Story

•
2 Children 1 Adult

This request is being made for a single mother with two children, 9 years old and 4 years old. The mother is a very caring and protective mother of her two children. The family members have all suffered trauma related to the children's father (not in the home) The documented and verified abuse is of a highly sensitive nature. The mother has and will suffer negative impacts likely the rest of her life. The children are negatively impacted related to developmental delays and behavioral challenges as a result of the abuse. The impacts have resulted in the children having to live in separate locations until the mother's subsidized housing can be adjusted to 3 bedrooms to accommodate the special conditions. One of the children are residing with a guardian 40 minutes away. Alternative housing is expected to be ready for the family by July. The other works full time and the child residing with her requires constant supervision when not in school/daycare. As a result, the mother is struggling to obtain items needed to better manage the household. Two (2) sets of twin bed sheets for the children’s beds. Shoes for the daughter would be so helpful: Size 1 girls shoe (4 years old). Size should be confirmed due to child continually growing.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

A kinship care placement has been supported by Safe Families for 3 years. The family has gained stability and shown resilience through difficult times. The guardian who has cared for the children for the majority of the children's lives is in the process of getting full guardianship. Through this process home visits are being done to ensure the home is a safe living space for the children. The family is in need of 2 beds to meet this standard. Due to minimal space in the home the family requests a twin bunk bed to save space and provide the necessary sleeping arrangements for the children.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

A family with a child with special needs (seizure disorder and autism) is seeking assistance for a small portable air conditioner. Initially mom thought that the landlord got this fixed but as the days get hotter the a/c cannot keep up. The child’s seizures worsen with heat and the mom is about to undergo a surgery. Does anyone have a used portable a/c that can be donated? Or can you find it in your heart to donate to this cause?

Help Assist a Victim of Domestic Violence

Single mother (who Emmaus members have been walking alongside) escaping domestic violence from husband along with two kids under the age of 7 years. She is starting over from scratch as they left the house with nothing and has no extended family support. She would like to have a car which would provide transportation so she can get a job so that she can get into housing. We are hoping to provide $3,000 towards a vehicle.

If you have any connections to help with housing or a job (she doesn't have childcare so maybe a daycare center, work from home, etc) please respond to this request or reach out to Julie-Anne or Kandilyn Ford.

Thank you for offering support and prayer for this family!
