Hi, I have a client that has been recently admitted to the hospital who has a 17yr old son who has an intellectual disability. He can stay in the hospital with his mom while she is there. The issue is the hospital will only provide one meal per day for her son and they are currently homeless and staying at pathways so they have no access to get him food while he is there. We are looking to see if we can get him some meal gifts cards so he can get food while he is there.

This mom recently left her abusive partner. She is rebuilding her life with the help of her family members, but money is very tight right now. Her young son has autism and is non-verbal, and right now they are struggling with safe driving. Kiddo will unbuckle himself when driving in the car but is too big for a generic car seat. Mom is looking for a "special needs" car seat, but they are very expensive, and she can't currently afford one. Right now, she has to pull the car over every few minutes to re-buckle him into his seat on their way to school which takes time and is dangerous. It would greatly relieve a very specific stress while mom works to find supportive housing and re-settles into her new life. Below are links of car seats that would work for this family.

Request: Summer Shorts for 8-Year-Old Girl

A local family is caring for three children with very high-level emotional and behavioral needs. While navigating those daily challenges, they are also facing some difficult family health issues—making this a particularly heavy season for the caregivers.

One of the children, an 8-year-old girl, is in need of some summer shorts. She typically wears a size 7/8 (which are currently snug) or a 10/12 (which are slightly big), so stretchy styles or adjustable waistbands would be ideal. She loves all colors and has a very girly style—anything fun, bright, or floral would make her smile!

Meeting this small but meaningful need would be such a blessing to this family as they continue to pour themselves into the hard work of healing and stability. Thank you for considering how you might help meet a practical need during a very overwhelming time.

Sizes Needed: Girls 8–10 (stretchy or adjustable waistband preferred)

One of our moms just got out of rehab and was able to be reunified with her son! She was accepted into a housing program to be able to leave an abusive boyfriend and needs some gas money to be able to get started as she goes to and from work!

We are currently serving a survivor of trafficking who is a single mom of five (all ages 5 and under). Over the past 2.5 years, her biggest priority has been her kids and making a better life for them.

This month, she is in the process of moving into a bigger place! She is moving from a two bedroom apartment to a 4 bedroom house, which will be much more accommodating for her family’s unique needs.

With more space, comes the need for more furniture. We are asking for a refrigerator, a washer and dryer. These are all items that were provided with her apartment but will not be able to take with her to her house and needs them. She is also needing a table and chairs as she did not have space for them but will now!

Disclaimer: She is set to move in July 1st, so we would not need the items delivered until AFTER that date due to lack of space.

Single mom with two children facing eviction if she doesn't get help with her rent. Children out of school, and challenges with child care, caused her to miss work. She only has half of her rent. She needs to help with $600 which is the the other half of the rent and late charges. The children will be going to summer camp in July allowing mom to get back to her normal working hours.

Hey team, we have a family in our church that serves as a foster family. The birth mom for the child is in need of a convertible car seat so they can have the child for visitation. This would meet a huge need for this mom and child and serve the foster family as well. If you happen to have one in good condition that you could give her that is great or here is an option if you would be available and willing to purchase one. You can just get it to me and I'll make sure the foster family gets it. Thanks so much team.

Newly arrived Special Immigrant Visa holder family of 7 who fled from Afghanistan (US allies) is needing a bunkbed for 4 daughters to settle into a single bedroom in their 2 BR-1BA apartment this week.

Unfortunately, due to limited space in bedroom (needing to fit 2 sets of bunk beds), twin bunk beds will fit better than full bunk beds, so probably not flexible on that aspect of this request.

Depending on the bunk bed frame that you donate, we may or may not need box springs, so I didn't add those explicitly to this request.

Thanks!

We have a youth accepted to Georgia Gwinnett College starting in August. She will definitely need a laptop for school. Although her tuition should be covered by the state through the Independent Living Program (ILP), she will be living on campus and will have to pay her own dorm fees, ($400 per month). She will have a job on campus to try to cover those fees, but is also working now trying to save up for a car. She would greatly appreciate any and all help you could provide to set her up well to succeed at school. Please join us in praying for this youth!

Backpacks & BBQ is an annual outreach event hosted by Middletown Nazarene Church that brings together our church, community, and local partners to support students and families preparing for the school year. We provide free backpacks, serve a full cookout-style meal, and offer a safe, fun, and welcoming environment for children in need in our community.

Each summer, hundreds of neighbors come together at our church for this day of joy and generosity. Children leave ready to start school with confidence and dignity — and families leave knowing they are seen, supported, and loved.

More information about the event can be found here: Go To Link

As part of this event, we want to provide sanitary and hygiene products for the students, so they can go back to school with confidence.
