This devoted great-aunt and primary caregiver to her two great-nieces, ages 12 and 8, and her nephew, age 10. In 2020, Aunt was awarded legal custody of the children after they were removed from their mother's care. Since then, she has provided them with a stable, loving home environment where they feel safe and cared for. Recently, Aunt’s refrigerator ceased functioning, and despite her best efforts to maintain perishable items at a safe temperature, she is struggling to provide the children with well-balanced meals. As a loving, family-oriented individual, she is committed to ensuring they have what they need, but this unexpected challenge has placed additional strain on her resources. We are seeking assistance in obtaining a new refrigerator to support Aunt in her caregiving role. Any help or guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for considering this request and for your continued support of families in need. Warm regards

Mom's budget is tight and the boys broke their beds playing WWE. They are well taken care of and play well with other kids in the neighborhood. Any bed will do, but a metal bed frame may prove more durable.

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 loving grandmother welcomed her two-year-old grandchild into her home along with her four other children. She was recently approved for a better housing option but is falling short on the deposit to hold their spot. She is also in need of pots, pans, towels, washcloths, lamps, a twin bed, twin bedding, underwear, socks, pull-ups and a potty-training chair. 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.
