Story

3 Children 1 Adult

Family is a single mom caring for her three boys ages 2, 10, and 13. Her children all have special needs and her 13 year old is experiencing the most significant impact from his rare medical diagnosis at this time which can cause him to be hurt. Mom is working hard to provide for her family but the costs and needs associated with her children's conditions far outweigh what she is able to provide alone. The items being requested are around positively impacting the 13-year old's well-being by providing him tools to help him move towards more independence and enjoy activities that he loves.

I am asking for help providing this 13-year-old with a basketball and hoop as he is not able to go to the park alone because of his medical condition and safety concerns.

He would also benefit from compression sheets and clothing (tank top, long sleeve shirt, vest - size16/18) to help with his medical condition. These items can be found at: Go To Link or a similar website.

Help Remove an Educational Barrier for a Child

A hardworking mom who has courageously rebuilt her life after overcoming addiction is now thriving. She went back to school to continue her education, secured a full-time job, and is committed to giving her children a better future—one grounded in faith. She desires to give her children a Christian education and has been accepted into a local Christian school willing to enroll her two youngest children. A scholarship will cover most of their tuition once they are officially admitted. However, there is a $350 application fee per child, and she is still short $600. She has already contributed $100 toward the total cost, demonstrating her commitment. This request is for the remaining $600 in application fees so that her children can be given a fresh start and a Christ-centered education.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A local family is seeking assistance in purchasing essential medical supplies needed to safely feed their young child. The child has a swallowing disorder that requires the use of a specialized food thickener to prevent aspiration and ensure safe feeding. While the family is actively working with healthcare and insurance providers to secure long-term coverage for the product, they are currently in need of financial support to help cover the cost in the meantime. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as they navigate this challenging time.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A previous mom we helped some time ago has stated the bed we gave is now worn. A photo was provided to show that. She would appreciate a twin bed for her son (mattress and box springs and rails, or platform frame) and a comforter. This will help her son to get the sleep he needs to be healthy and feel secure.

PLEASE NOTE: RISE CHURCH CAN MEET THIS NEED WITH A BED WE ALREADY HAVE IN OUR INVENTORY. NO FURTHER DONATIONS ARE NEEDED.
