One of our young couples is separating and we want to help this dad out! He is a great father but recently lost his job and last month couldn't pay the bills. We are trying to increase his ability to have custody of the girls, but last week wasn't able to even afford groceries for himself. We want to get him back on his feet and have his space be a place that is safe and prepared to have his girls with him!

One of our young couples has split up and we are trying to create safe environments for both of them and to house their two kids in this tough transition. To be able to pay the bills they are switching schools for their youngest (a huge transition with a house move and school move) and need a few items for her preschool. They are also all sharing a twin bed and could use another twin mattress. One of the daughters lost all her sweaters in the move. She is requesting gray, black, or purple Size ⅞. shoes size 10 kids. Night lamp for kids room.

These young teenage boys were placed with their uncle in April of this year. Until then, their uncle lived alone. He has taken on the responsibility of two teenage boys, ages 15 and 16. Given a weekend to get to know one another, now is the time to build stability in the home. To provide a safe environment for the teenagers and assist their uncle in the added responsibilities.
The boys are in need of beds. They have been sleeping on living room furniture since moving in. They have gotten to know each other better and after they discussed their options, Uncle reports that the boys aren't picky about colors or sports. They are only asking for full size beds, mattresses and bedding. They all seem to be apprehensive. This is a trust building project! Having these young men bond with a single male family member can be magical.

Recently, two children were placed in the care and custody of Children's Division due to significant concerns. The grandmother in this case has graciously agreed to be placement for these two babies. Unfortunately, she has only one vehicle that does not have a bunch of space for two babies, as both the car seats will not fit in the back seat while she has to drive the car. (18-month-old and 3-month-old) This family does not have any additional supports that can assist them and the grandmother has graciously decided to keep placement of these babies in order for them to remain together with family and not be separated after the trauma they have already endured. Children's Division is requesting assistance in getting this grandmother a different vehicle in order for her to be able to transport these children to doctor appointments and meet their other needs. A need for $6000 has been entered; however, I am uncertain the amount of money that might be needed to meet this request.

The client is a hardworking grandmother who became the full-time guardian of her grandchild after the child’s mother passed away. With no strong support system in Florida, she works full-time and commutes by bus while her car is in the shop—all to provide stability and care. Her grandchild, a middle school Honor Roll student, is in urgent need of a laptop to keep up with schoolwork. Their only computer is old and too expensive to repair. The grandmother is also actively involved in the Triple P Program, showing her dedication to parenting and growth. A new laptop would make a world of difference, giving this bright student the tools they need to succeed. Additional items requested: Tops size XL (any price, adequate to wear at school and Sundays), Pants size 16 sweat pants; jeans size 16-18 (also no price specified). Shoes 8.0 wide tennis shoes. Tablet for teen to be able to study at home. *****NOTE: “This request is being submitted by Center for Family Services of Palm Beach County on behalf of the client. Due to policies for accreditation, we are asking that churches who are willing to serve this client, please meet the client at the facility. We are located at 4101 Parker Avenue West Palm Beach, 33405. Beforehand, we thank you for your willingness and commitment to serve our community.”

A grandmother who is welcoming her 2-year-old grandson into her care is in need of assistance with the security deposit for a new apartment. This little one had previously been living in another kinship placement and has now been placed with his grandma. At just 2 years old, this child has already experienced a great deal of transition. Providing him with a stable, loving home is absolutely essential to his development and well-being. Children at this age need consistency, safety, and nurturing relationships to begin forming healthy attachments and to feel secure in the world around them. This apartment would give both grandma and her grandson a fresh start—a safe, stable environment where they can begin to create a sense of home and routine. It’s more than just housing; it’s a critical step toward healing, stability, and long-term success for this little one. Let’s come together to support this kinship placement and help lay a strong foundation for their future.

She's single, has 2 jobs, 2 kids. She will be moving into an apartment in the next few weeks and has assistance in doing that. She recently got into a car accident due to the fault of the person who ran rear ended her. The other driver was taken under arrest because he was under the influence of narcotics. Her son was sick and in the hospital for a few days in a row and she could not work during those days. She is behind on money because of those days she could not work. She is $286 short on her rent at Extended Stay.

Mom needs two twin-size bed frames, mattresses, and bedding sets for her son and daughter.

JD knows of a woman who needs help with a hearing aid deductible. He tried to receive assistance through Passport but was denied through two different programs. Her deductible is $250. She lives in Pickerington and I have her name, address and phone number on hand.

We have an opportunity to help a large family through a really tough time. Thanks to our general fund donors, we were able to purchase the dishwasher. Please consider funding the junk removal to help this family clear their space and minds. Please pray for protection and that they will be able to stay together through their current circumstances. Thank you for your generosity, Courtney
