Help Reunify a Bio Family

A mother, who is also a recent survivor of domestic violence, needs assistance with turning her phone back on. She is looking for work so that she can afford her bills, but in order to do so, she is in critical need of her phone being active. She has an 8 year old son that is currently placed with grandma, so having an active phone will also ensure she does not lose touch with him or her mom. This is a high need due to a court hearing that is coming up. She needs to be able to speak to her attorney as well. a $60 Walmart card will provide her with a month of service and it would be a huge blessing to this family! Thank you!

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.
