Help Strengthen a Bio Family

$0.00 still needed

Request: #216410 • Urgency: Normal • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Grand Rapids • State: Michigan • Zip Code: 49505 • County: Kent • Submitted By: Catholic Charities West Michigan

Story

1 Child 1 Adult

A single mother is in need of a microwave since her microwave caught fire last week. She utilizes this appliance daily to meet the dietary needs of herself and her 7-month-old baby girl (she uses the microwave to heat water for her to give her child warm formula). The mother starts her new job in March, so for now she only has enough money to cover their very basic needs and can't afford to buy a new microwave.
All items can be dropped off at our administrative office at 40 Jefferson Ave SE Grand Rapids, MI 49503, Monday - Thursday 8:30 AM - 3:00 PM, or be picked up from your church to be taken to the mother. Thank you for the support!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

The client is a young mother who recently gave birth and is working hard to care for her newborn despite facing significant financial hardship. Her Social Security benefits were recently cut, leaving her without a stable income or access to necessities. Both she and her baby would greatly benefit from support with essential items, such as food, hygiene products, baby clothes (0-6 months), and supplies. Baby laundry detergent, baby's toys, essential items, including food such as milk, bread, rice, fruits, and vegetables; hygiene products like soap, toothpaste, deodorant, and diapers; and cleaning supplies to maintain stability and meet daily needs. The client has been highly consistent and engaged in her treatment, showing strength and commitment to building a better future for herself and her child. While she has endured severe trauma in the past, including abuse and exposure to violence, her current focus is on providing her newborn with the care and stability she did not have growing up. Support through CarePortal services would help meet her immediate needs and reinforce her efforts to create a safe and nurturing home. ****Note: Center for Family Services of Palm Beach County submits this request on the client's behalf. Due to accreditation policies, we kindly request that churches meet the client at our facility, located at 4101 Parker Avenue, West Palm Beach, FL 33405. Thank you for your willingness and commitment to support our community.”

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.
