Story

•
4 Children 1 Adult

This mom is in the reintegration progress. She has worked very hard towards reintegration. She had been homeless for over a year and recently obtained housing. Unfortunately, soon after she got settled into her home, she lost her job. She has a new job, however there are several weeks before she will have income from that job. She has four children, 2 with medical needs. She and the father of two of her children recently got engaged, however, he unfortunately was charged from an old legal case and given a 5 year sentence instead of 5 years probation as anticipated. Her fiancee was the primary provider taking care of the rent, and his sudden sentence has caused this mom to be facing eviction. She is in need of financial support; her rent is past due and $1400 must be paid by ASAP or the eviction process will begin. If this mom is evicted, she will not be reintegrated with her children. She has worked so hard to reunite her family. This mom was due to have her youngest son placed in her home on July 1st, however with the uncertainty of her housing, he will not reintegrate until her rent is secured. This mom can continue rent payment going forward as she settles into her new employment.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

The mother is working diligently in reunifying with her children. There are 5 children in the request, ages 1, 2, 3, 7 and 8. The court has given the mother one more month to work towards reunification in order to stabilize her home. Mother needs assistance with various items due to relocating to a new home. Her previous home was infested, due to an infestation in the complex, along with her furniture and other items. Section 8 has approved the family a new home. Mother has been resourceful and made great strides to reunify with her children. At this time, the family is requesting a double jogger (ex. Baby Trend Expedition double Jogger Elixer Stroller on Amazon), A wagon stroller for 2 kids (ex. Cargo-Travel push pull double wagon on Amazon), Booster seat for 4 year old, Car seats for children ages 3, 2 and 1. Mother and children will benefit from these items as it will facilitate mother's continued effort to appropriately care for the children and continue any service programs required by the court. The mother will be able to safely transport her children during these court-ordered programs and for childcare/school as needed, as well as regular grocery shopping and appointments. Mother will make sure to take care of the items and maintain them for on-going use.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A father recently took custody of his two children after their mother was arrested. He lives in a very small studio apartment and is now searching for bigger housing. He has identified food as a need for the family. Family Preservation services are connecting the family to community resources to assist. He is limited to what fresh/cold products they can have as the family does not have a full-size fridge due to the size of the space. A grocery gift card would likely be most feasible for the family. Knowledge of affordable housing options would also be beneficial as father is looking for a larger place relatively quickly.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Please help strengthen a bio-family. Mother and child currently sleep on the same bed but their bed has a broken frame. The family can really benefit from having a safe bed to sleep on. Mother's main source of income is her catering job where she cooks in her home then delivers the food. Unfortunately, mother's stove recently broke down as well. Mother cannot financially afford to repair or replace her stove and does not have any family or friends that could financially assist her. The family really needs to get their stove replaced. The family would really appreciate if you are able to assist them.

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

Dear Team Sherry, this is our final update! Sherry, Kaya, and Kennedy are packing and preparing for the big move at the end of June. Kaya and Kennedy will move into their grandfather’s home in Yorba Linda and commute to Saddleback College. Kennedy graduated high school, got her permit, and will have her license soon. Kaya is carefully planning her transfer to Fullerton College in another year. Cameron remains in New York and is doing well. Sherry will be moving to Nevada to live with a longtime friend. It’s an emotional shift after many years living together, but this past year has been a gift. Thanks to your support, Sherry provided a stable home, helped Cameron begin a new path, supported Kaya’s growth, and celebrated Kennedy’s graduation all in their family home. While the family will no longer live together, they’re ending this chapter with something meaningful: Sherry, Kaya, and Kennedy will all serve as volunteers at Royal Family Kids Camp in late June. It’s a full-circle moment, as giving back to other foster families has always been a passion of theirs. Sherry says this year has been nothing short of a gift from God and that your generosity and prayers was the conduit of that blessing. On behalf of Max, thank you for stepping out in faith and making a lasting difference. Your support was not just financial it was a message of hope and love, and it changed the course of a family’s life. Thank you, Team Sherry! Please select “FUND” when donating.

Alleviate Food/Essentials Insecurity

The client is seeking assistance with her South Central Power bill, which is scheduled for disconnection on June 3, 2025, due to a past-due balance of $349.60. She is able to contribute $100 toward the amount owed.

The client recently experienced significant hardship, including a divorce followed by a car accident that was not her fault. As a result, she was temporarily unable to work and fell behind on her bills. She has since returned to full-time employment and now has a sustainable income.

Given her current circumstances and demonstrated effort toward self-sufficiency, she has been referred to InterFaith for possible assistance.
