His Littlest Blessings

A mom, 35 weeks into her pregnancy, came into our center last week. She shared that she needs help getting items for her baby as she does not have anything right now. This morning, she reached out to let me know that she has been scheduled to deliver her baby within the week. Currently, she needs a car seat so that she can bring her baby home safely.

Unfortunately, we do not have the capacity to offer her a car seat right now. She does not have a church community to share this need with. I let her know that I would reach out to the local churches in the area to see if anyone would be able to help.

When we purchase infant car seats, we purchase this specific one from Walmart: Go To Link We have found them to be cost effective. Before tax, it is $117.00.

This specific car seat does not need to be purchased, it is simply our recommendation. Please, do not offer a used car seat.

Daughter is in a foster home in foster care. Mom and daughter were supposed to have a visit today, 7/14/25, to celebrate the daughter turning 8 years old yesterday. The mom suffered an unexpected tooth injury and had to cancel the visit due to pain and seeking medical help. Mom had saved $40 for her daughters birthday but had to spend that $40 on the medical help and/or pain medication. Mom and daughter are having a make-up visit tomorrow, 7/15/25, at a park. We are asking for gifts for the daughter- she is into drawing and arts and crafts. She would like an art set, a sketchbook and an age-appropriate craft. We are also asking for cupcakes and candles. It will just be the two of them, so just a few cupcakes or small birthday cake with paper goods would be sufficient. Thank you for helping make this little girls birthday, extra special.

A single mom of 4 is needing assistance with baby proofing items. This mom has her hands full and has been struggling to get settled into her new apartment and keeping up with the house. She recently moved into a new apartment and has been waiting for them to fix her dishwasher which has increased the time it takes to clean up the kitchen. Mom currently does not have any baby proofing items except for a big playpen, but the baby often cries if mom needs to put him in there to clean, cook, etc. This family is needing either a $135 Walmart giftcard to purchase the needed items or 1 baby gate with a door, a pack of plug protectors and 28 adhesive locks for drawers and cabinets (2 12-packs and 1 4-pack).

Client is a single mother who has recently secured stable housing after experiencing a period of housing instability. She is a dedicated parent to five young children and is working hard to create a safe and nurturing home for her family. As she settles into her new space, she is in urgent need of basic furniture to make the home more livable and comfortable. Specifically, we are requesting two couches and three dressers to help meet her family’s immediate needs. Any support, whether through donations of gently used items or connections to resources, would be deeply appreciated. Providing this family with the essentials will go a long way in helping them feel safe, stable, and at home.

A parent living on a little income with next to no discretionary funds, could use help with gasoline card (maybe an OnCue or Casey's) to help the parent participate in transporting his child as the case is nearing Trial Reunification and coparenting.

I am reaching out to share the inspiring story of one of our residents, a dedicated single mother who is determined to improve her life and secure a better future for her daughter through education and professional development.

This remarkable mom has been diligently juggling her part-time job, parenting responsibilities, and her studies as she works toward obtaining certification in her field. This mom fell just one point short of securing a free voucher that would have covered the cost of her main certification exam. Currently, her part-time job provides enough to meet her daily expenses, including car payments and insurance. Unfortunately, the cost of the certification exam exceeds $600, which she cannot afford out-of-pocket at this time.

By providing financial assistance for this exam, you would not only help her achieve her immediate goal of obtaining certification but also enable her to pursue a career she is truly passionate about.

To gain certification, she must first become a member of the AACP, which requires a membership fee of $222, in addition to a $399 voucher for the exam. We believe that investing in her future will create a ripple effect, positively impacting her daughter's life and setting a powerful example of perseverance and dedication. Your support could make a transformative difference in their lives.

Thank you for considering this request for assistance on behalf of this deserving single mom.
