A counselor at a local high school shared a need for a local family. The family was displaced, and did seek a motel voucher from the district. Thankfully they're back in an apartment, but the mom shared they're in need of a stove.The oldest a senior at the high school and there are two younger brothers. The family is requesting help in getting a gas stove.

I am advocating on behalf of a relative caregiver who cares for her niece and two children on her own with no outside support. Although caregiver was able to escape a DV relationship last year, she finds it difficult to navigate day-to-day life after the death of her sister and being a now single parent. She has recently obtained child care for her niece so that she can go back to work as an IHSS caregiver to better support her family and provide for their needs. Caregiver just needs a stepping stone right now to help her and her family get to where they need to be. Therefore, I kindly ask for assistance with a gift card for school clothing and shoes for the kids. They are quickly outgrowing the clothes/shoes they currently have and are in dire need of new attire. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you and God Bless!

A devoted mother of two daughters, ages 15 and 5, is currently facing the challenges of raising them on her own following the recent departure of their father. Due to financial strain, she and her daughters have had to move back in with her parents, where she now rents two bedrooms.

She had been excitedly planning a traditional quinceañera to celebrate her eldest daughter’s 15th birthday—a deeply meaningful event both culturally and personally. Unfortunately, unexpected financial hardships have put this special celebration at risk.

She is kindly seeking support to cover the essentials for the event. With your generosity, we can help lift this family’s spirits and make her daughter’s quinceañera a joyful and unforgettable milestone—just as she had hoped.

A devoted grandmother is stepping in to provide emergency care for her 1.5-year-old grandson after he was removed from his home. To prevent him from being placed in a non-family foster home, she has been asked to take him into her care immediately. The baby is the son of her eldest son, and while she is eager to welcome him, the unexpected responsibility has created a financial strain.

With two children already in her household, she is in urgent need of essential supplies for her grandson, including clothing (socks and pajamas), diapers, wipes, sippy cups, and groceries. Unfortunately, it will take 2-3 months before she receives financial assistance for his care.

DCFS is preparing to transfer the baby from San Diego to her home right away. Your kindness and generosity can help ensure that this grandmother has the support she needs to provide a stable and loving environment for her grandson during this critical time.
