I am currently serving a Kinship/Adoptive mom caring for her 10-year-old son. Due to a recent injury, the mother is preparing for emergency surgery and needs temporary care for her 10-year-old son during her recovery (about one week). The surgical process starts July 3rd. He’s a bright and curious child with several diagnoses, including ADHD, High Functioning Autism, PTSD, DMDD, and Tourette’s. (There are more details, as he is a complex child, that will be shared with those who are considering hosting). He communicates well but may stutter or cough when explaining things, however, patience helps him feel heard and supported.

There have been past challenges with aggression toward his adoptive mom, but he just started intensive in-home counseling, which will continue through the week and can offer added support to the host family. He also attends a summer schooling program, that will provide support during weekdays.

The family would be grateful for a compassionate family or individual who can provide a calm, safe, and understanding environment while his mother recovers. If this is something you or your church community might be able to help with, please reach out for more details. We are grateful for blessing this family however you are able!

I am working with a mother and father, who have a young child- and are struggling with lack of financial resources to replace the door to their home. They currently do not have a front door- it is entirely broken, and just props up on the frame at night but is not at all attached. It is a safety hazard to the family to not have a door to their home, putting them at risk of harm. Any assistance that could be provided to this family to either obtain a new door, or help them put the door in would be greatly appreciated.

I am working with a single mother of 7 children, with minimal support and money- who is in need of child proofing door handles. Some door alarms have already been provided to her, but she could benefit from the door handles as well- to keep her young children inside at all times- as some of her children are very young.

A family of six is currently experiencing significant hardship and is in urgent need of assistance with obtaining cell phones and food. The parents of four daughters are currently homeless and lack access to a phone, which severely limits their ability to communicate with service providers, DSS, and other community resources. The communication barrier has prevented their ability to receive the support they need, however, with consistent communication the family can be provided more effective assistance.

Additionally, the family does not have access to food or water on days when community resources are unavailable. They also do not have transportation at this which has further hindered their situation.

Despite these obstacles, the family has demonstrated initiative by actively seeking out available resources and has clearly expressed a strong desire for help in order to be available for their children. Fulfillment of these needs will empower these parents to move forward in their goals and improve their well-being.

It is noted that two phones would be helpful, however, one will suffice if necessary.

A single mom is in need of assistance, children aged 10, 6 and 2, with cleaning the environment of her home. Due to recent hardship, they are struggling to maintain a clean and safe living environment.

Any assistance with cleaning supplies, volunteer time, or professional cleaning services would make a meaningful difference for this family’s well-being and comfort.

A family is in urgent need of home security cameras to help ensure safety and support efforts to bring their child back home. Having security cameras installed will provide crucial evidence and peace of mind, aiding the family and authorities in their efforts to reunite safely with their child. Any assistance you can offer—whether through donating cameras or funding—would be deeply appreciated. The cameras will need access to Wifi.

A family of 6 is currently in emergent need of housing. The family is comprised of two grandparents caring for their four granddaughters; one of which is only a few weeks old. This family has recently been evicted from their home and have been staying in a motel while searching for housing, however, they will no longer have the funds to continue their stay past 6/17. With no housing the children are at risk of coming into foster care as they need a safe environment to reside. This risk could be resolved with the extension of the motel while the Department assists the family in finding housing.
