Help Strengthen a Bio Family
Mom and dad live in the home with their 10 children. Mom started her new job 1 week ago. Mom and dad received an eviction notice that stated the family has 3 days to vacate. Dad stated he has some of the money but needed assistance. Dad works out of town, which leaves mom at home alone to care for the 10 children alone. Mom and dad would really benefit from one-time assistance. Dad stated he could maintain his family's stability if he receives one time assistance.

We have a family displaced to a hotel in the Hobby airport area. We have helped them in various ways including providing mileage reimbursement. However, 2011 Volkswagen Routan SEL has broken several times. She says it gets overheated and uses alot of oil. In addition, the battery is dead. We are not sure exactly what is needed.

The parent was able to replace her battery yesterday. She put oil in it, but it all leaked out. She was able to call a mobile mechanic, and he told her the part that she needed to order from Amazon. It will be here tomorrow. He wants $450.00 for labor. Our new request is someone to put the part on or an affordable resource.

The foster mom reached out to the case manager because the backyard porch has been collecting water when it rains. The family isn’t sure how to fix it but they’d like to find a solution so the foster child can keep playing with their toys outside without any issues.
The family is requesting assistance with repairing their porch; they are thinking about either a deck or raising the concrete but will be thankful for anything.
THIS AMOUNT IS UNKNOWN at this time. If several folks pitch in together, for labor and wood, etc., then the amount could be "any amount." Please understand that I am putting this value in so everyone will read this but it could be $100-$1,000+. Thank you for any leads or information you can provide.

A single mother of two teenage sons is seeking financial assistance to cover the costs associated with securing a new apartment. The necessary expenses include an application fee of $35 and a deposit of $250. The family was recently evicted and is currently staying in a hotel. The mother is employed and expects to receive her paycheck on Friday evening. In addition to the application fee and deposit, she requires $149.30 to cover two nights of hotel accommodations. With this support, she hopes to move into the new apartment by Monday. The new residence is more affordable than their previous dwelling, making it a sustainable housing option. Assistance in this matter would provide the family with a safe and stable place to stay during this transitional period.

Help Improve a Child's School Attendance
Single mother of a middle school fifth grade girl broke ankle at work. Parent pays daily an uber riding back and forth with child to school in morning and afternoons to get child safely to school. She is unable to drive them in parent scooter anymore as her foot is in a cast. She will need to do this until end of school year in May. Family lives less than 2 miles but she does not feel child is safe walking. Can Care portal assist family that is receiving food stamps and now workman's comp for income and does not have car with an uber gift card to help some. There may be local programs in area that can provide shuttle safely, I found one for afternoon drop off only for 50 dollars a week but parent needs morning as well. They have no family here to help and child had to stay two days at home to help mother initially with broken foot.

The foster parent has not asked for any assistance with anything and has bought the necessities for the 1-year-old child. He is a big boy for his age, and she is hoping that she can get assistance with some Pampers, Swaddlers diapers, size 7. It is expensive, especially in this economy and she is a sole parent who has to pay all of the expenses. This little boy is very bonded with his foster parent, and she has sacrificed a lot to take him in and to show him what it truly means to be loved.

Help Reunify a Bio Family
I am writing to request assistance in obtaining school uniforms for a young girl who has recently moved in with her father. Her father was recently released from prison and is working diligently to establish a stable and supportive environment for his daughter. As they work to rebuild their lives together, financial resources are currently limited. Providing this young student with the appropriate school uniform will help her feel confident and prepared as she transitions into a new school environment. Your support would make a significant impact during this critical time. Thank you for considering this request.

The 15 year old teen boy is currently living with his great-aunt. He is a shy and kind boy who is always so excited when he gets to visit with his young siblings. He enjoys being on the football team and is currently practicing for basketball for next year. He has had issues with aggression and angry outbursts in the past and he has worked very hard to have no issues so far this whole school year. He has asked for a piano (electric and either mid-sized or full size) and a guitar. He would be happy with used or new items. The piano was his first choice but he would like both items if possible. I believe these items will help him continue to work on his anger and give him a creative outlet for his emotions. Thank you for your consideration of this request!
