Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

$100.00 still needed

Request: #193063 • Urgency: Critical • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Fort Smith • State: Arkansas • Zip Code: 72901 • County: Sebastian • Submitted By: Restore Hope, Inc.

Story

5 Children 2 Adults

My client and her husband are caring for their children and two grandchildren. Misty fell ill and was not able to work for a month. This loss of income caused them to get behind on rent. We have found a program to help prevent homelessness; however, the apartment complex stated they must have legal fees paid too or they cannot accept the rental assistance. The legal fees are not able to be covered by the program due to policy. If we can get even a portion covered, Restore Hope can also assist. If this family is evicted, they will have no place to go and it is possible the children may enter foster care due to inadequate shelter.

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.
