Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

There is a limited income family that needs storage for their medications to prevent one of their children from finding and getting into the medication. They would benefit from a medication lockbox. This would help to keep the child safe by preventing access to medications. One was found online at the following link. Go To Link

Help Reunify a Bio Family

We have youth being released from residential treatment in the next week or so and are reaching out to see if we can find a source for a punching bag. The residential facility has successfully used the punching bag and heavy bags to help focus the youths aggression and work out some of his anger. Since using this method the youth has not had any unsafe incidents. We would like to continue this therapeutic training as the child transitions home. Ideally it would be a free standing bag as we unsure the family has a secure spot to hang a bag. The 100lb bag by itself costs around $100 with a stand costing an additional $100.

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.
