsequent move of the mother and daughter in with the elderly grandmother. This family's cell phone bill is past due. Service not only includes the cell phone for the child but also her only internet access from home which she uses to complete school work.

A single mom with three young children is currently in need of beds for her two toddlers. The whole family currently sleeps together in a queen-sized bed which is both a safety hazardous and a hinderance to their well-being as the mother is unable to sleep through the night. The family is requesting a twin-size bed/mattress for the 4-year-old and a toddler bed/mattress for the 2-year-old. Additionally, the family is in need of another dresser as the space they are staying in does not have closets causing storage to be limited. A gently used dresser would be accepted if donated.

A student is needing dental work pretty severly. The sibling just had dental work done a few months ago and the family can not afford to cover the dental work their second child is now needing.

The procedure was schedule, but the clinic would not proceed with it until the $100 from his previous appointment was paid for and the total for Phase 1 ($1,338.00) is paid. School personel has spoken with the dental office and they will not set the family up on a payment plan. Once phase 1 is done, they will then make an appointment for Phase 2, and again will not proceed with it until it is paid for ahead of time.

The proposed bill is $2,466.00 total.

Thank you for any help that can be offered with this

I am working with a young, single mother who has a son who is almost 3 years old. I am asking for help to find a fishing pole and an over the toilet potty training seat to support the child in potty training. This mother works hard to pay bills, utilities, and for food each month but is asking for assistance to support her son with these things. The boy loves animals and being outside. He especially loves to pretend play that he is fishing and the mother said that she would love to have a fishing pole for him to be able to go fishing together.

We are currently working with a family that has had chronic issues with pests in the home. The majority of these issues have been ameliorated, however, they are currently working to eradicate the presence of some roaches. They have limited financial resources available to them with which to do so. We are hoping to see if any churches or community organizations are able to help support them with the financial burden of pest control services.

A mother is in the process of moving herself and her children out of her ex-partner’s home to begin a fresh start. She is in need of essential furniture to help create a safe and comfortable new space for her family. Specifically, she is looking for beds — ideally a full-size, a queen, and a toddler bed. Additionally, any dressers, a dining table with chairs, or other household items that could support this transition would be deeply appreciated. Every contribution makes a meaningful difference during this important time of rebuilding.

She is moving beginning of June :)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A family with four children is temporarily living with other family members in a crowded living situation while they look for other housing. They are struggling with declutter due to lack of space in trailer and number of household members currently residing in the home. In order to keep the living space safe for the children, they are greatly in need of large, sturdy storage tubs with lids to work on decluttering and organization in the household to reduce safety concerns.

Mother just gave me a call that she just received a bill from Dominion Energy for $1,490.97. She said this is both an outstanding and current bill and needs any assistance on this manner. Thank you!

A family has recently undergone a house fire and lost all of their belongings. This family has specifically requested help in getting their 7 year-old daughter some new clothes and belongings. The child wears 10/12 clothes and wears shoe size 1. She will also need undergarments, socks, and any essential items- as she has lost everything.

Anything to help is appreciated.
