2 Children

A family needs help with getting some kind of dressers for 2 children. The children's clothes are currently all over the floor and one of the children has medical needs that limits his mobility. It would be very helpful if the children had a place to put clothes so the child can get around the home. It doesn't have to be a wood dresser, it can be one of the cheap ones with cloth storage bins.

This family is also in need of a twin mattress and frame

We have a dresser available. Our team is working on replacing a couple broken drawer pulls, but it should be ready to go by the weekend.

I just found a 3 drawer wood dresser on FB Marketplace. I am picking it up tomorrow (3/26) morning around 10:00. I also have a metal bed frame available - just the frame, no box spring nor mattress.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A couple serves as guardians to a middle school boy. Due to unforeseen medical conditions, the male guardian has been hospitalized and is undergoing treatment. He was the primary provider, and now the increasing medical expenses have put a strain on the family. His wife initially faced challenges in applying for medical insurance but has finally managed to schedule an appointment for an insurance consultation. The family intends to apply for benefits; however, this process will take time, and as a result of the rising medical costs, their food supply has become limited. They are seeking assistance in the form of a grocery gift card to help alleviate some of their financial stress. While they are enrolled in the backpack program, the canned food provided is insufficient. The family also utilizes food pantries when transportation allows. Should assistance be granted, it would enable them to purchase food that meets their needs.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

We are making this request for up to $250 to help pay a family's delinquent Power Bill. $146 is due now and another $100 is due for this month. The mother was working at Dawgz n More, but the business had to be closed when a truck ran into its store front, breaking the front class and making the business inoperable. The mother was laid off and had to begin working at Waffle House in Rincon and that was generating less money than her job at Dawgz n More was paying. Paying this power bill would allow the mother to spend on other resources for her 3 small children ages 8, 5 and 3

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

This request is made to support the kinship placement of an 8-month-old boy who was sadly abandoned at birth and is now in the care of a non-relative caregiver. To ensure his continued care and well-being, we are seeking assistance with Enfamil Infant Formula (the yellow can), size 3 diapers (with no specific brand preference at this time), and baby wipes. Your generous support will greatly assist the caregiver in meeting the child’s immediate needs. The caregiver is incredibly grateful for any help provided, and this blessing will be deeply appreciated. Thank you for your kindness and consideration.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

Recently, a client visited us for a pregnancy test and ultrasound. She was aware of her pregnancy but unsure of the gestational age and hadn't yet consulted a doctor. We performed a viability ultrasound and discovered she is 29 weeks pregnant with twins. Understandably, this news was surprising for her, and she immediately started considering the logistics of caring for two babies. She has asked if we could assist her in obtaining a double stroller. Here is the link to the stroller the new mom is seeking : <a href="https://a.co/d/08v9qle" target="_blank"><span class="italic text-brand">Go To Link</span></a> Thank you, RealOptions Obria Medical Clinic of Oakland

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.

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.
