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!!

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 client in a DV shelter has been approved for housing through Miriam's House. She is starting over with her toddler and with nothing. She has the lease signed for the home, but is still staying at the shelter as she has no furniture. She is requesting any furniture or kitchen appliances such as kitchen table set, air fryer, microwave. She is open to many different types of household items.

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 currently working with a family of 6 who is low income and moving to a new apartment. The family's previous residence was filled with black mold due to a water leakage, they do not have most of their items due to the mold. The family is asking for assistance to help support their family.

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 :)

Hello! A grandmother recently became emergency approved as a foster parent for her 5 year old granddaughter through our agency. She is currently going through a divorce while now trying to raise her granddaughter. She is in need of a twin sized trundle bed and mattress so that the child has an appropriate place to sleep in her home. Currently the child is sleeping in her bed, and she is sleeping on the sofa. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

LCS staff have been contacted by a single mother of 2 children for assistance with groceries for the month of May. Currently, she is having to prioritize where funding go within the home and is struggling to cover all her bases.

If possible, could this family be provided with gift cards that are "grocery" specific so this is one less thing they have to juggle during the month of May.

Thank you!
