Family Hope Coalition

This resilient youth was primarily raised by her grandmother. She had moved out of state to reconnect with her bio mother, but soon found herself in a negative and unstable position. Unfortunately, this caused her to lose everything and almost end up homeless. Grandmother reached out, and helped her get back to Philadelphia but had just moved into a senior living facility which does not allow the youth to stay there. Due to her urgent situation, we accepted her into our transitional housing program, but she has very minimal possessions. In order to prevent her from becoming homeless, she is scheduled to move in by Wednesday but she needs: a twin mattress and box spring, a mini fridge, a bathroom set (shower curtain, trash bin, soap dish, bath rug, etc.), bath towels and wash clothes, pillow/s and bedding for a twin bed, hangers, and a few small bins to store things in. Her favorite color is sky blue! Please help Prevent this youth From becoming homeless!

Good day -

CCS CUA 4 is requesting assistance for a single mother. She and her children moved and needed to disposed their beds. Mother is sleeping in the living room while the children share her bed. Mother is requesting assistance with 1 twin size bed with a mattress and a set of bunk beds (twin size). In addition, she would like 3 dressers so they can organize their clothing.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Five teen moms have taken a bold step to grow in their faith. These young women have experienced a life filled with challenges; some have faced instability, loss, or deep hurt at a young age. Despite this, they do their best to grow, heal, and become better moms for their children. As they begin this journey, we hope to gift each of them a Bible to support their spiritual growth and help them stay rooted in God's word. Having their own Bible will allow these young moms to read, reflect, and grow in their relationship with Christ while building a foundation that will impact their lives and their children's lives.

One of our young moms is moving into her very first apartment, and we're looking for full-size bedding to help her create a safe and comfortable space for herself and her child. We are looking for a gently used or new bed frame, dresser, and nightstand. Mom already has a mattress and needs new bedding. She is a single mom of two children under the age of 3, and has worked extremely hard to provide a place where she and her children could continue to grow in faith, life, and leadership.

This request is for a family of 4 who recently moved to a new home and is facing financial hardship after the father lost his job just before the move, leaving them to rely on a single income. The children (ages 2 and 4) have bedframes but are in need of two twin-size mattresses and 2 pillows to create a proper sleeping space. Providing these items will help the family settle into their new home and ensure the children have a comfortable and safe place to sleep.

A great aunt has guardianship of her three great nieces. She is on a limited income due to her disability and receives limited financial support for caring for the girls. The girls are all outgrowing their clothes, and the family does not have extra funds to afford many new clothes for them, especially with the recent jump in Delmarva bills. The family has tried the clothing closets that I've suggested and has not been able to find much in the girls' sizes. The oldest girl is playing lacrosse and is especially in need of leggings and athletic clothes. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sizes:

15 year old: small tops, size 5 or 7/8 teen, size 8 shoe 13 year old: medium/large tops, large leggings, size 11/12 teen, size 8 shoe 10 year old: large top, size 13/14, leggings extra large, shoes size 8 All three girls really need socks

A grandmother has guardianship of her three grandkids, ages 7, 8, and 11. She has limited income through social security, TANF, and SNAP and is often struggling to make ends meet with the finances that she has. Her vehicle is in need of $1700 worth of repairs, which she is unable to afford right now. She needs her vehicle to get the kids to and from school and to therapy appointments, as they all have mental health and behavioral needs. She is struggling with her ability to provide the care that the kids need with the resources that she currently has, and often finds herself overwhelmed with the different financial challenges she is facing on top of the needs of her grandchildren. Receiving help with funding the repairs of her vehicle would be a huge help in supporting in meeting the needs of her grandchildren.

A grandmother of one who is on a fixed income is in need of a few items to preserve kinship placement in her home. She has worked hard to purchase some items that were needed but is unable to afford a few items. The family is in need of the following:

2 Dressers 3 Doors for the home measuring 80 by 30 (x2) and 80 by 28 (x1)

A mother of one is caring for her four grandchildren as they were placed with her by DFS for neglect. The grandmother is on a fixed income as she receives disability. She is also currently residing with family members until she is able to find a home of her own. She was recently approved for state benefits but is still in need of some assistance. The family is in need of the following items:

Clothing Girls 2T, 3 kid’s shoes Boys 3/4T, 7 kid’s shoes Girls 6T, 13 kid’s shoes Boys 14/16, 8 men’s shoes Women’s 6 pants, Sm. shirts, 4 men’s shoes Women’s 2pants, XS/S shirts, 4 men’s shoes

Household cleaners Personal hygiene items Diapers size 4 (no pampers brand/allergy) Wipes Small couch/love seat

Grandparents are caring for their 7 year old granddaughter and 4 year old grandson, and just assumed care of their four week old grandson. The children were unsafe living with their mother, and the grandparents have stepped in to care for the kids so they do not have to go into DFS custody. Because they have guardianship, the grandparents receive little additional financial resources to care for the children. With the baby, they do not yet have WIC, purchase of care, or TANF in place and they have to pay a family member to provide childcare for the baby while the grandparents' work. They do not have many items for the baby except a pack and play. The grandparents could use assistance obtaining clothing, organizational bedroom furniture, and baby items, such as a walker/playset for the baby to sit in and move around in as he gets older. The 7 year old girl wears 8-10 in girls and her shoe size is 3Y. She likes Hello Kitty. The 4 year old boy wears a 5T in clothes and 11C in shoes. He likes Marvel, Spiderman, and Toy Story. The 4 week old baby could use clothing sizes 0-3 months.
