Critical Request
A young couple with a 2-month-old is working through some challenging times. Unfortunately, the husband is trying to find employment and the couple is behind. Their utility bill is past due $300 and is an urgent need. In addition, the couple would like any support with advice regarding issues with their landlord and helping find a sponsorship for husband's citizenship. Help with this request will strengthen this family. Most importantly, having guidance as a young married couple will be significant as well.

Lynchburg City Schools is in need of 15 belts for male students to wear during the school day. Some students do not own a belt or may have forgotten to put one on. While a belt does help to complete the school outfit requirements, having a belt is also a way to avoid the fashion trend of teenagers wearing their pants with the waistline above the hips. Support in this endeavor will allow students and teachers to start the school day without further distractions or delays. (3 belts size Small, 5 belts size Medium, 5 belts size Large, and 2 belts size XL)

We have an 11 month old child and their twin brother who is placed with a relative. They are in need of a double stroller so that they can push both children around at the same time. We feel that this device will be helpful for the child, and want to make the relative placement successful so they can continue to remain in a relative home with each other

Normal Request
This family of six, Mom, daughter aged 16, daughter aged 15, twin sons aged 14, and a daughter aged 5. The family is involved with CPS due to lack of supervision, truancy, and unmet mental health needs of the children. The 14 year old boys have significate behavior issues and have broken at least one window in the home, Mom is scared to get the landlord involved in fixing the window as she doesn't want to be put out. The home is poorly insulated and she has asked the land lord about insulating as she is getting $1000 electric bills monthly but he is unwilling to do anything. One of the twins is currently living in Bedford with his aunt but he was just suspended for 10 days for threatening his teacher, so he may be returning home soon and has no bed to sleep in when he does return. Mom has her hands full and has been very open to guidance to improve things in her family. The oldest girls are attending school more regularly and I am working on getting everyone's mental health needs addressed. Only the oldest daughter has a dressed and none of the children have anywhere to put their clothing.

Two teenage children and the mother need some extra help with food and gas. Mom recently got her children back in her home and would love help with some groceries with a Walmart gift card or Aldi gift card and a QuikTrip gift card for mom and one for the daughter. Mom works two jobs to get by and her daughter just graduated high school and is working full-time. They need gas money to help to visit with dad and grandma and go to work. The son is attending school far from their home and that takes more gas money too. The family would appreciate extra groceries and any extra help you can provide. Thank you for all you do!

An aunt of a 17-year-old female is trying very hard to become placement of her niece. She is moving out of her own room to allow the niece to have it and only needs a twin-size mattress for her niece to be placed with her. As soon as she has a mattress, this child who has struggled in many foster homes will be reunited with a family member who is loving and supportive of her. Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

Mom is working to have her children return home. One of the conditions is to ensure that the children have beds to sleep in. I am requesting two twin beds and mattresses for boys and a twin mattress. Mom did not request bedding but it seems that she may benefit from bedding as well. The children also need dressers for the clothes and hangers for the closets. At this time her gas has also been turned off due to her work hours being decreased.

This is a big ask, but I feel it's worth trying for this family. Mom and Dad have been together since they were teenagers, they both grew up in poverty and Mom's mother had Huntington's and has since passed away. They both have some family for support, but it's limited. There are five children a girl aged 13, a boy aged 11, a boy aged 8, a boy aged 7 and a girl aged 2. Dad works full time but does not make enough to pull the family out of poverty and Mom suffers from depression, which is how I believe the situation with the children's teeth got so bad. All five children have rotting teeth, which is why CPS is involved. The middle son's been in constant, severe pain that caused him to have emotional and behavior outbursts at school, eventually leading to him standing on the top of a second floor stairwell railing attempting to jump off to end his life, he has since been expelled from school. The children have been sent to live with family and the family lost their home shortly after and all beds. The middle son currently lives with his paternal grandmother who reported he cried all night because his teeth hurt so badly that she offered to pay out of pocket for his dental care. The children have never had their own beds and have always had to share with each other, and were confused at the idea of having their own beds. Mom and Dad are doing everything they can to reach reunification. They have found a home but it is being cleaned of black mold.
