First United Methodist Church Dallas

Dallas County Permanency Court Judge Gonzales has 15 youth who have never been adopted graduating from high school this year. Some are going to college, some are staying in extended care, and some are going into the work force. We would like to provide each of them with “Launch Baskets” to support them as they enter adulthood without family supports. Each launch basket will be tailored to each youth’s specific situation and preferences and will include a Bible and items such as new bedding, kitchen and cleaning supplies, and gift cards. You can learn more at Go To Link Any donation is welcomed so we can bless these resilient youth who have already beat so many odds by graduating high school!

Good morning and Thank you Pastor Favors, thank you for the prayers and for following up to support the family. God Bless you the Church and CarePortal.

The family is a family of 7, consisting of a mother, father, and 5 children: a 17-year-old, 15-year-old, 13-year-old, 11-year-old, and 9-year-old. At this time the family is having financial barriers in providing basic needs for their children. The family would benefit from one dresser for the boys to store their clothing as well as a bunk bed for them to share. The family has mattresses and is just in need of a frame for the bunk beds. The family of 7 resides in a 2-bedroom home, so space is tight. Due to the financial barriers the family is unable to purchase a dresser and bunk bed frame. The family will appreciate any items given at this time. The following items are needed:

• 1 bunk bed frame
• 1 dresser

This family is a single parent low-income household with two intellectually and developmentally disabled children that need constant care and attention from the parent. Mother is unable to have a full-time job to have the financial ability to provide the adequate furniture that is needed in the home. Mother does not have a lot of support from the community and the school has not been favorable of the mother which limits her access to resources. Medical care for the children is expensive and she pays for it out of pocket and her family helps her financially to pay the bills for the home.

Family is need of temporary housing, mother is currently living with her child inside of her vehicle. Child is 3 yo. Mother has been displaced an is in need of temp housing for herself, child, and dog for 2 weeks until she is able to move. mother is also in need of a car battery for a 2014 Jeep Patriot

Single mother recently moved into one bedroom apartment with 8-year-old daughter. The apartment does not have much furniture, and they are both sleeping in the same bed. Assistance would help stabilize the residence and help make the apartment feel like a home for the child. The Mother is on her own in Texas and is doing her best to provide safety and wellbeing for her child but does need help. Childs favorite color is pink and loves to play with toys. Age-appropriate books would be beneficial as the child struggles with reading. Child's favorite book is the princess and the frog. Family is requesting a twin sized bed to alleviate having to sleep in the same bed, sheets and pillows for bed, a frame, a dresser, and possibly a tv for the living room.

Mom(18 years old) recently had to move out of her parents home. She is now living with some of her other family members but does not have furniture for her and her daughter(2yrs old). Mom currently does not work and the family she is staying with is very low income. She would like assistance obtaining a bedroom dresser, queen size bed frame with mattress, sheets and comforter, as well as clothing for her 24 month baby girl.

Any help is appreciated.
