Child has grown up in and out of foster care. Child was raised without knowing who his father was. In 2023 Mother named a man, after DNA results, in Dec 2023- the child found out who his biological father was. Much to father's surprise, as he was informed he could not have children. Father quickly began visiting and getting to know his son. Over a year has passed since they have first met and things have dramatically changed for father and son. They attend family therapy together and are building their relationship. Father was displaced after breaking up with his girlfriend who was not welcoming to the child, after the breakup father was set to move to a home in Pasadena in Jan 2025. Sadly, the home they were supposed to move into- was burned down by the Eaton Fire. Father found housing in Glendora. Father is in need of a couch, dining table and even a TV. Child loves to play video games and uses video games to escape and get his mind off of things such as the emotional toll that visits with his mother and siblings. Father has worked so hard to be able to find a stable place that court can release the child to, and despite his initial home that burned down; he did not give up and did not let that bring him down.

#2 NMD has been an exemplary young adult in our AB12/ Extended Foster Care services as she has diligently continued her post-secondary education at Cerritos Colleges, where she is soon to graduate and anticipated to transfer over to a Cal State University of Dominguez Hills.

This assistance will further her ability to become self-sufficient as she is well deserving of the help with her success in maintaining compliance with the department and should be rewarded for her great works and commitment to not only remaining eligible for services, but most of all progress for herself. She is in need of assistance in her transition out of her current home and into assisted living. She is in need of shirts, pants shoes and hygiene products.

I am reaching out on behalf of a single mother with six children who is currently in need of support. The family was recently displaced from a room they had been renting and, thankfully, has now secured their own apartment. However, they are in need of essential household items to help make their new space livable and comfortable. Some of the immediate needs include: Microwave, Dining table, Pots and pans, Plates and utensils, Towels and blankets. Any assistance would be deeply appreciated and would make a meaningful difference for this resilient family as they work to rebuild their lives. Thank you for your time and consideration.

A dedicated student who will be graduating this June from Riverside City College with her RN certification is a single mother who has shown remarkable commitment in managing her academic responsibilities, parenting, and limited work hours. Due to the intensity of the RN program, she is currently working reduced hours, making it challenging to cover the costs associated with the licensure process. Assistance with the following expenses will enable her to obtain her nursing license and begin employment as a registered nurse, with starting wages around $40 per hour. This will greatly enhance her ability to independently support herself and her son.

Estimated Costs for California RN Licensure (Licensure by Examination – First-Time Applicant):

Application Fee: $300

Fingerprint Processing Fee: $49

NCLEX-RN Examination Fee: $200

Optional Temporary RN License: $100 Total Estimated Cost: $649

This is a resilient family of five who have faced significant housing instability throughout this school year. They have been forced to move four times, often living in doubled-up situations and renting single rooms from strangers. Despite these challenges, through determination and hard work, they have finally secured a home of their own. As they begin this new chapter, the family is in urgent need of several household items to help them settle in safely and comfortably. Their most immediate need is a baby gate to keep their twin toddlers safe. Additional items that would greatly help include a blender, a dining set, and plastic reusable drinking glasses. Any support or donations toward these essential items would make a meaningful difference for this family as they build stability and a sense of home. Thank you for your generosity and compassion.
