Progressive Baptist

Family that has fallen on hard times. This bill is due today.

We are working with a kinship foster home who has taken in their grandchildren. The family is nearly fully approved and is taking great care of the children. The family has struggled to adjust to increased expenses and is needing help with some bills in order to stay caught up until they receive financial assistance from OHS. We have been able to get some assistance with one bill and if someone could help with this bill it would get the family caught up. If you feel that you can assist with this need let me know and I would be happy to connect you with the family.

Hello,

I have a single mother on my caseload with a four year old and 2 month old baby. My client recently had to pay for repairs on her car and it cut into her monthly budget. My client would benefit from transportation assistance (gas card) to get back and forth from work, the baby's doctor appointments, and day care. Any help would GREATLY be appreciated. Thank you!

Hello all, I am hoping you can help a very dear family. They are 5 adults and 2 children, living in a household that are looking for rental assistance. The family had to leave a previous location due to being uninhabitable, and the previous landlord did not correct the issues. The family has exhausted other resources by staying with other family members and was even homeless for a day. The family was able to obtain a They were able to find a place to stay, but are in need of deposit for the rental by this Saturday (2 days from now). The deposit is $1500. The family is unable to come up with the deposit due to fixing their vehichle which is their only mean for transportation, allowing them to work. Meeting this immediate need for this family will allow them to maintain shelter.

Safe Families is working with a single mom of two year old boy recently fled from domestic violence situation and is in their own apartment. Mom is dealing with some medical issues that will require surgery soon and she is unable to work. The social security disability check was short this month, for reason still unknown. This left her short on rent and she was just given an eviction notice. Mom is taking steps to handle this issue to insure next months rent will be paid as usual. She is also working hard for the medical needs of her and her son. Helping support this family will keep them stable in their current living situation and prevent them from being homeless.

We have a young married couple fostering their nephew and on the road to adoption. Foster mom recently gave birth to a sweet baby girl and is homeschooling and raising 3 other biological children. The family is in need of baby food, a comforter set for a boy, and size 8 underwear for the child. If you can help this family with any of these needs, please connect with us. Thank you!

A single mother of a 6-year-old boy, 5-year-old girl, and 2-year-old girl is completing inpatient substance abuse treatment next week and has been accepted into a transitional living program so she can continue on her path of recovery. Payment of a program fee and the security deposit is required in order to move in. This mother is currently unemployed due to being in treatment but does have a job waiting for her as soon she relocates. Her children have been able to be with her while she is inpatient, but if she is not able to secure her spot in this transitional living program, she does not have a safe place to go, and the children will have to return to foster care placement until she can get settled somewhere. Assistance with this need will allow this family to remain together and make a fresh start.

Single bio-mom does not have transportation and she needs a bus pass in order to get to/from court, services and family time. She is trying to reunify with her 2 y/o son. Thank you for your consideration!

A mother is in need of a bus pass as she does not have a car of her own. She has to take the bus to work, to her required services, and to visitation with her child and struggles to afford the pass without assistance. Providing this pass will give her a greater chance of completing what is required for her to reuinify with her child.

We have a foster mother that has really gone above and beyond to help a 13 year old boy with several disabilities, and there are 3 other children in the home. She's opened her home in order to take him in and even moved to the living room so that he can have her room instead. She's been struggling with some major home repairs and we've been unable to find help for those issues. We are asking for some help with her water/municipal utilities in order offset those other expenses. Her current water bill is $201 approx. Any help is greatly appreciated!

A father of a 1 year old was granted unsupervised visits. He is employed full time but unable to pay for a car seat at this time. He would like to take his child to the zoo or the library for story time. He has reliable transportation but needs a little help.

A mother of six has done the work and now her children are reunified with her. She has only been able to afford a two bedroom apartment but with assistance has been able to find a larger house close to where the children attend school. When the children returned home she had to leave her night time job so that she could be at home with her children in the evenings. She recently purchased a used vehicle large enough to transport the children but the vehicle needed repairing taking all of her available savings. She is actively looking for work and needs assistance to move while housing assistance is still available. Please help this mother with all or part of this request so that the family can spread out a little and continue to build bonds with one another.
