First Red Oak

I am requesting assistance for a mother of four children who is rebuilding her life after domestic violence in the home. She has one daughter, age 7, and three sons, ages 7, 6, and 3. The family is in need of bunk beds and a twin size bed for the boys, who share one room, as well as dressers for both the boys’ room and the daughter’s room. Additionally, the mother is in need of basic household items, specifically pots, pans, and new dishes, to help create a stable and functional home. Providing these items would greatly support this family as they work toward a fresh start and a safe, nurturing environment for the children. Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

A grandmother living in Glenn Heights (Ellis County) with her three year old granddaughter was in an automobile accident during a rain storm that caused her to break two vertebrae in her spine and fracture her ribs. Her car was totaled, She is a CNA, but has been unable to work as she is recovering from her accident. She is in need of $300 to cover her utility payment. We are asking a church to be a blessing to her and see that her utility bill is paid.

This a single mother with three children that are female age 10, Female age 4, and male age 17. The family moved to an apartment and the children are in need of beds. The beds would help the mom that is currently not working, but going to school. The help would help the family financially and they would appreciate it.

We are currently working with a dedicated young woman, age 18, who is doing everything she can to support and stabilize her family. She is hoping to gain custody of her younger siblings (ages 15, 16, and 13) because she feels their mother, who is currently unemployed, is not in a position to properly care for them. She has already taken on many of the responsibilities of caring for them and wants to provide them with a more stable and healthy environment.

She was previously employed and regularly visited the food bank to help provide for her family. However, her only mode of transportation recently broke down, which led to the loss of her job and made it impossible for her to continue accessing the food bank. She is actively seeking new employment but is in urgent need of financial assistance for transportation so she can begin to rebuild stability.

In addition to financial help, she would benefit greatly from emotional and community support. She feels overwhelmed and alone in her efforts, yet she remains deeply committed to giving her siblings a better life—one free from the difficult cycle they’ve been living in.

Any assistance with transportation, job referrals, food access, or community support would make a meaningful and lasting impact.

Mother is separated from her husband due to domestic violence. The mother is living in the home with her 6 children, and she is not employed. Her husband has been taking care of the utility bills but has lost his job about 2 months ago. Parent is requesting assistance with a $116.35 water bill that has a disconnect date of 6/25/25. Also, the electric bill of $200 that is also due 6/25/25.

Mother recently gave birth to twins and is in need of one more crib and two mattresses for the twins. Mom has one crib already.

Client is a brand-new mother to a 2-week-old baby girl. She is currently co-sleeping due to lack of a crib and is concerned about her baby’s safety. Providing her with a crib would greatly increase her child’s safety and give the mother peace of mind.
