Story

•
3 Children 1 Adult

I'm working with a mom who has recently gotten out of a 6 month rehab program and is working to get back on her feet. She has three kids who are placed with family. Mom was accepted into a program to help with housing and she recently moved into an apartment. Prior to entering rehab, she lost most of her belongings and her house was sold. She is starting over and trying to slowly put her home together so it is suitable for her, and eventually the kids. Some of her major needs are bedding (sheets, fitted sheets, pillow cases), bath towels, and dishes (she mentioned drinking glasses would be helpful). Anything would be appreciated so she can focus on getting back into a routine, save money, and work towards reunification with her kids.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

A devoted and supportive caregiver is currently providing care for a three-year-old toddler boy and a 10-month-old baby boy through Kinship Care. He has courageously taken on the full responsibility of raising both children on his own, without outside assistance. While he is in the process of applying for financial benefits to help support the children, there are still urgent needs.

One of the pressing needs is for two dressers to help organize the children's belongings. With two growing boys, having proper storage is essential for maintaining order and creating a safe, functional living environment. Having dedicated dressers for each child would greatly improve daily routines and ease the caregiver’s ability to manage the household. Any support in providing these furniture items would be deeply appreciated and would go a long way in supporting this caregiver’s selfless efforts.

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

Dear Team Sherry, this is our final update! Sherry, Kaya, and Kennedy are packing and preparing for the big move at the end of June. Kaya and Kennedy will move into their grandfather’s home in Yorba Linda and commute to Saddleback College. Kennedy graduated high school, got her permit, and will have her license soon. Kaya is carefully planning her transfer to Fullerton College in another year. Cameron remains in New York and is doing well. Sherry will be moving to Nevada to live with a longtime friend. It’s an emotional shift after many years living together, but this past year has been a gift. Thanks to your support, Sherry provided a stable home, helped Cameron begin a new path, supported Kaya’s growth, and celebrated Kennedy’s graduation all in their family home. While the family will no longer live together, they’re ending this chapter with something meaningful: Sherry, Kaya, and Kennedy will all serve as volunteers at Royal Family Kids Camp in late June. It’s a full-circle moment, as giving back to other foster families has always been a passion of theirs. Sherry says this year has been nothing short of a gift from God and that your generosity and prayers was the conduit of that blessing. On behalf of Max, thank you for stepping out in faith and making a lasting difference. Your support was not just financial it was a message of hope and love, and it changed the course of a family’s life. Thank you, Team Sherry! Please select “FUND” when donating.

Alleviate Food/Essentials Insecurity

The client is seeking assistance with her South Central Power bill, which is scheduled for disconnection on June 3, 2025, due to a past-due balance of $349.60. She is able to contribute $100 toward the amount owed.

The client recently experienced significant hardship, including a divorce followed by a car accident that was not her fault. As a result, she was temporarily unable to work and fell behind on her bills. She has since returned to full-time employment and now has a sustainable income.

Given her current circumstances and demonstrated effort toward self-sufficiency, she has been referred to InterFaith for possible assistance.
