3 Children 2 Adults

Family has been struggling with recent death of child. Family has started to engage in mental health services, but stable employment due to mental health was a challenge for the past 1.5 years and family was having financial difficulties.

Both parents now have stable employment and anticipate that financial struggles will decrease over the next several months. CW is requesting gas cards for family to help ease their financial load at this time.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

This request is made on behalf of a prospective adoptive parent who is in the process of adopting two boys, ages 11 and 9. The family is currently navigating a divorce, which has introduced significant changes and financial strain. The prospective adoptive parent is seeking financial assistance to cover the cost of a YMCA gym membership, priced at $121 per month (this would be for a membership of 6 months). This membership is essential for enrolling the boys in additional summer camp programs offered through the YMCA. While full funding would be greatly appreciated, any level of support would be helpful and sincerely valued.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

This family is working hard to rebuild stability after experiencing a series of setbacks. The single mother, who is disabled, recently lost both her housing and transportation following a serious car accident that left her severely injured. Though she has made significant progress in her recovery, she continues to face challenges. Currently staying with relatives temporarily, she is actively working with CARES to secure affordable housing and has been connected to housing assistance. She hopes to return to part-time work and enroll her daughter in daycare. To support this transition, the mother is requesting new clothing and shoes for her daughter, including shirts and shorts (size 7/8), tennis shoes or sandals (size 12–1), and hair ties. The child especially enjoys Bluey, Minecraft, Roblox, and anything princess-themed, with favorite colors being pink and purple—though the mother noted that anything in any color would be appreciated. Providing these items would not only help her daughter feel confident and prepared to start daycare but also ease financial pressure, allowing the mother to focus her limited resources on securing housing and transportation.

Help Maintain Work Transportation

When hardship hits, we turn to our church family. A dedicated single mom of 4, who also cares for a young adult who has aged out of the foster care system, needs our help. She works full-time as a home health aide driving up to 70 miles a day to care for her clients, part of what she does is taking them to appointments, and picking up prescriptions and groceries. She also drives her kids to school daily. One afternoon, after school pickup, she was hit by a driver who fled the scene. Thankfully, she and the kids were unharmed, but her car was badly damaged and had to be towed. With no backup vehicle, she’s rented a car for 3 weeks to keep working and caring for her family but she can’t afford to keep renting a car. To keep insurance affordable, she has a high deductible. She’s saved $600 but still needs $1,400 to get her car out of the body shop this week. The body shop won’t accept payments, and the charities she contacted don’t cover this type of need. The children’s father is not involved or supportive. Church family, let’s come together and help this hardworking mom and her kids get their car back. No gift is too small. Please select “Fund” when donating. Every dollar makes a difference!

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

127 Place received a request from a member of a local church for a mom with three pre-school-age kids who are living in a motel. This family is from out-of-town looking for safety and a new life. They have no family support. They were just approved for an apartment with a move-in date of June 1, but they need help with deposits.

Mom started a job recently and has raised about half of the deposits. 127 Place is committing $500, but that leaves about $400 still needed for the deposits.

They do have beds, but nothing else, so 127 Place will also be working to provide other essentials for them to get started in their apartment. If you would like to help with donations for this family, please contact me by email ******@email.com or by text,(###) ###-####.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

A young family of 2 children ages 1 and 7 years old are requesting a washer and dryer as they moved into a house from an apartment. The couple have been here from Venezuela for about 2.5 years and help out at Centro Cristiano a Las Naciones with leading music. They moved from an apartment which had a washer and dryer and now they need to provide for their own. The father is looking for work and does odd jobs to help pay for rent, bills, food, clothing, etc. A washer and dryer will help mom take care of her kids so that they will be able to attend school and help their hygiene. Thank you for your help.
