Help Strengthen a Bio Family
I have had a mother reach out in need of assistance with digging her family out of hole. Mom and Dad have 4 children. Mom works full time, however Dad has been unable to stay employed since he was diagnosed with a rare kidney disease. Dad has not had trouble getting jobs, however he has been let go by every employer he has had, due to his healthcare needs. They have applied for disability, and they are currently waiting to hear back from Social Security.
The family has gotten behind on all of their bills, mainly their mortgage and car payment.
The mortgage company has been very kind to work with them, and their mortgage is now due on July 1st.
They are 3 months behind on the car payment, which is $350/month.
This sweet family would appreciate any assistance that you would offer. THANK YOU

Client lives in Lynchburg with her 3 children. She is currently out of work until the end of May when she begins her job. Her husband is currently incarcerated. Although she starts her job next week, it will be a few weeks before she gets paid. She really needs assistance with her car and rental insurance, which is due on 5/20 or she will lose her insurance policy. She also could use some help with food! Thank you for any help you can provide to this mother!

Single mother of child under a year-old needs financial assistance with her vehicle tags and registration. She recently purchased the vehicle and since has had to make several repairs to it as it has had several different mechanical issues. This mother is currently enrolled in a recovery court program for substance use challenges and relies heavily on having a vehicle for transportation and participation in the program. She also as previously stated has a small child so reliable and legal transportation is a must here as well. She has been able to try to manage all the repairs herself which has left her with little income. Other financial resources have been exhausted with little success. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Single mom with three children, ages 18, 16, and 2. The oldest two children have Autism, ADHD, and Intellectual/Developmental disability diagnoses, and therefore will continue to need her care into their adult years. Mom was diagnosed with Lupus two years ago and has been in and out of the hospital the last few months due to Lupus flare-ups. She is on disability because her Lupus has been so intense it prevents her from working. On top of that, she lost her biggest support system - her mom - to cancer two years ago. This mom is trying so hard to care for her two older sons' behavioral and emotional needs, as well as make sure her two year old has everything he needs as well. She is kind and loving and attentive to her children's needs, and has been through so much with her health and personal losses in life. It would mean so much to her if we could help her with sourcing a couch as she does not currently have any living room furniture. She also mentioned that she would love to have a set of curtains to cover her window for privacy, as the blinds are broken. She stated that she knows that a couch is a big expense and a lot to ask of anyone to provide, and has asked me to express her gratitude for any and all help.

I am working with a mother, father , and their newborn son who have just recently obtained their own apartment. The home is minimally furnished, and they are living off one income and unable to obtain the rest of their furniture. They only have sleeping arrangements for themselves and their son. Anything else that could be donated or gifted to them, they would greatly appreciate and would help them achieve stability.

I am working with a single mom and her 4 sons ages 19, 18, 15, and 12. This mom is working hard to take care of her boys but has recently experienced a death in her family, two house fires, and a serious car wreck. These events have all significantly affected her ability to work, their housing situation, family's functioning and resources. This family is currently living in a home without electricity and is having great difficulty securing it. The mom has done her research on the steps required to get electricity in her home, but due to being unemployed because of the wreck, she is lacking the finances to supply it. The overall cost for an electrician visit, invoice, permit, and electricity box will equal to around $200.
Also, this family is need of a queen sized bedframe and clothing for her sons. The sons sizes are as follows: 1st son: 36 or large in pants, large in shirts, size 9.5 in shoes 2nd son: 36 or large in pants, large in shirts, 9 in shoes 3rd son: 31/32 or large in pants, large in shirts, 9 in shoes 4th son: 31/21 or medium in pants, medium shirts, 9.5 shoes
I would love to provide this family with a bedframe, clothing for the boys, and financial assistance for their electricity. If you are able to help with any of these, please reach out! Thank you for partnering with us as we support the families of Lynchburg!

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

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 :)
