Story

•
1 Child

15 y/o teen boy is asking for assistance in securing a laptop. Despite everything life has thrown at him, he has managed to put effort into improving his grades and engage in enrichment activities, all while actively seeking employment and preparing for his permit exam. He has expressed his challenges without a laptop, which hinders his studies and other online activities crucial for his development, such as job applications, potential career paths, and pursuing his hobbies like producing music. As he progresses and matures, having a reliable laptop will greatly enhance his ability to navigate resources effectively and allow him to save money for a car. Your support would be extremely appreciated in helping him achieve his goals and setting a strong foundation for his future.

Thank you for considering this request in empowering young individuals like this teen.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

The caregiver is the maternal great grandmother who currently has placement of her 16 year old and 3 year old great grandchildren. She is 65, retired, and is in need of a deep cleaning service for her home (2 floors). Both children have extremely high needs, opposite schedules, and are both diagnosed with developmental delays and engaged many behavioral support services includeing ABA, Occupational therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech therapy, and behavioral health services weekly. The oldest child recently brought cats into the home that had 5 babies, and soiled their floors, and some furniture. Cleanliness was not a concern prior. Although the kittens have been rehomed, due to their presence, the children’s schedules, and the caregiver being a senior, the caregiver has only been able to manage spot cleaning, rather than a full cleaning and re-organizing of the home. A thorough deep cleaning and home organization would create a healthier, safer environment essential for the children’s well-being and therapy progress. This one-time support would relieve her stress, allowing her to focus fully on enriching the children’s lives and maintaining their placement in a safe, stable, nurturing home. The caregiver is also open to weekly meal drop off or ongoing support in other capacities.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

Title: Urgent Need: Forward-Facing Car Seat for Toddler in New Family

Request Summary: A mother of two, new to the country, is in urgent need of a safe, forward-facing car seat for her 2-year-old daughter. While the family currently has a car seat, it does not buckle securely, creating a serious safety risk for the child.

Detailed Description: This family recently arrived in the U.S. and is working hard to establish stability and safety for their children. The mother has expressed concern that her toddler’s current car seat is not functioning properly, and she fears for her daughter’s safety while traveling.

We are seeking a forward-facing car seat with a 5-point harness that can eventually convert into a booster seat. This will provide long-term use as the child grows and will help the mother ensure her child is properly secured during travel.

Providing this essential item will ease a significant burden for this mother and offer peace of mind that her daughter is safe on the road.

Specific Need:

Forward-facing car seat with 5-point harness (convertible to booster)

Why This Matters: This support will allow the child to travel safely and legally, supporting this family’s journey toward stability in a new country.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

North Dakota

Hello, I have a case with four children who are placed in North Dakota on an ICPC. These children need their birth certificates and social security cards. The children were all born in North Dakota and the cost of a birth certificate is $15 each. The oldest child is 17 and hoping to join the National Guard but needs his paperwork to be able to do so. A VISA gift card or cash would be very helpful in being able to acquire these. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this request.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

Mother and dad of newborn have been living in their car for 14 months. Baby is now 2 months old. They both work and pay car payments but cannot afford to get established in an apartment or home. Baby is growing and they are in desperate need to have a different living situation for their family. They have been sleeping in a classroom on the floor of our church 3 nights a week, for this past month and the church cannot sustain this arrangement indefinitely. They are very polite, hardworking, clean and cooperative. We have prayed about this and believe a camper would be the best goal for them at this time. They can afford an RV park with utilities and start to get a lead on a permanent residence.

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

We are seeking urgent support for a family with two children at risk of losing stable housing. The family is currently facing eviction, with a balance of $3,587 due. If the balance is paid before the court date, they will be allowed to remain in their home. The mother is actively working side jobs and may be able to contribute a portion of the amount.

This support request is focused on preserving housing stability for the children, ensuring they are not displaced and can remain in a safe, familiar environment. Assistance toward this housing need would directly prevent trauma and disruption in their lives.

Please consider helping keep this family together and housed.

Help Improve an Adult’s Well-Being

Again, we are out of beds with the other recent arrivals and the funds that were normally given to the refugee resettlement agencies being stopped. For these two families again, we need beds (always) and another coffee table.

Glocal has already provided through community donations other furniture that they needed along with household goods. always feel free to inquire more about our programs .

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

Although it may seem unlikely, we are still seeing families arrive through the refugee process. They come with basically nothing and through Glocal, we provide them new and gently used items donated through the community to help them get started in their first home in the Treasure Valley. We have one large Afghan family of 9 that we have in temporary housing and will move into two apartments in the near future. We are short beds and tables for several families. this request is for the larger family that arrived a few weeks ago. To keep things less costly, they will need to put several children in one room and bunk beds will help. they also could use some coffee tables and end tables. Glocal has been able to provide them with their other needs through earlier donations.

Please if you can help with a gently used bed (clean mattress/box spring) or a table, please reach out!
