For a family in zip code area 24236

We have a family in need. The mother recently had a child who has been in the NICU at Niswonger's Children's Hospital for 47 days. Mom tries to visit her infant daily but the cost of gas is becoming problematic. In addition, once discharged, the child is being referred to a Pediatric Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist in the Tennessee area and will continue to have traveling expenses. I am requesting gas cards and food cards for the family to ease the burden of this commute. They are very appreciative of any help that can be given during this stressful time.

Updated on May 07, 2025 by an Agency Worker
All needs have been met for this family. Thank you to all who have given! The child has been discharged from the hospital however the family still has multiple follow-up appts they'll be driving to. Thank you so much!

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

A newly licensed foster parent—just three months into her journey—has opened her home to two young children in need: a boy who just turned 4 and a little girl who just turned 3. These precious siblings were recently removed from a heartbreaking living situation where they were staying in a shed. The caregiver is doing everything she can to provide a safe, nurturing environment, but she needs our help with essential items. She is in need of size 4 diapers for the boy and size 2T–3T pull-ups or training pants for the little girl.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

I have a family that is need of a twin bed for a 16-year-old teenage girl. The child is placed with her father and grandmother; however, the family has limited income and is unable to purchase a suitable bed. The teen is currently sleeping on a deflected air mattress that keeps deflating. This disrupts the teen sleep and prevents her from getting the proper sleep that she needs. When this need is met, this can benefit the youth at school and at home. Please consider this request, it will be greatly appreciated by the family.
