Story

•
1 Child 1 Adult

Hello! I have a single mother that is in need of getting help for some car repairs so that she and her daughter can get back to South Dakota by the end of next week. The child was previously being cared for by extended family, however due to serious allegations, she is unable to go back to them and her mother is needing to relocate with her out of state. The family has been through a lot of trauma and the father is no longer living. Her car is in need of a new muffler, oil change, and possibly new brakes. This mother would greatly appreciate the help. Thank you!

It sounds like Christian Brothers Automotive can help with at least the oil change and brakes. I'll reach out to arrange details

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

We are a loving family of six, comprised of four wonderful girls aged 7, twins aged 12, and a vibrant 16-year-old. Recently reunited with their forever home after foster care, the twins need special support to ensure their transition is as smooth as possible. We are seeking pull-ups in size 5T/6T and some regular children’s underwear to keep our little ones comfortable. Clothing and food assistance would greatly benefit our family during this time. Given that the twins are medically fragile, a sturdy wagon would be a wonderful help for taking all the children on joyful walks with their parents. Lastly, if possible, we are hoping to acquire medical equipment like feeding tube holders to ensure the twins receive the care they need. Your generosity would mean the world to us as we navigate this journey together. Thank you for considering our family's needs!

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

Mother and three small children are in need of one twin trundle bed (a twin bed with another twin bed stored underneath). They also need one twin mattress, one zipable waterproof mattress pad, three bed pillows, and three sets of twin bed sheets. The children are ages 6, 4 and 3. The six-year-old has special needs. He currently has a bunk bed that is unsafe and damaged. The child has a history of becoming injured while climbing up and down the bunk bed. He recently had surgery for club feet and is unsteady. The two younger are not able to safely use the bunk bed. The bedroom is very small and there is no room for three existing beds, so we are asking for a trundle bed. Mother does not have finances to fulfill this need on her own. Mother is also dealing health issues and is currently not able to work. *Please note in needs section I was not able to request "trundle bed twin". Thank you

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

Two brothers need assistance on multiple levels. Their mother died two years ago and the oldest son, who has been trying to keep the family together, has lost his employment. The youngest of the two brothers is low-functioning and has special needs that are not being met because of the lack of income.Aassistance is needed for helping the two get their affairs in order related to legal, household, and other needs. They appear to need a steady influence that could get them on their feet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

A single mother of three is facing a difficult season. Despite living with a disability that prevents her from working right now, she is taking classes to earn an LVN license at a local university, taking a bold step toward a better future for her family. But the road ahead is still steep. She’s currently working with a lawyer to extend her workers' compensation so she can receive a surgery on her spine that she urgently needs. In the meantime, she’s struggling to keep up with her car payments which are her only means of transportation to medical appointments, and her children’s activities. Amid these challenges, there is light: her daughter recently made the beautiful decision to accept Christ and be baptized at our Lake Forest campus, a moment of joy and hope for the entire family. This is a family full of love, faith, and determination. Any support no matter how small would mean the world to them. Your kindness could help keep them moving forward during this critical time. Please select “FUND” when donating.

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

Dear Team Sherry, this is our final update! Sherry, Kaya, and Kennedy are packing and preparing for the big move at the end of June. Kaya and Kennedy will move into their grandfather’s home in Yorba Linda and commute to Saddleback College. Kennedy graduated high school, got her permit, and will have her license soon. Kaya is carefully planning her transfer to Fullerton College in another year. Cameron remains in New York and is doing well. Sherry will be moving to Nevada to live with a longtime friend. It’s an emotional shift after many years living together, but this past year has been a gift. Thanks to your support, Sherry provided a stable home, helped Cameron begin a new path, supported Kaya’s growth, and celebrated Kennedy’s graduation all in their family home. While the family will no longer live together, they’re ending this chapter with something meaningful: Sherry, Kaya, and Kennedy will all serve as volunteers at Royal Family Kids Camp in late June. It’s a full-circle moment, as giving back to other foster families has always been a passion of theirs. Sherry says this year has been nothing short of a gift from God and that your generosity and prayers was the conduit of that blessing. On behalf of Max, thank you for stepping out in faith and making a lasting difference. Your support was not just financial it was a message of hope and love, and it changed the course of a family’s life. Thank you, Team Sherry! Please select “FUND” when donating.

Alleviate Food/Essentials Insecurity

The client is seeking assistance with her South Central Power bill, which is scheduled for disconnection on June 3, 2025, due to a past-due balance of $349.60. She is able to contribute $100 toward the amount owed.

The client recently experienced significant hardship, including a divorce followed by a car accident that was not her fault. As a result, she was temporarily unable to work and fell behind on her bills. She has since returned to full-time employment and now has a sustainable income.

Given her current circumstances and demonstrated effort toward self-sufficiency, she has been referred to InterFaith for possible assistance.
