1 Child 1 Adult

We are currently asking assistance in obtaining a prom suit and shoes for a foster youth. This youth is residing with his sister, who was in the army & was a formal foster youth herself. The youth is currently a senior in high school and is doing very well in school. Initially, he had not planned to attend his prom as he did not have money for his prom ticket. But a couple of days ago, he changed his mind, once the School Social Worker provided him with a free prom ticket. The youth missed the big CASA event for a free prom suit. The Children Social Worker and the ILP Coordinator reached out to the CASA worker & other DCFS staff, in the office, in search of a prom suit with no luck. We are asking if a church would be able to assist this youth with a prom suit and shoes. This youth is a well manner, and respectful youth that enjoys playing his guitar. This youth is doing really well in school and is on track to graduate. He plans to go to college. He recently got accepted and plans to attend California State University Northridge. Now that he was given a free prom ticket, he really wants to go to his prom and is in need of a prom suit and shoes. Thank you.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

🌟 Careportal Story Post 🌟

We are reaching out to support a loving single mother of five who is facing some challenges. Her daughter and twin boys have been struggling to sleep on air mattresses, which is starting to affect their focus and energy in the classroom. To help them rest better, we are kindly requesting donations of mattresses and box springs for their beds. Additionally, the mom is seeking assistance in obtaining a pair of birth certificates for her twin boys, as they prepare to start school for the first time in August.

Any help you can provide would mean the world to this family and make a positive impact on the children's lives. Thank you for your kindness and support! 💖

He is currently living on his on for the first time and is in extended foster care. This youth is in need of a couch and a dinette set. This youth is polite, never in trouble, and is trying to complete his high school diploma. He is on track to graduate. Right now he is feeling overwhelmed.

Our foster family of 7 with a baby on the way is in need of a meal train the week their baby is born (due date is May 3rd). We're hoping to have 5+ people sign up to each bring a large meal (10 servings) the week the baby is born.

Alleviate Food/Essentials Insecurity

Hello, I am wondering if you can donate a food gift card to our family of 5. Yes we do go to local food banks frequently however my wife just recently went through a very traumatic pregnancy and our son arrived 6 weeks early and spent 5 in the NICU and we were driving 40 miles to and from the hospital. I have never asked for a handout on my life however right now money is tight. Even a gift card to food Lion would be a big blessing Regards, Marine veteran post 9/11
