Request: #223945 • Urgency: Normal • Demographic: Disaster Relief Request • City: West Hills • State: California • Zip Code: 91307 • County: Los Angeles • Submitted By: 211LA.org • Lead Church: Winds of Hope Ministries

Story

•
1 Adult

The client is a 33 yr old single male that is currently residing with the family of an acquaintance. The client has made mention that previously to the fires, he was a full time student, but the impact of the fires has halted that for him at the moment. He does not have a vehicle and has rather low income. Has been applying for housing programs, but so far has not had any success. Although he has applied for FEMA, it was declined, but he submitted an appeal and up until now has yet to hear anything back from them. He has mentioned that, because he doesn't really know the people he is currently living with, there is some tension between them, and he understands that because he is basically a stranger staying in their home, and the lack of luck in finding somewhere else or permanent housing, is causes a bit of a frustration. The client has mentioned that he lost just about everything since his home had been burned down to the ground. At the moment he is still looking for assistance of course with housing, but also clothing, transportation, food assistance, and has concerns with medical assistance, replacing furniture, and getting some assistance as a student. The request is to help the client with relieving that mental stress of housing, replacing the items he lost, and hopefully continuing going to school and helping him get back on his feet.

Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

A compassionate non-relative caregiver has taken in 11-month-old twins and is struggling financially to meet their basic needs. She urgently needs two cribs with mattresses and bedding to provide safe sleep and to meet licensing requirements for financial support. A double stroller is also needed to safely transport the children outside the home. Your help would make a huge difference in creating a safe, stable environment for these little ones.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A father at Point Church has recently regained custody of his children. He is in need of car seats for his 5 year old and 7 year old. The type of car seat that converts from a 5 point harness to a booster seat would be ideal. It would be a huge blessing for him to have these by June 6th so he can safely transport his children.

Help a Veteran with Medical Needs

We’re reaching out on behalf of a beloved retired pastor and former U.S. Marine who served at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. He’s now facing serious health issues, including bladder cancer, and chronic kidney disease linked to toxic water exposure during his service, in addition he’s had multiple strokes and has dementia. Though he qualifies under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, he’s not yet received any compensation or VA benefits. He currently lives in a board and care facility, but his Social Security falls $800 short each month. His wonderful daughter, who visits and helps care for him, has been covering the difference. Unfortunately, she suffered a medical emergency in March and hasn’t been able to work and has had to move in with a friend. Due to errors in processing her short-term disability, she hasn’t received income since then. Her close friends stepped in to help cover the past 2 months but they can no longer continue. With 2 months of unpaid board and care approaching, no clear timeline for when she’ll receive payment, and no other options, she is extremely worried about how she’ll cover the costs for June and July. We’re working on VA benefits and finding a more affordable facility if her income isn’t restored soon, but that is a lengthy process. In the meantime, we’re asking for your help to keep this faithful man who gave his life to serving God and our country in his current facility and not be forced onto the street. Please select “FUND” when giving.
