Story

•
2 Children 2 Adults

This family is in desperate need of assistance for an exterminator, as there is an infestation of bed bugs in the bedroom. The family, two grandparents and two children (5 years old and an older sibling), are currently under facing a financial hardship due to the grandmother recently going through a serious surgery. The grandfather is physically limited and is unable to work. Due to that, they are unable to gather the entire funds to obtain an exterminator to solve the bed bug issue. We are asking for money to put forth for an exterminator. All donations are welcomed.

Help Support a Youth Aging Out

We have a 17-year-old girl who recently got a job at Taco Bell. She doesn't have much time between school and her shifts, and a bike would help her make it to work on time. It's a 30-minute walk, but a bike would reduce barriers to her getting to work on time and more efficiently.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

We are reaching out to request help for a family of 5 that is looking for support for their utility bill. The mother worked full time at Panburys in Etchwood for 13 years, and it has permanently closed. The father works at a factory but has reduced hours. The family has recieved a disconnection notice, and can not afford to pay what they owe due to the mother losing her job, and the father barely being able to work. We can share the Georgia Power log in information so you can log in directly, or can accept a donation through the Agape Youth and Family website. Any help would be deeply appreciated as they navigate this difficult period.

Alleviate Food/Essentials Insecurity

Please consider helping a single mom and her 2 year old daughter here in our Scottsville community. They are in need of a refrigerator as theirs went out and now they do not have one. This would help them keep cold food instead of just shelf food for meals. This single mom works multiple jobs including an in-home bakery. Appliances are very expensive and finances are tight for her. Not only would this help with their food but it would also help her continue her business and the flow of income.

We have contacted Doug's Maytag in Scottsville and they have a new Amana for $667 or a new Whirlpool for $754. There is a $79 delivery fee and they will remove and dispose of the old one for her.

If you do not have a refrigerator to give, please consider giving financially through Go To Link In the "Give To" section select "Single Mom's Ministry" with a note for "Refrigerator".

Help Make a Foster Care Placement

We are in urgent need of funding to purchase two mattresses (we highly recommend with waterproof covers) for a foster family who is working to get siblings placed in their home. As part of the placement transition, they will be hosting the children for some overnight visits soon and they have worked to purchase beds for their home. As a result, they are asking for help in purchasing the mattresses to put on the beds due to the sudden financial strain. These kids will be looking to make this home a permanent placement, so these items would be for use long into the future. If you can support this family from our own church in some (or all!) of these items, please donate now. If you have bedding items available that you can donate, please mention that. We would like to purchase the mattresses brand new. Thank you for your consideration and support!
