The mother is single with 4 children, one 2 month old. She is on disability and has very limited resources. She provides a loving home for her children in spite of the financial situation and is a great parent to her children. She is in need of beds and bedding for the children as her income does not allow her to afford these things. She has some family support but none that can afford to help her financially.

I am requesting assistance for a mother of four children who is rebuilding her life after domestic violence in the home. She has one daughter, age 7, and three sons, ages 7, 6, and 3. The family is in need of bunk beds and a twin size bed for the boys, who share one room, as well as dressers for both the boys’ room and the daughter’s room. Additionally, the mother is in need of basic household items, specifically pots, pans, and new dishes, to help create a stable and functional home. Providing these items would greatly support this family as they work toward a fresh start and a safe, nurturing environment for the children. Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

I am reaching out on behalf of a Spanish-speaking single mother who is in urgent need of rental assistance. She is currently pregnant and caring for two young children—one who is 5 years old and the other just 4 months old. Although she has been working to support her family, her vehicle recently broke down, preventing her from getting to work and resulting in a loss of income. She is now struggling to pay her rent and at risk of falling behind. Due to her current citizenship status, she has had difficulty qualifying for many rental assistance programs and organizations. Any support or resources available to help her during this challenging time would be deeply appreciated.

Family in Urgent Need of Safe Housing Support.

A single mother of two—one child just 2 years old and the other 17—is currently facing unsafe living conditions in her apartment. For some time, the unit has suffered from severe structural issues, including floors caving in and a large hole in the bathtub. While the landlord has recently started repairing the hole, they’ve now discovered a leak in the apartment that may require extended repairs.

Instead of providing a safe, habitable solution, the landlord has asked the mother and her children to temporarily relocate to another unit on the property that is known to be in even worse condition. The proposed unit has been reported to be infested with rodents and presents numerous additional concerns for the family's health and safety.

In her attempt to advocate for herself and her children, the mother reached out to the local housing department. Unfortunately, the only support offered was a letter allowing her to vacate the apartment. However, with her sole income being Supplemental Security Income (SSI), she lacks the financial resources to secure a new place to live—particularly the upfront costs such as a rental deposit.

This family urgently needs support to find safe and stable housing. Assistance with a security deposit or temporary housing could make all the difference in preventing homelessness and ensuring these children can live in a clean and secure environment.

The family is about to get evicted from their home. The family fell behind on payments for rent due to placing their child in daycare. The family is in need of financial assistance in order to pay the rent and be caught up financially. Mother was not working, and the grandmother has been the primary provider for the family. The mother was recovering after her pregnancy, and the father is not in the picture. The mother is currently working on stabilizing herself with employment, so they won't be in this situation again.

Single mother is currently caring for six children; the family is in need of bunk beds. The mother has the mattresses but is in need of the bunk bed frames. This will help the children have their own place to sleep instead of sharing beds with one another.

The family has relocated back to Dallas County to their home. They have been able to obtain a bed for their oldest child but is in need of two toddler beds for their youngest children. Mom just started working but in the process of getting established in her role and assisting with household necessities. The family has experienced a lot over the past 9 months, and a little assistance will really help alleviate some of the families' financial stressors.
