Christ Community Brookside

Single mother of 2 is working very hard to find stable housing and work while also uninsured. One of the two children has been bullied at school for the clothes that she wears. The bullying has been relentless, to the point of daughter wanting to self-harm. The daughter is in safe hands. Clothes for the daughter are hard to find, as in age appropriate and in her style in sizes 2X. A gift card to any clothing places that has her size would help take a burden off of mom's shoulder and empower her daughter to feel more confident in choosing her clothes. Thank you for considering helping this family.

A single mother and two female toddlers ages 2 and 4 are looking to move into a new home in a safer neighborhood than where they are currently residing. The mother has worked very hard in maintaining employment and even purchased a vehicle to help her transport her children to daycare and maintain her girls' relationship to their biological father. The mother has asked for assistance in a first-month's deposit to move out in June as her lease is ending the end of May. She is needing the community's help in this matter to ensure safer and better lives for her two little girls. Any amount would significantly help this family, as they are also very close to being released of jurisdiction and reunifying.

A mother of four wonderful girls is working on her reintegration case plan tasks diligently. She has worked to get appropriate housing for herself and the kids, and is at risk of losing the housing due to back rent. She owes $1000 in back rent, and has paid off over half, and needs assistance in paying off the rest. Any financial assistance, no matter the amount, is appreciated and a blessing!

I am reaching out to request support on behalf of a single mother in our community who is in need of a queen-sized mattress. This hardworking mom is raising two young children and doing her best to provide a safe and stable environment for her family. Currently, she is without a proper bed and has been sleeping on the floor or couch to ensure her children are as comfortable as possible. A queen mattress would give her the opportunity to get the rest she truly deserves and continue caring for her children with the strength and energy they depend on. A donated mattress would be more than just a piece of furniture—it would represent dignity, comfort, and care for a mother doing everything she can for her family under difficult circumstances. Thank you so much for considering this request. If needed, I can help arrange pickup or delivery.

This courageous family has bravely escaped a situation of domestic violence and has found refuge away from the father. However, they are starting anew with virtually nothing in their new home. The children are in dire need of clothing, hygiene products, and blankets; they currently have very few of these essentials. The youngest child has a pack n play, but the family is sleeping on the floor. They are without formula and diapers, but I am reaching out to secure these necessities for them. Unfortunately, they have no food, with only some rice and bottled water available, along with a pastry box gifted from grandma, who recently traveled from Jordan to support her daughter.

Transportation is a challenge for them, and they primarily speak Arabic. Their needs are urgent, and I am committed to opening an FCS case to assist this family with food stamps, WIC, domestic violence services, and more. Together, we can help them find the support they deserve during this difficult time.

Bio Mom is needing to attend a driving school (Learn 2 Drive KC) that will help her get her driver license so that she can transport her children to school, medical appointments, and ABA therapy. The school consist of 3 driving lessons, and each class is 2 hours. The cost is $680 including pickup and drop off in the Kansas City area.

I have a mother that is moving into her own apartment in a couple of weeks and she is in need of a couple items. She has started overnights and we will be moving towards trial home visits this summer. She has overcome her addiction and making such amazing progress.

I have a mother that has had to miss work for the past two weeks due to a sick child at home. As a result she has fallen behind financially with paying her rent.

A single mother with 5 children struggle has mental health issues and is unable to work. The single mother is needing assistance paying for her security deposit to move into her new home.

This young family just welcomed their baby girl one week ago. Mom was unable to work during her pregnancy, and Dad is doing his best to support the family on a single income. They've managed to gather a few baby items, but their little one is still too small to fit into most of the 0–3 month clothing they have (which is very little)

They're hoping for some help with newborn-sized clothes and 0-3 month if possible, to keep their baby warm and comfortable in these early days. Your support would mean more than just clothing — it would lift a bit of the weight they're carrying and remind them that they’re not alone. Meeting this need would bring comfort, relief, and encouragement to two loving parents doing their best for their brand-new daughter.
