Emporia First Church of the Nazarene

I am working with a young family due with a baby in August. They are currently living with dad's family in an attic space. Dad has been looking for a job and mom has applied for disability income. Until they have income, they are unable to move out of the attic space. In order to make the space safe for baby to come home, they need a few items. I am requesting a window AC unit, a box fan, and a small dresser for storing baby's items.

DCF is assisting a maternal Grandmother with a kinship placement. Grandma already has custody of a 2 year old grandson and getting custody of infant (1 month old) granddaughter. The toddler needs a toddler bed and bedding. The infant granddaughter needs a safe sleep space (a crib, bassinet, or play pen would be great!), a car seat, and 0-3 girl clothing, and any new born supplies like diapers, wipes, bottles, pacifiers, and formula (we can provide details on brand later, we are unsure at this moment.) Any supplies for the toddler or infant would be greatly appreciated. The infant supplies are more dire as the grandmother is getting custody of the child today.

We have a single dad working on having his baby at home with him full time. Dad has a bassinet for baby to sleep in, but is hoping to find a crib, as that will be better for the baby long term. This dad is working to hard to create change, and is very eager to have his son full time! He's surrounding himself with great supports for them both. We are so proud of his hard work!

I am working with a single mother and her teen daughter. The teen suffers from severe anxiety and has struggled with bullying in public school. The family has enrolled the teen in a home school program but is needing a tablet with keyboard or a Chromebook to begin schoolwork.
