Request: #194559 • Urgency: Normal • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Stone Mountain • State: Georgia • Zip Code: 30083 • County: DeKalb • Submitted By: GA- DHS

Story

•
1 Child

The Dekalb County Access and Resource Center is in need of a storage building to use for the entire month of December 2024 for sorting and distributing toys for our foster children. In previous years we acquired a space that had limited time for DFCS/ARC to be out of the building. We are in need of at least a 20,000 square foot space to be able to use for the entire month of December 2024. We need a space similar to the size of a gymnasium or a auditorium. The hundreds of children in foster care brings about hundreds of items for Christmas. We need a place so we can sort and distribute at one location if at all possible without that time constraint. If you know of anyone that has a storage or space that can accommodate such a need please let us know. In previous years the cost has been around $3000 up to $7500 with the time constraints. However if there is a such a building that can be donated we would appreciate it. Thank you in advance for any assistance with obtaining such a storage space.

Help Assist a Victim of Domestic Violence

This is a request that is just specific for Anchor. Rex from our CarePortal Team at Anchor Lincoln picked up a mom for an Uber ride and she requested to go to TRM. It turns out that she is fleeing a domestic violence situation with her 8 year old daughter. She was at the end of her hotel stay but when trying to get into Tacoma Rescue Mission, it became clear that they didn't have space for them. Rex prayerfully brought them back to the hotel and paid for a couple of nights so they're safe right now. We're trying to see if there is a shelter that they could get it into but for the time being, we're trying to buy them time at the hotel. If you're able to contribute towards this need that our own church members came across, please do. Rex and I (Brandon) will go help this family and pay for the hotel with whatever our team is able to contribute. Also, if you have solutions that you are aware that can help a family like this, please let us know!

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

The caregiver/maternal aunt recently obtained legal guardianship of the children after the tragic loss of their mother, following a murder-suicide committed by the younger child's father. The caregiver has expressed that the children are in need of clothing and shoes, as well as bunkbed in order for the children to have their own space in her home. These items will not bring their mother back, but it will assist with the healing process and ensuring the children are comfortable in their new normal.

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

A blessed opportunity to help a young, Christian family make it through a very difficult time in the heat of summer. A mother and father trying to secure a roof over their young children and feed their family. Tragically, the mother just lost her baby during delivery; father had to take time off from work to take care of her. He is back working but they are behind a few paychecks.

They need help to stay in a hotel for 2 weeks while they save money to rent an apartment (the apartment isn't ready yet). They could also use help with essentials and food.

If we can help them now, it will stabilize their income and resources for the future.

Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

We currently are fostering 3 children and want to continue to make their experience meaningful. We have a 12 year old girl who could use some basketball shoes (size 7.5) and probably extra socks. We also have a sibling set ( girl 2, boy 1) who could use some pajamas. She wears 3T and he’s in 18month. Diapers and wipes are always needed. Thank you so much!
