Northview Church

We are appealing to the community to help a tight-knit family stay together and help set them up for success. A teenage brother and sister love their mother, who works very hard to provide for them after tragically losing their father. The children are very polite, friendly and looking forward to being of age to be able to help their mother and family. The teenage boy loves welding and wants to make a career in that field. He is also open to apprenticeship and mentoring from experts. The teenage girl loves to sing and entertain family and friends. This appeal is for welding supplies, educational material and musical device which the children would love to have to be able to further explore their talents and passions.

A family of 6 was recently homeless and have secured housing. They are in need of assistance with furnishing the household, clothing and such.

She is also needing the following clothing items: Men's large shirts, pants XL (36/32), Girls size 12 top/bottom, shoe size 4, girls size 14 top/bottom, shoe size 6, and girls size 16, top/bottom, shoe size 6.

Single parent of three children is asking for assistance replacing the mattress and box spring of her son's bed. Bed is a full set and goes with his bedframe. Due to health issues/concerns Mom is very kindly and respectfully asking for a new full mattress and box spring (not a gently used one). Thank you so very much in advance for any consideration - please ask any questions.

The family consists of a mother and three children ages ranging from 6-12 years old. The family has had trouble with stability and has moved frequently due to inability to maintain their payments for rent. The family has just moved again and is in need of new bedding for the children's beds. The children's beds were observed to only have sheets and no comforters or pillows. Mother would appreciate any assistance to ensure the children have appropriate sleeping arrangements.

DCS is involved due to mother leaving the children with father, taking all of the items for the children with her. Father is currently unemployed and staying with a friend. Father was left with no diapers, wipes, clothes, or formula for the children. Father is currently caring for a 7 month old baby boy and a 2 year old girl. Father is struggling to feed himself and the children. Father does not have funds or transportation to get the supplies needed for the children's well-being.

Family was displaced from previous address due to eviction in Fall 2024. From Fall 2024 - Spring 2025 family was displaced in various locations to include shelter and family homes. During that time family lost nearly all of daily items needed in household. Mom is working to reestablish herself and her children and could use any of the following items:

Living room furniture Dinette Table Set Deep Freezer Queen Bed Set Bedding Pots Pans Silverware Dishes Television (if there is one) BBQ grill (if there is one)

This is a large family - Mom has 6 children and one grandchild living with her. All items do not need to come together - she will be thankful for any items on the list so if only some items are available at a time from one location that is okay for her. She will take whatever from the list she is able to receive. Thank you in advance for your consideration!

A family consisting of a Mother and 15 year old boy could benefit from assistance within their community. Mother is working several jobs to support her family and providing this additional assistance can make a hug impact for the family. The family could use a new area rug for their living room due to their current one having an odor of pet urine. Their elderly dog has had multiple accidents on this rug over the years and providing the family with a new one will improve the conditions of the home. Furthermore, the family could use assistance with moving a few large items (dressers and a table) out of the home to create more space. Mother has health issues that make moving these items incredibly difficult, even with the help of her son. The family's washer recently stopped working, so if the family could get assistance with a new washer for laundry to help with the smell, that would help the family greatly. They are grateful for any assistance provided. Thank you!

A grandmother and her fiancé are placement for her 7-month-old grandson. They are requesting a car seat for him.

I am working with a single father who got his children back (8 year old boy and 4 year old girl) in December and we are getting close to closing the case. He would really benefit from some Uber or Lyft gift cards so that father can take his daughter to daycare and get to work on time. He usually takes the bus, but it has not been getting him there in time. He is able to afford Lyfts/Ubers sometimes, but does not always have the money. Father's schedule will be changing once summer starts and this will no longer be an issue.

I am working with a mother who is working to get her kids back in her care. She has a 10 year old girl and a 4 year old boy who are temporarily placed with family. Mother is in the middle of a divorce from the stepfather and has been waiting for approval for disability for two years (Crohn's Disease) but now that she has to support herself, she is going back to work and is in need of scrubs for her new job. She is asking for cargo or jogger scrub pants (size XL) and scrub tops (size XL) and scrub jackets (size XL). She is not allowed to have any bright colors. Also, she needs white or black tennis shoes, size 8.5 women. The shoes must be closed-toed. Thank you so much for your consideration!

I work with a mother who is working to get her son back in her care and is preparing her new home for in-home visits. She is in need of almost all household items. Here's a brief list: pots/pans dishes/cups silverware dish clothes dishwasher detergent laundry detergent household cleaners bath towels anything else you can think of for a new home (kitchen, bathroom, etc.)

This would really help this mother prepare her home for in-home visits. We will be purchasing a bed for the child, but she may also need sheets, blankets, pillows. I think anything would help. She was living in the home with no furniture for a couple of months. Prior to getting this home, she was living on the streets for several months.

A grandmother is placement for her 3 grandchildren, ages 1 (male), 3 (female), and 4 (male). She is requesting assistance with clothing for the children. The 1 year old wears size 24 month. The 3 and 4 year olds wear size 3T. She is requesting any type of clothing for the children. And is also in need of a firearms lock box for the home.
