We have a young, single mother of 3 children (ages 1, 4 and 5). She is experiencing unstable housing and financial stress. The mother is a victim of domestic violence and is trying to keep her children sheltered and safe from harm. The mother has been residing with the maternal grandmother in a single unit apartment with the children. The MGM put the mother and children out on yesterday and stole the mother’s food stamps from her EBT card. The mother is not able to purchase any food for herself and the children. She was able to get a room in Hollywood through PATH and is awaiting placement in a DV shelter. DCFS and the agencies involved with this family are working tirelessly to find a residence the mother and children. The mother can be reached on her cell phone and the CSW is able to correspond with the mother accordingly. We are hoping that a donor will pick up this request and provide the family with a $300.00 grocery gift card or purchase food for the family so that the mother and children do not go hungry.

We have a mother who has a six-month old baby that is teething. The mother is very resilient and is thriving with all of her programs she is involved in. She is a domestic violence survivor and is using her experience to build and grow within her life. She is in therapy to address the concerns that brought her family to the attention of the Department. She is a domestic violence survivor. She is a good mother who truly cares for her daughter. During our meetings the baby is always smiling and giggling. Recently, the baby began teething and is in need of hypoallergenic-silicon weaning cups, baby spoons, feeding set, and food making system (NutriBullet). I am in hopes that some of these items can possibly make it to her.

We are reaching out to request assistance in helping a devoted single mother cover her rent for the month. She works two jobs while caring for her 1st-grade daughter, doing everything she can to stay afloat. Despite her tireless efforts, the financial burden has become overwhelming. Help with rent would prevent housing instability and provide critical relief as she works to regain stability. Any support—big or small—would mean the world to this family. This mother exemplifies strength and perseverance. She balances long work hours with the demands of parenting, making sure her daughter has the stability and care she needs. Her daughter is bright, kind, and full of potential, and her mom is determined to give her every chance to succeed. After falling behind on utility bills, most of her recent income went toward catching up, leaving little for rent. Like many families living paycheck to paycheck, one setback has caused a ripple effect that’s difficult to recover from without help. She’s not asking for a handout but a hand up. Your support can help this mother avoid eviction, provide stability for her daughter, and offer the hope they need to keep moving forward.

Father is receiving Family Reunification services for his young son. He is requesting assistance with purchasing a Tracfone BLU View 5 pre-paid phone from Target to communicate with child, caregivers and social worker. Father is currently unemployed and is financially struggling as a single parent.

This is a father with current child welfare involvement. Father has one child that is currently released in his care. The department has informed the father that he needs two dressers in order to prevent a cluttered home environment. If father is blessed with the two dressers, it will prevent the department from having concerns in the future and allow the father to move forward with the closing of his case. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide this father and his children.

Current non-minor dependent recently moved into an apartment with his dog. He isn't able to work right now due to an injury so he is tight on cash. He needs a couch and refrigerator. He would be much more comfortable with those items and could focus on healing properly.

The family has a history of homelessness. The family just recently moved into a new apartment. Mother and the children have no furniture nor beds. The family is currently sleeping on the floor on top of blankets. Which it is very uncomfortable for the children to get a good night's rest and be prepared for school. The family does not have any couches or a dining room table. The mother will be greatly appreciative with assistance with beds or furniture for her new home, which will provide a safe and stable living home for the children. A Walmart gift card could assist with some bunkbeds or pull-out couch for the children to sleep on.

Mother and her two girls, aged 9 and 5, are starting over. There was trauma in the family, which caused the mother harm. She took advantage of therapy and this family is now living in a smaller, one bedroom unit. They are happy to have each other and would appreciate any items from their list. One of the girl's favorite color is purple and the other child likes pink and tiffany blue.

The family needs bedding, a microwave, a shower curtain/hooks, bath towels and a mini refrigerator

We have a single mother with two children (ages 2 and 1). The mother and children reside in the home of a family friend, and they are in need of full-size bed with mattress. The mother is loving to her children, and both of the children are sweet, happy, playful and active children. The mother is always making sure her daughters needs are met. The children are very attached to the mother and feel very comfortable in her presence. The mother always reciprocates her love to her children by hugging them and reassuring their feelings. Currently, the mother does not have employment and is enrolled in school with the goal to be able to financially provide for her daughters. The family is in need of a bed required to avoid co-sleeping. The mother and the two children currently sleep in a twin-size bed. The family would benefit from a full-size bed. By fulfilling this request, it would allow the mother to focus her attention on her children and her schooling/education.

Single mother is requesting clothes and shoes for herself and her son. Mom is size 2XL in shirts and prefers sweat pants and sweat shirts/sweat suits. Son is size 10-12 in clothes (needs everyday wear) and size 6 in boys shoes. Thank you for considering this request :-)
