Good morning. I'm working with an amazing student athlete, who is also a peer counselor at our local high school, who suddenly lost her only active parent (Father) over Spring Break. She is 17 yrs old and an only child. I'm hoping to ease the financial burden a bit by taking care of her Senior activities so that she can focus on her dad's service and finish her Senior year celebrating with her fellow peers. Any help is very much appreciated!

Hello, We have a 12-year-old girl that we have placed with a maternal grandmother. The maternal grandmother is on a fixed income and needs a cot for her granddaughter to sleep. She will be sleeping in her grandmother's bedroom and there is not enough room for a twin bed. We are hoping someone can donate a cot with padding. Temu and Amazon has some foldable cots that have cushions for under $100.00. We are hoping someone can order one and donate to this family. Thank you for considering this request.

A teen just came into care and was removed from her bio mom a few months ago. She had braids when she came into custody in her hair but they came out and she has been wearing a head wrap because she is embarrassed about her hair. In order to preserve her culture and make her feel better about her appearance we want to get her hair done by an African American Stylist. We have a program called the Walker Foundation which will connect her to an African American stylist to do her hair at a reduced price but still need the funds to pay for it.

A local family lost everything they own in a recent house fire. They have found a new rental, but they lost everything in the fire and they are rebuilding from scratch. They have a seven-year-old daughter. This family is connected with the Sumter School District.

Mother of 3 in the district reached out for assistance, as the last few months have been rough for their family. Her fiancé was in a horrible car accident in late December and has just now started walking again. She has been taking care of him, her children, and then in January, she took in her newborn nephew so her sister did not put him up for adoption. She has requested help with household items such as laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, and toiletries. Also, any baby boy clothes from 12-24 months, size 4 diapers, and a gas card to assist with going back and forth to the city for appointments.

Recently, this mother made the courageous decision to leave a long-term, mentally abusive marriage to seek a better environment and home for her 11-year-old son and herself. She has also started taking college classes to get her degree to provide future support. She is participating in Pathway's DivorceCare where she is building supportive relationships as she starts this new journey with her son. She is moving into her own apartment and is needing some essential items. Their favorite color is any color of blue. Her son is also a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs. Her bedroom set is the queen size and his is the full size.

The washer & dryer can be used ones that are in good working condition. Thanks for supporting this family!

A family in our church had a five year old girl placed with them yesterday. She arrived with very little and needs basic items. She will be moving schools and the family has asked that she have some new items to ease this transition, along with every day items.

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. This will make a tremendous difference for this family as they transition into life with a newborn.

A father has recently gotten housing and needs items for him and his son to be comfortable in their home. A few items are listed but the apartment needs all the basics for living. Financial assistance is also welcome to help purchase needed items.

A couple in our church community are expecting their first baby in a few weeks. The mom-to-be would greatly appreciate if someone could come to their home and put together a dresser while her husband is away at basic training. They are located in Cary.
