Help Support a Youth Aging Out
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!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family
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.

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 oldest girl is playing lacrosse and is especially in need of leggings and athletic clothes. Any help is greatly appreciated.
