This student's family is at risk of losing their housing because of increasing prices and Grandma (guardian) losing her job. She is struggling to get unemployment or any other support. She works incredibly hard to take care of her grandson and who has a high level of needs. As the head of household for a house of 6 people, she does a huge amount of work.

Grandma just finished school and is hoping to find a job soon, but right now things are very difficult. The housing instability is causing our student increased stress during the school day, which is greatly impacting his ability to control his emotions at school and learn. He has gone through a huge amount of trauma in his life, so any additional stressors cause him to become very disregulated.

Household members:

Grandma Great-grandfather 13 year old 20 year old 8 year old (our student) 11 month old

I gave grandma a financial assistance resource, but support in other ways would be incredibly appreciated to help this student be more successful in school and for the family to maintain their housing.

Grandma indicates the major need is assistance with food. Feeding a family of 6 is very expensive. Any gift card or delivery of groceries would be appreciated. (Walmart, Cub, etc). Thank you.

Please help us to meet the need for a powered mower. We have an adult son thriving in our recovery community who provides care for his aging mother. He is reestablishing a life in sobriety and she is on a fixed income, so their resources are limited. They're currently unable to mow her lawn. Thank you blessing this family!

There is a 18 year-old senior who was previously a foster child. The court had granted an aunt permanent managing conservatorship of her in her early teens. Before the age of 17 years old, her and her aunt had some disagreements and she was kicked out of her aunt's home. She has been couch surfing with relatives and friends, but has had to take care of herself over the last year. She does not have any family supports. She currently lives with two roommates, but has to maintain a job while preparing to graduate in two weeks. During Christmas a teacher donated a gift card where I was able to buy her hygiene products and toiletries. She has made those last up until this last week. The student just needs more to get her through the next couple weeks. She will sustain herself once she graduates by living with her boyfriend's family. However, she does not want to risk burdening them before she moves in so she tries to independently care for her own needs. Currently, she needs special shampoo and conditioner and body wash due to her allergies and some other hygiene products. She is also in need of a couple groceries to get her through this next two weeks. A gift card or even providing specific groceries due to space and time would benefit her greatly. Also, any emotional support or kindness would go a long way with this student as she prepares to graduate with little family supports.

I am requesting support for a single mother currently experiencing a high-risk pregnancy. She is due at the end of June and is in need of the following assistance to help maintain a safe and healthy home environment: Deep Cleaning of her Home, Laundry Service (drop off and pick-up if possible), food storage shelving installation or support in her kitchen to help organize and maximize space, and an air conditioning window unit. This Mom has had health issues and is struggling to keep up on house hold chores with an active 2 year old. The family lives on the second floor of a walk up and does not have access to a washing machine and currently does not have the necessary ability or transportation to bring her laundry to a laundromat. The home is also very warm due to a lack of air conditioning. Any help or resources available to assist her during this challenging time would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your support and care.

A mother recently out of the hospital requests help with securing a bus pass so that she can attend substance abuse treatment and regain custody of her son.

A single father requests help for diapers and wipes for a two month old baby. This father recently discovered that he is not the biological father of the baby, but is determined to care for him as his own.

A member of Doxa shared a request where they would benefit in having another bed since they assist their neighbor kids while their mom works doubles to make ends meet. Having a bed will allow her to serve the kids in having their own space when they spend the evenings over.

I placed Full/Double, but if you have a twin that works too. Let me know if you have any of the items or want to contribute. Kayley and myself, Nikolai, would be the contact person and I can handle PU and drop off of these items. Thanks y’all!

We are in urgent need of funding to purchase two mattresses (we highly recommend with waterproof covers) for a foster family who is working to get siblings placed in their home. As part of the placement transition, they will be hosting the children for some overnight visits soon and they have worked to purchase beds for their home. As a result, they are asking for help in purchasing the mattresses to put on the beds due to the sudden financial strain. These kids will be looking to make this home a permanent placement, so these items would be for use long into the future. If you can support this family from our own church in some (or all!) of these items, please donate now. If you have bedding items available that you can donate, please mention that. We would like to purchase the mattresses brand new. Thank you for your consideration and support!

Mom is in need of two window air conditioner units for her apartment. Currently, the children are not able to sleep in their rooms because of the temperature (either too hot in the summer or no heat in the winter). Mom also needs a twin size mattress for a bedframe that she has for her daughter.
