Story

•
2 Children 1 Adult

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out on behalf of a single mother of two boys who is currently facing significant financial hardship. Recently, her children were returned to her care after a period in foster care, and the emotional and financial challenges have been overwhelming.

She is in urgent need of rental assistance to help secure stable housing for her family. We are requesting a one-time donation of $350 to assist with her rent this month. Any contribution would be greatly appreciated and would provide much-needed relief during this difficult time.

Thank you for considering supporting this family in need. Your generosity will make a meaningful difference in their lives.

Help a Senior Improve their Living Condition

Please help us to meet the need for a powered mower. We have an adult son thriving in our recovery community who provides care for his aging mother. He is reestablishing a life in sobriety and she is on a fixed income, so their resources are limited. They're currently unable to mow her lawn. Thank you blessing this family!

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

There is a 18 year-old senior who was previously a foster child. The court had granted an aunt permanent managing conservatorship of her in her early teens. Before the age of 17 years old, her and her aunt had some disagreements and she was kicked out of her aunt's home. She has been couch surfing with relatives and friends, but has had to take care of herself over the last year. She does not have any family supports. She currently lives with two roommates, but has to maintain a job while preparing to graduate in two weeks. During Christmas a teacher donated a gift card where I was able to buy her hygiene products and toiletries. She has made those last up until this last week. The student just needs more to get her through the next couple weeks. She will sustain herself once she graduates by living with her boyfriend's family. However, she does not want to risk burdening them before she moves in so she tries to independently care for her own needs. Currently, she needs special shampoo and conditioner and body wash due to her allergies and some other hygiene products. She is also in need of a couple groceries to get her through this next two weeks. A gift card or even providing specific groceries due to space and time would benefit her greatly. Also, any emotional support or kindness would go a long way with this student as she prepares to graduate with little family supports.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A donated refrigerator will have a significant impact on the overall well-being of this food-insecure family. With reliable refrigeration, they can safely store fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, and other nutritious foods that were previously out of reach due to lack of storage. This directly benefits the child’s health by supporting consistent access to balanced meals, which are essential for growth, development, and academic performance. For the family, it reduces stress around daily food planning, cuts down on food waste, and allows them to take advantage of food assistance programs more effectively. Ultimately, the refrigerator is more than just an appliance—it’s a step toward greater food security, stability, and improved quality of life for the entire household. This family has 3 children of various ages attending elementary and middle school and 3 adults living in the home. One adult is a stay at home care taker for an elderly relative.

Help Improve an Adult’s Well-Being

A member of Doxa shared a request where they would benefit in having another bed since they assist their neighbor kids while their mom works doubles to make ends meet. Having a bed will allow her to serve the kids in having their own space when they spend the evenings over.

I placed Full/Double, but if you have a twin that works too. Let me know if you have any of the items or want to contribute. Kayley and myself, Nikolai, would be the contact person and I can handle PU and drop off of these items. Thanks y’all!

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!
