Sacred Heart-St. Casimir Parish

This request is to help a single mother and her elementary student furnish their new apartment. The family arrived in the United States one year ago and were residing with extended family in a 2-bedroom apartment. Due to domestic violence, the family left and through the support of CarePortal, were able to secure their own apartment. The family does not have the financial means to furnish their new space. The family does not have living room furniture such as a couch or chairs. A staff member at the student's school has offered to donate those items, however we do not currently have a way to transport them to the family. The family also is in need of kitchen utensils and cookware, plates, bowls, and cups, two dressers, kitchen chairs, and cleaning supplies. They currently do not own any cleaning items to be able to use.

Help a family care for newborn twins!

Born only a month ago, 2 boys were given to their aunt straight from the hospital. The family is looking for bassinets to have an adequate place for the babies to sleep. The family lives in a single level home and has little space, because of this they are looking for two bassinets rather than full cribs.

Thank you for your help in making a kinship placement!

This family is in genuine need of support. The mother is a single parent who does not receive any child support, and she relies solely on a limited disability income to provide for her household. With ongoing financial strain and other pressing household expenses, meeting even the most basic needs can be a challenge. Assistance at this time would make a meaningful difference. In particular, having a reliable place to store essentials like milk, eggs, and other perishable items would directly support the family’s nutritional needs and promote the healthy growth and development of the student.

We have a single mom of 3 on our caseload who is in need of some immediate car repairs, as it is her and her families only form of transportation. Mom needs a new radiator, among other things, but we are requesting help to replace the radiator at this time. Mom has gone to a mechanic and they quoted her $1000 for a new radiator plus labor. Mom has to rely on uber for her and her family until she can find a solution. If this is paid mom will be one step closer to getting her vehicle back up and running and able to transport her kids. Anything will help this family. Thank you!
