This case involves a family consisting of the parents and their 5 children. The mother and father have worked very hard to provide for their family and take care of their family. The mother is a young mum with a lot of young children. She has a son who is six years old who is being tested for Autism, two daughters, 8yo and 4yo. She also has a pair of twins who are a year old, one boy and one girl. The parents have recently moved into another home to accommodate their family size and have had to take care of deposits and moving expenses. They have been able to take care of this, however, expenses have left them with little left over for the month. They acquired a few YMCA passes for the summer for a few family members and hope to be able to obtain passes for the remaining family members to enjoy summer activity together. The cost of passes for the remaining children is $117 total. Meeting this need will provide opportunity for all of the children to enjoy swimming and play at their local YMCA and keep them busy this summer.

Description of Request: This is a single mother, who has endured financial hardship in the past several months. Her adult children have vacated the home and did not contribute to the household expenses. The mother has a full-time job as well as is attending dental assistant school to better her financial situation. She is in need of support to catch her up with her bills. The mother was involved in an auto accident last month and is having to deal with unexpected expenses related to this. Her minor child is negatively impacted by all that he is witnessing his mother endure. Paying her water bill would be a great support for her and her son, with one less thing to worry about.

Description of Request: Single mother of two children urgently needs financial assistance paying her past due lot rent. Mom has not been getting the hours or pay that she needs from her employer to maintain her financial obligations. Mom does not have any assistance from any of her daughter’s father. Mom is trying to prevent from being evicted from the trailer park because she has no other place to go. These circumstances have mom working two jobs and she’s unable to spend quality time with her daughters. If mom was able to have her past-due lot rent balance (approx. $500), she and kids would be in a safe living environment and not homeless. The family is facing an undue financial burden and needs all the help they can get at th

A request is being made on behalf of a grandmother who has moved from Tennessee to Florida to care for her granddaughter. The child was removed from her parents in Florida due to substance misuse. The caregiver is still paying for her primary residence in Tennessee, as that is where she is insured and is planning to receive medical treatment. Due to having to maintain two residences, the grandmother is struggling financially and is behind on rent and utility bills in Florida. The caregiver recently moved into a mobile home in Florida that was her son's residence, solely to care for her granddaughter while the biological parents work their case plan. In doing so, her granddaughter was able to be kept out of the foster care system. The caregiver cannot work due to having a serious medical condition and taking care of her granddaughter. A request is being made for a total of $1,500; the grandmother is $1,100 behind on rent and behind $400 on her electric bill. This placement supports the concept of kinship in our community. In fulfilling this request, the grandmother will be able to stabilize her housing situation in Florida to maintain placement of her granddaughter. We appreciate any support that can be provided to this family.

Thank You

Single mother and her 16-year-old daughter are in need of household items. After facing eviction due to unforeseen circumstances, they have spent the last several months sleeping on a friend’s sofa. The mother has worked hard to secure a new apartment for her and her daughter, creating a fresh start. Now that they have a space of their own, they are seeking support with essential household items to help turn the apartment into a safe, stable, and comfortable home — especially for her teenage daughter to rest, study, and thrive in.

The mother is currently battling housing instability and working towards stabilization so she may provide a safe and stable living environment for her children. The mother is hopeful to start work again soon and is working towards normalcy while navigating a difficult time. The mother would benefit from a pair or two of size 8 shoes as she is lacking proper shoes after moving out of her old housing unit. This would shine a bright light in the mother's life after a tough few months.

Shoes size 8 is all that is needed. Thank you for your consideration!

Grandmother is the sole caretaker for 3 year old grandson whose mom is currently in and out of jail. The grandmother has had several health issues that have put her behind on bills, including her power bill. Grandma only receives social security, and has been paying half payments attempting to catch up, but due to still having a past due balance they are about to turn her power off. If the family could have the total balance due of $485.91 paid, it would ensure that the family does not lose power during the hottest months of the year.

A single mother with two young children (2 months and 2 years old) is in need of household essentials as she transitions into a new townhouse. While she has secured housing, the costs associated with deposits and move-in fees have left her unable to afford basic necessities. Providing support with these items will help create a safe, welcoming, and stable environment for her children—offering them a sense of comfort and normalcy during this important time of transition. Any assistance would make a meaningful difference for this young family.

A single mother of a 5-year-old child is in need of a bus pass to help her commute to work and continue searching for a better-paying job. Without a car, she has relied on ride shares, which have become too costly to sustain. Providing a bus pass would ease this burden, helping her maintain stable employment and explore new opportunities—ultimately creating a more secure and consistent environment for her young child. Your support would make a meaningful difference in their daily life and future stability.

A young single mother of a 4-year-old child is seeking support to obtain a bus pass and a bed with appropriate accessories for her child. While the mother is employed and actively working to provide for her family, she is currently facing financial hardship. The cost of transportation to and from work, along with household expenses and basic necessities, has made it difficult for her to fully meet her child's needs. Providing this assistance would help ensure a stable and safe environment for the child and support the mother’s continued efforts toward self-sufficiency. Also, the bed will allow the child to have a good night's rest so he can learn and improve his much-needed rest.

We are working with a single mom with young twins and a teen. The mom works full time and is a single mom. Tasks as simple as deep cleaning the house are tough with little twins. The family has requested help with a deep clean of the house to help this mom have one less thing to worry about.
