Please help these parents get to visitation. The children on this case are placed in two different towns, and parents are struggling getting back and forth. Please bless these parents with a gas card.

Please help us keep these children from entering foster care. Maternal Aunt has unexpectedly taken in her sister's children. As such her utility bills have increased substantially placing a hardship on the family. Please help us keep these children out of foster care, and bless this Aunt by assisting her with her electric bill.

Cousin with two teens of her own took in an infant relative. Placement is on a fixed income. Infant is getting larger and the weather is getting nicer and they would like to be able to go on walks. Placement would benefit from a stroller. By purchasing a stroller for this family, you are allowing their limited funds to go towards necessities.

This request is on behalf of a devoted mother of three who is in urgent need of support to avoid losing her only mode of transportation. Her oldest daughter, age 25, lives with multiple complex medical diagnoses, including cerebral palsy, hydrocephalus, and epilepsy. She is non-ambulatory, uses a wheelchair, and requires transportation to multiple weekly medical appointments in Columbia—a drive of over an hour each way. The mother also has two younger children, ages 12 and 16, who are active in school and extracurricular activities.

For the first time ever, this mom has fallen behind on her monthly car payment, which puts her vehicle at risk of repossession. Without a vehicle, she would be unable to get her daughter to life-sustaining medical care or meet the needs of her other two children.

This mother has been a consistent provider for her family since her husband passed away from lung cancer in 2017. This is a short-term setback—not a pattern. Meeting this need would not only preserve her independence and caregiving ability, but also serve as a powerful encouragement that her community sees and supports her.

Need: One-time car payment assistance $602.

Let us come alongside this family with tangible hope.

Hi Crew! A Wooddale global partner is moving within Minneapolis, and they would appreciate some help with yard work this Friday and Saturday (5/23-24). I know this is very short notice on a holiday weekend, but if anyone is willing to help out, let me know!

Good morning, friends. I have been made aware of a young woman who is 7 1/2 months into a high-risk pregnancy, who has a connection with someone in our church. Part of what she is struggling with is that one of the twins she is carrying passed away quite early in the pregnancy. She has also been in and out of the hospital with various infections, but the baby is fine. She had to quit her job so she has no income and is also not physically able to get out to purchase what she needs. She is being supported emotionally by the baby's father and her parents, but they do not have the means to equip a nursery. If you have ANY baby items taking up space that you would be willing to part with or can help provide any of the items listed, it would be so encouraging and greatly appreciated by them all. She is having a girl and they do have some clothes. I do not expect all of these items to be provided, but I am just throwing out ideas. Thank you so much!

A mom with a child with special needs mentioned that she was without basic clothing and personal hygiene items impacting her ability to work and provide for her family. These items would help this mom be able to provide for her family.

Grandmother took in 7 grandchildren. The family is in need of food and a fan for the house.
