Story

•
1 Child 2 Adults

A family is in need of help. Two parents are in active recovery and working hard to put their lives back together. The father is now looking for steady work and performs odd jobs as he can find them. The family could use help obtaining items for their baby. The apartment has hard wood floors and, as the baby is now learning to stand, a carpet would help protect the infant from minor bumps and bruises during the learning process. Additional toys or items to help with infant development would also be welcome. If anyone can provide: an 8x10 carpet, baby jumper, walking toys, size four diapers and wipes, mesh pacifier, sippy cups, shoes for walking, and clothes 9-12 months: pants, onesies, shirts, summer clothes, and socks. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

This sibling group of five are placed in three separate homes at this time and we are wanting have a fun visit for all the siblings at the Discovery Lab and Gathering Place. The children do have behaviors due to being triggers for each other and we have found that the children respond better and have more fun when they have things they can play with while together. That is why we are requesting help to be able to take them to the discovery lab and gathering place for a day of fun together.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A young family with two very children is in need of temporary assistance with food, as their EBT card was siphoned and all of the funds were stolen. (two families I work with had this happen from the same store last week). DSHS is not replacing funds.

Gift cards to grocery stores/ Walmart would be the most helpful. They would be thankful for anything.

I have a client who is expecting her first baby May 26th. She is a newlywed, but her husband is still in their country waiting for his VISA. She had to leave her job earlier than planned and has lost her income so she has been unable to buy the essentials for her baby. She would need a car seat to bring baby home from the hospital, and a matching stroller would be helpful to be able get around once baby is born. She is expecting a baby girl. Receiving these items would help her get a good start with her baby.

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".
