A grandmother who has of her 4-year-old grandchild living with her needs to have a washer and dryer in the home to ensure the child has access to clean clothing and bedding at all times, which is essential for their health, hygiene, and overall well-being. Having an in-home washer and dryer provides the grandmother with the convenience and ability to respond quickly to these needs. It also helps maintain a stable, clean, and nurturing environment, which is critical for the child’s development and emotional security. Grandmother cannot afford to buy washer and dryer due to limited income.

Single mother of two has recently left a bad relationship and moved into new housing. She has been slowly getting things she needs but is still in need of a few items.

After surviving abuse and escaping her trafficker, this survivor has a chance to start a new life. Nine years ago, she became homeless after losing her job and being evicted with her young son. With nowhere stable to go, she sent her son to stay with a friend temporarily. During this vulnerable time, she fell into the hands of a trafficker. That same friend later convinced her to sign over guardianship of her child, which became permanent. After suffering a brutal assault at the hands of her trafficker, she was determined to break away and rebuild her life. Despite her securing employment, the cost of child support and housing costs, made reuniting with her son difficult. She entered the Orange County Rescue Mission, completed court-ordered therapy, parenting classes, and drug testing, earned her GED, and enrolled in college, all while fighting for custody for her son. Today, she has been approved for Section 8 housing and finally has a safe, stable apartment. However, before she can move in and receive custody of her son, she needs a few essential items: a refrigerator and a mattress. With your support, we can help provide these basics, and with them, restore hope, dignity, and the foundation for a fresh start for her and her son. Once she’s settled into her new apartment, she plans to petition the court to end the guardianship and reunite with her son. Your generosity can help make this life changing moment possible.
