Mcdowell Mountain Community Church

The mother just relocated from North Carolina to Phoenix, Arizona, with her sister. She was a victim of a domestic violence dispute. She was able to get away, obtained an order of protection, and relocated to Arizona to ensure her and her child's safety. Since she had to travel across state lines, she has very minimal baby supplies and is in need of more. She will also be referred by the Department to other community services since she is new to Arizona. The mother traveled and was not able to bring only limited items. She needs a bassinet, baby bottles, diapers size 4, wipes, she would like a car seat and clothing is a size 12 months.

The household is Mother, her 7 children, and 1 child that was placed with her. She is fictive kin for the child. The Mother is looking to get a twin size bed for the child and some bedding for him. He is 13 years old. There is no preference on anything.

Mother just got her apartment and is in need of new furniture and kitchen supplies! Mother is asking for all the help that she can get to make the house feel more like a home and when she is reunified with her child, she wants to make sure the home is all set up and made to feel comfortable.

Currently, the family is just moving into their new apartment. The family was needing housing to finally start the reunification process with their children. The family also has a new baby that was not brought into care. Currently, 3 of the children are placed in foster care. The family would be eligible for overnight visits in the near future if they are able to get the furniture needed. Please reach out with any questions.

Mother moved into a home with only beddings and needs living room and dinning room furniture.

A single mother of two teenagers recently moved to Phoenix from Oklahoma city. She moved to help provide for her family and get access to more services for her daughter with behavioral health needs. The mom works full time to meet her child's needs but has been unable to afford needed furniture for home and her children. Her daughter struggles with mental health needs and behavioral outbursts. The mom has been had her enrolled with multiple behavioral health services and is focused on her needs when she is not working. The mom has a strong connection with both children and tries to prioritize spending time with them and having fun wit them when she is off from work. This family is in need of a couch and a dinning table as well as a bed for herself. The home they are staying in is currently unfurnished with only a bed for each child.

This single mother has three little ones and one on the way. She has all girls, but now her unborn son is near and she does not have any baby items or boy clothing. She has a part-time job, she lives in section 8 housing. She is trying to meet her children's basic needs while meeting their medical needs. Her youngest is diagnosed with Turner Syndrome, which requires medication and doctor visits. Mom comes up short on the bill due to having to take off work for doctor appointments. Mother expressed just needing some starter items for her newborn baby.

She is in need of diapers size 1 and wipes, a stroller, and a car seat. Mother is in need of baby pacifiers, baby bottles. Mom stated the baby is measuring big already, she would need clothing as well, may 0-3 months. Also, a bassinet will be helpful, DCS involvement may not be involved when the baby is born.

Family recently moved into a new place after being homeless and living in a motel room. The family is in need of beds, living room furniture, and dishes. The family is in a three bedroom. Parents are in need of a Queen/King size bed and bedframe. The children are in need of two twin beds and bedframe. The family also need bedding for each room. Family is also requesting dressers for each room, two for larger bedroom due to parents sharing room with the two toddlers.

This family of six, including both parents and four children, are in need of three dressers for the children. Parents were previously involved in an out-of-home case with the Department years ago; however, they have been clean and sober for 7 years. The family has an open in-home services only case with the Department to ensure the children's needs continue to be met. One of the four children has an Oppositional Defiance Disorder diagnosis, which parents currently have them in therapy for to address; however, the child has damaged some furniture in the past when their ODD diagnosis wasn't fully addressed. These three dressers, for three out of the four children, would help ensure the children's rooms can be clean, organized and decluttered; the children having an organized and decluttered bedroom would help ensure school mornings can run more smoothly as well.

This is a family of 3, 1 child and two adults. The family is currently struggling financially as both mother and father are currently unemployed. Father is not able to work because of his physical health and mother recently lost her job. Mother is actively looking for jobs but has not found one yet. The parents are requesting assistance to obtain a cleaning service to help them clean their entire apartment. The parents have tried cleaning but find themselves back at the beginning and need professional assistance. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this, any help is very much appreciated. The Department has obtained a service quote from Neat N Tidy for $500. Thank you if you can help!

Let’s Support a Brave Young Mother and Her Baby Boy

We have an opportunity to come alongside a 16-year-old mother who recently gave birth to a healthy baby boy, now just two weeks old. She is doing her very best to care for her son, despite facing this journey without the support of the baby’s father.

She’s taking positive steps—attending parenting classes at a local pregnancy resource center—and is deeply committed to providing a safe, nurturing environment for her baby.

This young mom could use some help with a few essentials to care for her little one. If you feel led to give, here are some items she needs:

Changing table Infant toys (for a baby boy) Gift card for baby food Car booster seat Newborn clothes Baby blankets Baby plate set

Every item, big or small, will make a meaningful difference in the life of this young mother and her child. Thank you for considering how you might help support her as she begins this new chapter with courage and love. 💙

Mother is a remarkable single parent who tirelessly cares for her three children: a spirited 15-year-old, an adventurous 12-year-old, and a precious 1-year-old. In addition to her own children, she also embraces the role of a grandparent, sharing her home with her 15-year-old's infant. Recognizing the importance of education, she has graciously stepped in as the primary caregiver for her grandchild, allowing the young mom to focus on her studies and work towards her goals. However, the weight of these responsibilities has taken a toll on Mother. Mother may benefit for the following: a baby gate, baby shampoo, baby lotion, baby clothing in size 2T for both genders, Baby socks, medication (Infants) for fevers or minor colds, blankets, A 4 chair dining table, toilet paper, towels for both babies and adults, and lastly, mother could benefit from public transportation to ensure she has the means to attend on any pediatrician visits for each child.
