Story

1 Child

A 14-year-old youth is entering an alternative living arrangement to avoid coming into children services custody and to enable the youth to have their needs met. They are in need of some items to assist with their care. This youth has some personal limitations that impact their ability to live independently and requires 24-hour 2:1 staff. The youth's parents are employed; however, they have limited means to provide the needed items. Donation of these items will help this youth live as independently as possible in their community.

Hello Care Portal community, This parent has worked hard to secure housing after months of temporarily doubling up with family members. With a steady income now in place, she is ready to create a stable home for herself and her three children. They are just in need of a little support with the security deposit to help make this important transition possible. Thank you all in advance for your generosity.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

On behalf of our client, a single mother with an infant, who is currently facing homelessness following a recent relocation. She is in urgent need of temporary shelter until long-term housing options can be secured. Unfortunately, she does not have any extended family or support network nearby, and despite reaching out to all local resources, she has been unable to secure alternative housing. Given these circumstances, I kindly request that she be considered for immediate temporary shelter assistance to ensure the safety and well-being of both her and her infant. Please let me know what additional information or documentation is needed to move forward with this request. Your prompt attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your assistance.

The family has been facing significant challenges, including frequent relocations between shelters and ongoing CPS cases. Now that the family has secured more stable housing, caseworkers have advised the mother that she must improve the child's sleeping arrangement to meet CPS standards. In response, the mother has urgently requested a full-size bed with a platform frame (with drawers if possible), a full-size mattress, full-size sheets, full-size comforter, and pillows.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Mother and father who were evicted are living in a hotel and have been for weeks, with their two children, one of which is disabled. Father is not legal to work. Mom is working but spending all of her income on hotels as the majority of rentals will not accept her with a recent eviction. She is barely able to pay the hotel much less the basic need items for her family. They are needing soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes (4), toothpaste, deodorant, hair oil, tampons, panty liners, baby wipes, foot powder and cocoa butter/shea lotion. Mom also needs 2 pairs of black pants for work size 4. Father would like to find some side work but just split the seat in 2 pairs of pants. He needs medium T-shirts, 2 pairs of jeans size 32/34x30, socks, medium underwear, and a size 10 work boot. Clothing $180 Personal Hygiene $100 Total $280.00

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

An apartment fire has left a mom and her four kids homeless. Their special circumstances limit the number of apartments that are available to them and are waiting for application approval and availability. The caseworker is trying to find a workable solution but until that is available we can help provide safety and comfort by providing a hotel stay for several days.

Help Assist a Victim of Domestic Violence

Mom came to The Women's Network's Employment Program and graduated in December. She is working full time at Metal Finishing and kept her part-time job at Wendy's. She is now 8 months clean and has gotten the opportunity to move to a sober living apartment community where she will have her own 1-bedroom apartment. Her 17-year-old daughter is now living with her, and she frequently cares for her 2 grandsons who are 2 and 9 months old. The apartment is furnished with 2 beds (full and twin), a couch and a loveseat. Otherwise, she is creating a home from scratch. She's been given a few used dishes, sheets and towels. She specifically needs a kitchen table but could use help with a variety of household items like pots/pans, baking dishes, mixing bowls, can opener, small narrow dresser to place between the 2 beds and decorations. Thank you for helping this mother get back on her feet and reunite her family.

Hi Church! We have an opportunity to bless a mama with two small kids that has just completed her transition from homelessness to getting an apartment of her own. She’s worked really hard and would love some assistance getting some basic pieces of furniture secured. She would love a queen bed for herself and toddler beds for her kids.

Help Preserve an Adoptive Placement

We have a family who has adopted 8 children out of the foster care system in need of help. Their home has become uninhabitable due to widespread toxic mold that was causing sickness and severe neurological symptoms in multiple family members. They are having to replace all of the porous items in their home to keep the children healthy. A registry has been set up for the items they will need, including the mattresses ($133 each): <a href="https://www.walmart.com/lists/shared/WL/d4d38bc6-6dd4-4757-8216-0c897fb49b51" target="_blank"><span class="italic text-brand">Go To Link</span></a> Thank you for any help you can offer!
