A loving grandparent has been caring for her 8-year-old granddaughter that was recently attacked by a dog back in March 2025, which caused her granddaughter to lose an eye. The child has undergone surgeries and multiple doctor's visits to get the treatment she needs. Grandmother is trying to work as many hours as possible but with the many trips to appointments she has only been able to work a day or two a week. This is causing her to lose the income that she is used to living on and falling behind on her expenses. Currently she is behind two months on rent ($750/month), two months on her car loan ($659/month), her AES is $374, and her CenterPoint is behind at $300. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

A single mother and her two children are currently staying in a hotel after an electrical fire displaced them from their rental home, which they had just moved into in April. While the Red Cross and her insurance covered the first four nights, insurance is now making it difficult to extend their stay. Their current room is only covered until 11 AM today.

The mother has appointments with apartment complexes this week but needs temporary housing in the meantime. We’re seeking help to cover one additional week at the hotel, which is offered to her at a discounted rate of $109 per night. The total cost for 7 nights is $763. Any support to help keep this family safely housed during this difficult transition is deeply appreciated.

A loving grandmother welcomed her two-year-old grandchild into her home along with her four other children.

Any assistance to help this family get into a better home and provide them with the essentials they need would be beneficial in a stable home for all the children.

A mother of two children that works full time has gotten behind on rental assistance. She owes $380, and if not paid, there will be a $100 late fee as of tomorrow May 6th.

Single mother of two children under the age of four years old is in need of deposit assistance. This mother was historically involved with the children's biological father who was physically abusive towards her. She often would not follow through with the TPO process, until January 2025. Mother successfully obtained a TPO for herself and her children in January 2025. She has minimal support in Dayton, Oh, therefore she is moving to Columbus, Oh to be near her father and brother for the safety and support of herself and her children. She has gained an emergency transfer of her Section 8 vouchers. She has also been approved for more than half of the deposit amount from Artemis. She is still in desperate need of $600 to make up the difference of the deposit of $1775.00.

A loving family opened their home and adopted four children and have three biological children. The family is desperate to increase security measures throughout their home as they work through significant behavioral challenges with one of their adoptive children. This would provide the family with peace of mind when they cannot have eyes in all areas of their home. They need two cameras at $225/each and a $75 installation fee with a total of $525. Assistance with the funding of the cameras would help give the family the ability to move quickly and allow their funding to be more allocated to their children's care.
