Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Resource Linkage is working with a family who is needing help with groceries and clothes. The mother is a single mom of 2 kids and has been struggling in the past but is working her way up. The family was living in a hotel room but they now have their own apartment and the mom is working. The family also gets food stamps but could use some help getting more food this month. The children have also outgrown some of their clothes and could use some new clothes. The boy who is 13, wears 10/12 pants and large shirt. The girl who is 11 wears a size 10/12 pants and shirt. The mother could also benefit from some new clothes, she wears a size 16 in pants and X-Large in shirt. The mother is in agreement with meeting anyone at Wal-Mart to help her family out with these purchases. Any help for this family is greatly appreciated!

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

Safe Families for Children has surrounded a family with support for 2 years. The children have been cared for by a grandparent and this grandparent is now taking steps to gain guardianship for 4 children. This requires all adults in home to be background checked by submitting fingerprints. This family needs financial support to cover the cost. There are 4 adults needing background checks through this process. This will help keep the children in a stable environment and consistent routine.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

An urgent need has been brought to our attention. A sibling set of three have recently been placed in a kinship home that has been deemed a stable placement for the children. This home is one bed short, so two children are sharing a bed. This puts the home out of compliance and at-risk for not being considered a long-term placement option for all three children. Is there anyone willing to provide a 10-year-old girl, who loves the color pink and Barbies, a twin-size bed? There is an opportunity to check in on this family and wrap support around this kinship parent and other children in the home.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

We have a family in our community that urgently needs help. They are currently behind on their rent because the mother has had her hours cut due to serious health issues. We kindly ask you to consider assisting this young mother with her two small children in paying their rent. Your support can help prevent these children from facing the harsh reality of entering a shelter. Thank you, and God bless.

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

We want to take a moment to celebrate the growth of Sherry, Cameron, Kaya, and Kennedy over the past 8 months, made possible by your generous support. Cameron was juggling two part-time jobs and feeling uncertain about his future. He secured a full-time job at an extermination company and gained confidence and developed new skills. Kaya was a college freshman working at a sandwich shop. Since then, she started a new job at the YMCA in after-school childcare that has brought her joy in student teaching and she bought a car. Kennedy was a high school junior working at a sandwich shop; she has enjoyed school events like homecoming and winter formal. Staying in their home this last year allowed her to complete her childhood there and graduate high school. Sherry was facing financial stress, managing transportation for the kids with only one car. Over the last several months, she took a temporary job but as of recent she now offers in home care to another senior for a few days a week. Most importantly, thanks to you, she has had the time to guide and prepare her grandkids for their next big step in life. Their next big step has arrived, their home of 13 years is being sold, and they must move out by June 31st. We are seeking families or a senior with a spare bedroom(s) who can help them stay in the community. If you know of any housing opportunities for Sherry or the kids, please reach out. Your continued faithfulness is making a lasting impact on this special family.

Help Improve an Adult’s Well-Being

Summit, one of the daughter's of a Summit member has had a very difficult few months. She has been sick for several months, and she moved into a rental duplex that has issues with efficiency. With the last freeze, it was difficult to keep the duplex warm without running the heat continuously. She is trying to get caught up, but she has a balance due on Monday of $537 (we received this last week, so it is my fault I'm just now sending this out), and her rent is due on the 1st (which she will pay). Can you send any amount to help with this? Thanks. Nathan

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

We are reaching out with an urgent plea for assistance on behalf of a family of six—a disabled senior homeowner, three adult family members, and two young grandchildren—who are facing imminent eviction on April 1st. Due to severe medical challenges, the senior homeowner has fallen behind on their mortgage, putting the entire household at risk of losing their home. Despite their best efforts, they now face a critical deadline to raise $5,492.01 to prevent displacement. This home is not just a shelter; it is their foundation, their stability, and their hope. Any support, no matter how small, will help keep this family together and provide them with the security they so desperately need. Please consider lending a hand in this moment of crisis—your generosity can make all the difference.

She has been sober, employed at a local gas station for six months, and recently reunited with her two children—a 13-year-old girl and a 3-year-old boy. She has been diligently working toward securing stable housing, and she’s finally moving into her very own place on the 31st of this month.
