A family of 5 is in need of a bed for their oldest son. He is in high school and is need of a full-sized bed. The family has suffered a few set backs and are working hard to get back on their feet. Having a bed will greatly improve the quality of life for this teenage boy. Please consider helping with this need.

I have a young mother that just had a child that was premature. She is behind on her CentrePoint bill of $228.98 and is asking for assistance. She has done everything on their case plan. I'm asking if care portal could send this out to their resources and see if anybody is willing to help this young mother. Thank you

This family is in need of a toddler bed and bunk beds for the children. This mother just lost her job and is currently in need of as much help as she can receive.

Caregiver is currently providing care for both children under a safety plan and had not been expecting the extra expenses, so she is struggling with her finances at this time. She is in need of $300 rental assistance.

Mother is in need of assistance with getting a dryer. Her dryer keeps going out and she has become very overwhelmed with trying to keep up with 3 children's clothing along with hers. In hopes of getting a dryer that works will help relieve some stress off of the mother so she can still stay at home and have a working dryer and not wonder if it is going out again. This dryer is also needed to keep up with their daily laundry and work clothes for mom and her children. This will also help for when the kids go back to school in August.

We are working with a single mother of five children. The family currently resides in a home that lacks furnishing. Mom does not have any family support but has recently secured employment. The family has beds but other than that, it is empty. The house is need of furnishing. They could use a dinning room table/chairs, dressers, couch, lamps, nightlights, and toys for the children. The children's ages are F12, M10, M7, M6, and F3. Any help furnishing the home would be appreciated.

A single mother involved with the agency. She currently lives in a homeless shelter and needs help with housing. She wishes to get an apartment she is approved for but needs help with the security deposit or first month's deposit. She currently works at a Learning Center for $15 an hour, McDonald's for $13 an hour, and is Ubering. She plans to be working at least 40 hours but possibly more with Uber. The security deposit is $875 and rent is $875.

ASAP URGENT NEED: A loving family is facing an immediate crisis and desperately needs our help. A mother and her three young children have been abandoned and are now facing eviction from their home by July 11th. They have no other options and are in urgent need of assistance.

They are seeking help with a U-Haul and movers to facilitate their move tomorrow, July 10th. While the mother is working, her income, particularly during the summer when school is out, is not enough to cover these unexpected and critical expenses.

Any support you can offer to this beautiful family during this incredibly difficult time would be profoundly appreciated.

Grandmother has custody of the 3 children due the mom passed away. The kids are sharing beds and they need to start separating them due to the safety, gender and ages.

Hello CarePortal Family! We have the opportunity to wrap around a courageous grandparent in our community who is raising her granddaughter. She’s doing an incredible job providing love, stability, and care... and now she could use a little help from us. As the new school year approaches, she’s in need of support to purchase school uniforms for her granddaughter. This is a simple but meaningful way we can come alongside her and remind both grandmother and granddaughter that they are not alone. If you’re able to help in any way, we’d be so grateful. Let’s show them the strength of our community and the love that defines it!

Items Needed: 3 size Medium (in Juniors) burgundy tops 2-3 size 6 pants (black or khaki)

Single mother just moved into new housing and reunified with her children. Mother is living on a single income to provide for her children and herself. This mother has mattresses for all of her children but they do not have any platform bedframes. Due to her leaving her previous home she was not able to take much with her to her new home. I am asking for this mother to get help with getting a toddler bed frame and two twin platform bedframe. Thank you!

Hi CarePortal Family!

We are working with a parent who recently returned to shelter with their children following a funding cut on the program assisting with their rent. This parent has worked hard to obtain job skills, obtain employment, and maintain employment despite the housing instability and low social supports they have experienced. Even in light of their recent circumstances, this parent continues to trust the Lord for provision and planning. They have an incredibly positive outlook and amazing faith in His plans.

Due to a late direct deposit and moving into shelter further from the place of employment, they are requesting two bus passes. This will enable the parent to get to and from work reliably and build up savings for a new apartment. Shelter rules don't allow children to be left attending so the second pass will be so their older child can travel with them (the younger one rides free). Will you come alongside this resilient parent to support them in strengthening their family and pouring hope into their future?
