Christ's Church of the Valley (CCV) East Valley

The household is Mother and her 2 children, and Mother's boyfriend and his 2 children. The Mother is looking to get a bunk bed for her children and some bedding. The children currently share a mattress, so only one would be needed. The children are 5 and 6. There is no preference on anything.

The two boys do not have beds and are needing some; The boys are currently sleeping on the couch. At this time Mother does not have the funds to provide beds for them or the frame. She works full time and does doordash to make ends meet. Due to their room being small, bunk beds will be best. With it now being summer, the family will be in the home more. 

Mother has 6 children in total, but her oldest 3 were removed from her care & adopted out. Her littlest 3 children remain in her care, but she is diagnosed as being SMI (serious mental illness) & is unable to work. Her youngest is about to celebrate her first birthday, so she could use a crib that would be able to transition into a toddler bed for when she gets older. Mother could also use bedding for the crib & mattress.

The sister in law of this case and soon to be kinship placement for baby 1 and baby 2. Baby 1 is currently with his aunt transitioning from his placement, and Aunt has stated she is in need of diapers because she has twin one-year-olds of her own and cannot afford diapers for baby 1 and then baby 2 when she comes along. When their needs are met they will be worry free of when they will next need to purchase some more.

A Family in Need of a Lifeline

We’re reaching out on behalf of one of our client families who is facing a difficult season. The father recently lost his job, and although the mother is working full time, her income alone isn’t enough to sustain the household. Despite their best efforts, they are struggling to cover basic needs—gas, rent, and utilities—and are in urgent need of support.

This is a hardworking family that isn’t looking for a handout, but a hand up. They have been actively engaged in our parenting program, consistently attending classes and using their earned baby bucks to purchase diapers and wipes. Their commitment to growth, stability, and their children’s well-being is evident.

The mother’s love for her children is inspiring. She is currently pregnant with her third child. She has an 11 y/o daughter and 3 y/o son. She faithfully brings them to the center, including her sweet pre-teen daughter who adores her baby brother. They are doing all they can—but right now, they just need a little help to bridge the gap until the father can secure new employment.

If you feel led to help, your generosity—whether through a gas card, rental assistance, or support with utility bills—would mean the world to this family. Together, we can be the lifeline they need to move forward with hope and dignity.

Thank you for considering how you can make a difference. 💛
