Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

Habersham County DFCS is working with a single mother of 4 in a Family Preservation case. The mother needs a cell phone that she can use to do virtual meetings with service providers. Her current phone is held together with tape. The screen is so cracked it is difficult to read anything on it.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

I am submitting a request for a family with a 1 1/2 year old. I would like to help the family with a weighted stuffed animal to use at home. I am looking for a weighted stuffie between 2-3 pounds so the child can sleep more independently and for longer periods of time. This would develop healthy sleeping patterns for the child and parent. The child likes Unicorns but it isn't a requirement. Here is an example. Go To Link

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I’m reaching out on behalf of a single mother of four children who is in urgent need of support. She lost her husband a few years ago and has been doing her best to care for her children on her own. Recently, she was let go from her job after missing work to care for one of her children, who is very sick. She is actively searching for new employment but has not had any luck yet. With no income and no support system, she’s now struggling to keep up with her bills. Just yesterday, she received notice that her electricity will be shut off next Friday if she is unable to pay her bill. The total amount needed to prevent the disconnection is $600. Please keep this family in your prayers, and if you are able to help financially, any donation toward this $600 would be deeply appreciated to help keep their power on during this difficult time. Thank you!

An expectant mother is in need of basic items for a newborn due later this month (May). The mother's community health coach requested an infant car seat, diapers, wipes. These items will allow the child safe transport and will supply the baby's diapering needs for a few weeks. We still need funds for the CARSEAT, WIPES, and DIAPERS. You may click, "Yes, I Can Help!" if you would like to donate any amount of funds so we can purchase the items. Just type in the amount you'd like to contribute. Or, you can contact Oni if you would like to provide the items -- diapers (newborn). Thank you!
