Please help an expecting mother who is about to give birth at the end of this month (May 2025) to obtain a travel system stroller and car seat combo. The client and her family are struggling financially, as they are currently unemployed.

A dedicated single mother in the final five weeks of RCC’s nursing program is seeking assistance with summer clothing for her two children. As she prepares for the upcoming expense of licensing fees required to begin her nursing career, she is currently unable to afford these essential items.

Her 14-year-old son wears a men’s medium in shirts and size 14 in pants. Her 10-year-old daughter wears size 10/12 tops and 11/12 pants, she is tall for her age.

I am working with a young 19-year old NMD mother of an adorable and smart 2 year-old little boy. She is a good mother who ensures her son has all of this needs met. She is trying to better herself and her education in order to obtain a job/career for the future of her family. Initially, she saved up and enrolled in Phlebotomy school in Riverside, she completed 4 of 12 classes, but had to stop for a time because of childcare issues. She has since worked on securing childcare and wants to re-start, but now does not have all of the funds needed to complete her program, although she has saved some. She is on a limited income of $500 a month so saving anything significant has been a challenge for her. She is asking for assistance of approx $500 to be paid to the school. Once she completes this program she believes she can find a job in this field that she is very interested in. Thank you for your time in reviewing this request.

The referred family is requesting assistance of $150 for child’s glasses. The child has behavioral outbursts in which the resource parent has reported that child often breaks his glasses when upset. Resource parent reported that Medi-cal only covers one pair of glasses per year and she has had to purchase extra pairs for the child when he breaks his glasses. child has severe vision impairment and has been diagnosed with primary seizure disorder, Congenital nystagmus with sensory abnormality, Refractive amblyopia, and bilateral, congenital cataract of both eyes and Pseudophakia of both eyes, developmental delay, and regular astigmatism of both eyes. Resource parents are requesting financial assistance for reimbursement of 150$ spent on another pair of glasses for the child. This assistance will also help support child with remaining in current placement, as he presents with behavioral challenges, which is difficult for the resource parent at times, because child continues to break his glasses when engaging in a behavioral outburst. Child cannot see correctly without glasses for vision support. The family would be appreciative of any help and want to explore all options to make the child as comfortable as possible at home

A single mother of two is currently facing a utility shut-off after falling behind on payments. She has been residing in her unit for an extended period and has been adhering to a payment plan of $120 per month. This month, her outstanding balance has reached $438.17. She has received a red tag notice warning that if she does not pay at least half of the balance, her utilities will be disconnected. To prevent the shut-off, she is attempting to pay $219, but is requesting assistance with covering the remaining balance in order to avoid further disconnection threats.

I have a student in my school that is going through a hard time. His family will be experiencing housing uncertainty at the end of the month. My student's main concern is not having enough food to eat or any clothes to wear. The single mom is doing the best she can to work and provide for her two children but has fallen on hard times recently. My student comes to school emotional and worried. Filling this request would enhance well being for my student, his little brother and their mom.

I am asking for a grocery card for the family. A pair of shoes and some underwear, plain shirts and pants for the each boy. Also some clothing items for mom if possible.

The student and family is currently homeless. The family will be moving into an apartment in a day or 2. The family is in need of (4)dressers, (1)toddler bed, couch, coffee table, dining table, microwave, toaster, refrigerator, and blender.

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.

Hello, we are asking for some assistance to help support a struggling family in need. A single father of a 10-year-old, 18-year-old, and an adult disabled child was recently admitted into the hospital and there are serious concerns he may not make it, and if he does he won't be home soon due to recovery time. The children’s grandfather has stepped in, taking the responsibility of caring for the children while their father is in the hospital, but they are emotionally and financially struggling due to their circumstances.

Grandfather will not get any assistance or funding for the children for over 45 days or more so we are asking for some help in providing immediate help via a grocery card to help with food and a gas card to help carry them through this emergency situation.

The family lives in a small trailer in an RV park and another concern is they’re at risk of being evicted if they do not repair the trailer door. We have estimated that the hired cost to repair will be between $700-900 of if if anyone has access to have someone replace an RV trailer door this would be such a blessing for them. This will allow the grandfather to retain the housing for him and the children. I have listed this Careportal request as a multi-request since there are a few needs to help this family during this difficult time. Thank you for reviewing this request.

A families home recently burned down and they are currently in need of furniture, kitchen supplies such as pots and pans, spatulas, ect and undergarments for the student. Any help with help this family get back on track.
