A loving grandmother and her 4-year-old granddaughter are in need of rental assistance in the amount of $3,074 or they will be at risk of eviction. Grandma had lost her job earlier this year and as a result fell behind on rent. She has since found a new job and is confident she will be able to stay on top of rent moving forward. However, she needs help getting caught up. If you can help with a portion of this balance it would make a huge difference for this family. thank you!

Mom's budget is tight and the boys broke their beds playing WWE. They are well taken care of and play well with other kids in the neighborhood. Any bed will do, but a metal bed frame may prove more durable.

A loving grandparent has been caring for her 8-year-old granddaughter that was recently attacked by a dog back in March 2025, which caused her granddaughter to lose an eye. The child has undergone surgeries and multiple doctor's visits to get the treatment she needs. Grandmother is trying to work as many hours as possible but with the many trips to appointments she has only been able to work a day or two a week. This is causing her to lose the income that she is used to living on and falling behind on her expenses. Currently she is behind two months on rent ($750/month), two months on her car loan ($659/month), her AES is $374, and her CenterPoint is behind at $300. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

A single mother and her two children are currently staying in a hotel after an electrical fire displaced them from their rental home, which they had just moved into in April. While the Red Cross and her insurance covered the first four nights, insurance is now making it difficult to extend their stay. Their current room is only covered until 11 AM today.

The mother has appointments with apartment complexes this week but needs temporary housing in the meantime. We’re seeking help to cover one additional week at the hotel, which is offered to her at a discounted rate of $109 per night. The total cost for 7 nights is $763. Any support to help keep this family safely housed during this difficult transition is deeply appreciated.

A loving grandmother welcomed her two-year-old grandchild into her home along with her four other children. She was recently approved for a better housing option but is falling short on the deposit to hold their spot.

Any assistance to help this family get into a better home and provide them with the essentials they need would be beneficial in a stable home for all the children.
