The Mount

This mother recently moved to the DFW area with her newborn daughter. She is in the process of obtaining her own home, car, and a job. She did not move to the area with much and has been given resource packets for her area. She only has a pack n play for the baby to sleep in, and it is not working for them. If you are able to bless this mom and baby with a crib and bedding, please do. Thank you.

This family is doing everything they can to rebuild their lives after facing unimaginable loss. The 41-year-old mother suffered the tragic death of her partner to suicide, which led to the loss of both her job and home. With nowhere else to turn, she and her three children—a female, age 8; a female, age 12; and a male, age 16—were welcomed in by a generous family friend who offered them a place to stay, despite managing his own serious health challenges. All three children now share one small room, sleeping on a twin mattress and an air mattress, yet they remain hopeful and close as a family. They are in need of a few basic items to help create a more comfortable and stable living environment. A trundle or bunk bed would give the children a better place to sleep, and a washer and dryer (new or used) would help them keep up with everyday clothing needs. They are also in need of clothing: size 8–10 girls tops, size 10–12 pants, underwear size 7–8, and size 5 shoes for the 8-year-old girl; XL–2XL tops, XL black leggings or yoga pants (no jeans or bright colors), size 8W shoes, and underwear size 9–10 for the 12-year-old girl; and 4–5X tops and pants, underwear size 4X boxer, and size 15W shoes for the 16-year-old boy. Any support would mean so much as this family continues to move forward with strength, love, and hope for a better tomorrow.

Family of 7 just moved to Texas from another state. The family has applied for insurance and is awaiting on a determination for their case. One of the children has a positive antibody for Hep C and is needing testing to determine if he actually has Hep C. Mom is unable to pay for testing out of pocket due to just moving and not yet able to locate employment. Having this test will help determine the need of further medical care if needed.
