Help a Teen Prepare for Hospital Admission This Week

A teenage girl in our care is being admitted to a long-term psychiatric hospital this Wednesday to receive urgent mental health care.

The hospital has a strict dress code, and she doesn’t currently have enough clothing that meets the requirements. We are asking for help by collecting Walmart gift cards or arranging a Walmart pickup order to purchase 10 changes of plain clothes and 3 pairs of shoes before her admission.

The estimated total to get clothes from Walmart is $250. Gift cards of any amount are appreciated—even $10 or $20 will help us meet her needs.

If you would like to donate a gift card or help place a Walmart pickup order, please reach out. Thank you for supporting her during this important transition!

Please help strengthen a biological family in need. This family has a single mother that is working hard and working two jobs to support her six children. She is recently separated from her partner and experiencing financial difficulties. Having to start from scratch in a new home has been a challenge. As one can imagine, a home with six children will need to be cleaned frequently and a fair amount of laundry will be produced.

This family is in need of five jugs of laundry detergent, three gallons of bleach, three containers of pine-sol floor cleaner, a vacuum cleaner, 3t-4t pull up diapers, and unscented wipes.

If this need is met, it will afford the family some financial relief in the short term. The mom recently began a new job and funds are limited now, but she is already looking for additional employment to better provide for her family in the future.

We have a mother of a child who is in care that needs assistance with transportation funds. The mother needs to travel via bus to and from her scheduled visits with her daughter. The family is in need of a $50 bus pass. Any assistance given would be greatly appreciated.
