We would like assistance with a single mother who has three children, 11. 8 and 5 years old. She has been the victim of a fire in her last residence, which has lett her with pretty much nothing. She is working, and is residing currently in Waxahachie Housing Aurhority. She needs one complete twin bed for one of her daughers, and a full box spring for her son. She really would love a church to walk alongside her. She needs love and support right now, as she tries to get her life together for her and her children. If you can help, you would be making a huge difference in this mother's life.

A 15-year-old has had braces on and was supposed to get them taken out in January. The doctor will not do this until full payment is made on the braces and the mother has been struggling to manage financially so money has not been able to be allocated to the braces payment. Her due amount is $218 and the youth will be able to get them out. She wants the braces out so she can have a comfortable feeling in her mouth again.

I’m reaching out on behalf of a single mother of four children who is in urgent need of support. She lost her husband a few years ago and has been doing her best to care for her children on her own. Recently, she was let go from her job after missing work to care for one of her children, who is very sick. She is actively searching for new employment but has not had any luck yet. With no income and no support system, she’s now struggling to keep up with her bills. Just yesterday, she received notice that her electricity will be shut off next Friday if she is unable to pay her bill. The total amount needed to prevent the disconnection is $600. Please keep this family in your prayers, and if you are able to help financially, any donation toward this $600 would be deeply appreciated to help keep their power on during this difficult time. Thank you!

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!
