Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Good Afternoon. I want to start off thanking you all for everything you do. I am currently working with a family that has a son going through a lot of mental health issues. Mom is doing the best she can with the home and keeping everything afloat. She has an apartment inspection next week and is needing assistance with cleaning supplies. trash bags and hygiene products. She does have a job and is working full time but, she is also a single parent taking care of both children. She also could use some help with bus passes to get to work and appointments. Mom is doing everything she can to keep the child in the home but is also very scared of failing the inspection due to her sons behaviors. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

This family consists of an aunt who is caring for 4 children to keep them out of foster care. She has been heavily burdened with a vehicle that she purchased that has had continued maintenance problems and she is trapped in a car loan where she has owes more than the car is worth and paying very high amounts in interest. The costs of maintaining the vehicle and paying the loan payments are preventing her from being able to have the money she needs to cover her basic living expenses. We are asking for a vehicle donation or help purchasing a vehicle for this aunt so that she can sell her car and pay off a large portion of her car loan. We are also looking for wisdom or advice if anyone has experience with these circumstances.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

A single mother is suffering from postpartum depression and residing at the Rescue Mission. Her child is one month old, born June 6. The mother has no support as she grew up in foster care herself. This is her first child and the biological father is not involved. The Rescue Mission makes this new mother wake up and start chores by 445 am. The mother is suffering from lack of sleep as she has a newborn and is forced to leave the Mission every day by 9 am and not able to return until 3 pm. This forces the tired mother to take her infant often times to the library where she spends the entire day until she is able to return to the Mission. But even then, she is not allowed to access her bed until 7 pm. The mother does not use substances. Any support is helpful to this mother, but ideally would benefit most from a sponsor. Once the child is old enough, the mother would like to return back to work if she is able.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

Single female has taken in two of her niece's girls, ages 2 and 1. She is in the process of doing kinship foster care for the children. She has had to take off work to care for the two children, get them set up with different providers, and get them to a number of medical appointments. She states that Pampers diapers and hypoallergenic wipes would be very helpful. She also stated that a toybox to store the girl's toys would be helpful because of the small space they are all in. 4-5t diapers (Pampers brand) 5-6t diapers (Pampers brand) Hypoallergenic wipes (any brand)

We have a family that is in need of some assistance for food. The family recently fell on hard times due to a custody issue and had some setbacks financially. They were able to get back on their feet and applied for SNAP benefits which will not be available for another couple of weeks. The family has utilized food banks and friends that they have in the area. They don't have any family in the area due to moving from another state and just needs a little extra help with food until their SNAP benefits arrive.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

Two children are in Roanoke City DSS custody, and their parents are working toward getting them back by attending weekly visitation. They are also attending weekly counseling, per the department's request, but they do not have their own form of transportation. I am seeking two 31-day bus passes to help them with transportation to and from these events. Thank you in advance.
