Good afternoon, This family of three needs a washer and dryer. This family was homeless for six months living in a hotel; they obtained a home in January. The previous family left a washer, but it isn't operational. Mom works six days a week, and they are currently on the path to a financially sustaining life. This resource significantly contributes to that end.

There is a 13-year-old boy that would like to be reunited with his family. He currently is staying with the school secretary and is flourishing. This kid went from D and F to be on the honor roll. We would like to honor this kid and bring him dignity by getting him a twin-size bed frame, mattress, linens, blankets, and pillow. This will allow him to be reunited with his mom again. He currently visits her but would have to sleep on the floor. He's a great kid that needs a bit more assistance. Would you please consider helping?

A single mom with two children is need of rental assistance.

Two active and bright kiddos ages two and six have been placed in the care of their aunt for almost two years now. During that time their aunt has taken them in to her home and provided them with a safe, loving and stable home. The aunt is a single mom of four children of her own and has now taken on the responsibility of two additional kids. She has opened up her heart and home to allow her niece and nephew a chance to be with family instead of the children being placed in separate homes. With a total of six children in the home that range from ages 2-18 things are a little tight and the aunt needs help to provide things for them at times. The family is in need of two tall dressers to help keep the children’s clothes in. They are asking for the tall dressers that has at least 5 drawers due to limited space in the bedrooms. If you are able to help out with this need it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Young mother with a newborn needs immediate rental assistance. Mother was unable to work during her pregnancy and father was shot and killed, so she lost any other financial assistance. Mother is getting her taxes and can pay most of the difference and has a job she will be starting but her landlord has already filed eviction paperwork. The amount requested, combined with what she can pay should cover her and allow her to continue staying at her apartment.

This request impacts multiple families.

I have a family of 8 in need of an 8 passenger van. hey are willing to pay $5000 for a vehicle but that is all they can afford at this point. They have one vehicle but they currently owe more on the vehicle than it is worth and are unable to trade it in for a larger vehicle. They would like to be able to attend school, church and other events together and having a larger vehicle would allow them to do so. If you have or know of anyone willing to sell or provide this family a reliable vehicle, it would be appreciated.

We have some brand new foster parents who agreed to take newborn triplets who are just now leaving the hospital after a month. They are tiny and have had some issues due to drug exposure in-utero. They are going to be a handful - but this family lovingly and excitedly opened thier home. They are having to purchase everything in triplicate!! Car seats, clothes, blankets, bottles, binkies - you name it! The one thing they would like help with is that they need two cribs in order to be in compliance with licensing requirements... so we need these two cribs right away. Your contribution would help make these sweet baby's transition to thier first time home - comfy and cozy; and will support these foster parents in thier journey to create a loving home!

There are currently three children in care ages 4, 7 & 9. The mother and father are working very hard to get their home cleaned up. The worker has been out and they have done a good job at doing this. The home still has an odor that is believed to be coming from the furniture in the home given it's age and the belief it is soiled. We are seeking help with getting new living room furniture and a new dining room table for the family. We believe these gently used items will help reduce the smell and help us be able to reunify the children soon.
