1 Child 3 Adults

1 child, male, 14 years old Walmart Gift Card This child's Mother is currently incarcerated and financially unable to meet the child's basic needs while being in jail. The child has no Father. The child's roommates have agreed to provide the child with basic needs, supervision, and protection/safety until Mother is released or alternative arrangements are made for Mother. The child's roommates need help financially with groceries and clothes as the child is a growing teenage boy. The child only has one pair of pants for school. This will help prevent further DHS involvement at this time.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

The family has a nasty sectional that they got second hand. They said it had some serious stains on it when they got it. It smells really bad and has mysterious brown crusty stains and liquid staing on the cushions. The family struggles with keeping their house clean. They just moved into new housing. So far, it's visibly clean, but smells bad partially because of the couch. This is this child's removal home with bio mother and father. They are low income and don't have the money for furniture right now. We're trying to help them get more motivation to keep their house clean. We believe a new(ish) stain-free couch would be motivating, healthier, and better for the family to spend time on. Thank you for your consideration.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

Hello, I have a single mother of 3 children who needs some assistance. Mother has recently started her new job but is struggling with gas money trying to make it to work and to get her children to their appointments. The family has been working with children’s division and during our time we have found out that the children would like to participate in sports as well. The children are needing some shoes so they can participate in sports. We have a boy size 8, a girl size 5 and another girl size 7.5. Once this need is met this will allow mom to get back and forth to work along with getting her children to their appointments. Getting the children into sports will help them build a connection with other children and help their mental health.

We have a family in our community that urgently needs help. They are currently behind on their rent because the mother has had her hours cut due to serious health issues. We kindly ask you to consider assisting this young mother with her two small children in paying their rent.

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.

Help Improve an Adult’s Well-Being

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.

She has been diligently working toward securing stable housing, and she’s finally moving into her very own place on the 31st of this month.
