One child in care and her baby are placed in a kinship placement. The kinship placement is needing assistance with her water bill. She has a past due payment of $134.24; but the whole bill together is $335.40. Any assistance in paying the water bill would greatly help this family. The placement provider is having a difficult time with all the additional expenses this child and her baby are bringing

This kind-hearted and determined young woman is truly turning a new page in her life. She recently secured stable employment, which she loves, and is working hard to rebuild her foundation after several years of uncertainty. Transportation, however, remains a daily challenge. She currently relies on public buses to get to work, which she is grateful for, but her commute requires taking three separate buses and walking over a mile one way to reach the bus stops. In addition to her job, she’s been using a neighbor’s bicycle to do DoorDash for extra income. Unfortunately, since her neighbor also relies on the bike for their own transportation, this limits how often she’s able to take on delivery work. Having a bike of her own would make a meaningful difference, easing the physical demands of her commute and opening up more consistent opportunities to earn supplemental income. She is currently focused on moving into a more comfortable apartment in a safer, more familiar neighborhood, and is actively studying for her driver’s license to continue building her independence. Despite the challenges she has faced, she remains generous and community-minded; often sharing helpful resources she’s found with her caseworker so they can be passed on to others in need. A bike would help remove major barriers to transportation and employment, supporting her journey toward stability and self-sufficiency.

A young family of 2 children ages 1 and 7 years old are requesting a dryer as they moved into a house from an apartment. The couple have been here from Venezuela for about 2.5 years and help out at Centro Cristiano a Las Naciones with leading music. They moved from an apartment which had a washer and dryer and now they need to provide for their own. The father is looking for work and does odd jobs to help pay for rent, bills, food, clothing, etc. A dryer will help mom take care of her kids so that they will be able to attend school and help their hygiene. Thank you for your help.

This sweet and resilient young mother is working hard to create a better life for herself and her son, whom she has primary custody of during the summer months. Currently living in a small one-bedroom apartment, she’s doing everything she can to stabilize her situation and eventually move into a freestanding home. She faces several high-need medical conditions but remains incredibly strong and focused on getting them under control so she can continue growing and providing for her son. Despite these challenges, she’s determined to stay active and engaged in her child’s life, especially during these energetic summer days when he’s eager to be outside. Not being able to drive, she’s hoping for an adult-sized bicycle with a helmet to help her not only keep up with her son, but also to increase her independence. A bike would allow her to run errands, access essentials that are too far to walk to, and enjoy more time outdoors, all while improving her mental and physical health. In her downtime, she finds peace and joy in crocheting, skillfully crafting everything from blankets to doll outfits. It’s her main form of self-care, and now she’s ready to add physical activity into that routine as well. This bike would be more than just transportation, it would be a tool of empowerment, wellness, and connection for a dedicated mom who’s doing her very best. She is grateful for any style/ color of bike, however, she is a girly girl who loves pink, purple and magenta.

Youth who is in foster care and placed in kinship is working hard to get a job before she ages out this summer. She needs help getting a phone card so she can answer phone calls for potential job opportunities.

There is a 30-ish year-old young man living at apartments in Castle Rock. He is paralyzed from the chest down and in a wheelchair. He was granted special permission to be at these apartments even though he doesn't qualify due to his age. He receives food from Help & Hope on a monthly basis when they visit him. His family lives in Elizabeth and has even less money than this young man. It is noted that sometimes he will give his money to his mom/dad so they can eat.

Help & Hope has been going to this gentleman's apartment on Wednesdays when they deliver food to him, and have been making his bed and doing light chores for him.

Looking for a weekly/monthly volunteer(s) who would like to visit this young man and assist with light chores?

One of the men who attended our Pathway Church services at the Sedgwick County Jail, was recently released from jail. This individual embraced his faith while in jail and consistently attended and participated in the nightly Bible study classes. He has not only been faithful in his own spiritual growth but also actively involved in mentoring and encouraging younger inmates. To help him with his transition, he moved to Ivery House as part of Recovery Hub. With the relationships he has developed, he plans to stay connected with our church community by attending Sunday services and participating in the Thursday night men’s group. By covering the cost of his stay, it will give him a safe and stable place to live as he begins to re-establish himself in the workforce and the community.

We have two Fostering Together youth that are starting new schools in August. They have both had recent growth spurts and are in need of new clothes and shoes for back to school. We want then to feel comfortable and confident with this fresh start. Please consider donating any amount towards this need. Thank you so much for your generosity and prayers for educational success for these sweet brothers!

We have a single mom with her two children and their pet that we just moved into an apartment, but the landlord wants a pet deposit and will not waive it although he did discount it. Any small donations will be greatly appreciated
