Single mother of a youth who recently lost her job, denied unemployment and new to obtaining public benefits. Her mental health is taking a toll on her and is connecting to mental health supports. She is currently overdrawn in her accounts and starting to fall behind with her bills. She needs assistance with paying her electric bill in the amount of $58.00. This assistance will allow her to continue her focus on finding gainful employment.

Hi! I am currently working with a family who has two of the sweetest little girls I have ever met. The girls were removed about a year ago due to ongoing concerns of substance usage in the home. The girls are currently with a kinship placement who has been providing for them without the financial support of either parent as they do not contribute much to the kids in terms of their needs. Both girls will be starting at the same school in August and they are in desperate need of all things school and school supplies related (backpack, lunch box, pencils, markers, paper, ext.). One will be going into kindergarten and the other will be going into 2nd grade. I am really hoping to alleviate some stress and help out the placement provide to ensure that the girls have everything they need to start school in August. Any help would be greatly appreciated whether it be through a gift card to allow the girls to pick out what they want or someone who would like to spend some time doing some back to school shopping for the girls. Thank you for all the support and love that you all pour into the families we work with!

Grandparents took in their grandchildren as a last minute request so they had little time to prepare. The kids are 4 and 8 years old, and did not come with much clothing, so they're in need of clothes for the summertime. If they could get help with a giftcard to purchase clothing, that would be so appreciated. They shop at Walmart, Target, Kohls, Ross etc. Any help with any amount and store is greatly appreciated!

A 15yr old female who has been abused, abandoned, and separated from siblings, struggles with her self-worth. She was in a group home setting for the past 3 years. This week she learned her mother was arrested and will be in prison for the remainder of her childhood. She has moved to a foster family and this foster family sees how this adolescent will process her hurts through music. She is requesting a keyboard so she can start to play her own music and process her hurts, her pain, and her fears in this avenue. Foster parents are looking to set her up with piano lessons that will assist in a therapeutic manner. For the piano lesson details, this teen will need an 88 key keyboard that is weighted or semi-weighted. She and this family will be grateful for your support in providing the tool that will support self-worth and processing of hard. We are hoping this tool (the keyboard) will bring joy to this teen's heart.

A youth moved in with her paternal aunt's home as the youth has a lot of mental health concerns that were not being taken serious in her father's home. Additionally, the home is considered a hoarder's home and the youth did not have a safe, appropriate place to sleep. Youth's aunt stepped up and offered to care for her as she knows how important it is for the youth to receive mental health support and live in a clean, safe environment. The aunt moved out of her bedroom to give to her niece so her niece has a her own room and safe space. The only thing the family requested is a tall dresser for the youth to be able to put her clothes and items in.

We are working with a caring grandmother who is taking care of her grandchildren full time, but she was diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy. As a result of the therapy she is losing her hair, and it is causing her a lot of emotional distress, since she is not able to afford a wig. Helping her to feel dignified will make a significant difference in her life and will add to her emotional well-being and also that of her grandchildren.

I am reaching out on behalf of a family in need of support. The family consists of a devoted elderly woman who adopted her niece as a baby, stepping in to provide love and stability when the child was at risk of entering the foster care system. Now a teenager, this young woman is preparing to begin her senior year of high school—grieving the recent loss of her father while continuing to thrive academically. Despite the challenges they face, the teen has maintained straight A’s and has her heart set on attending Louisiana State University to pursue a career in forensics. She would be the first in her family to graduate from high school and attend college—an extraordinary milestone made possible by her resilience and her adoptive mother’s unwavering support. Due to her age, the adoptive mother is unable to work and lives on a very limited income, making it difficult to manage the growing expenses of senior year. However, she is determined to give her daughter the full experience she’s earned so she can feel the pride and joy of her accomplishments. I am requesting a $150 Visa gift card to help cover some of these expenses, including school supplies, a senior ring, and graduation items. This support would not only help ease a financial burden but would also be a meaningful investment in a young woman’s future and a celebration of all she has achieved.
