Basic Needs- Toothbrushes

The client is eight months pregnant and has a family of four, including her husband, two-year-old son, and four-year-old daughter. The family is in immediate need of housing and has been unable to qualify for multiple emergency shelter programs. The client is unemployed, while her husband works part-time and is actively seeking another job because his income is not enough to meet their basic needs.

The client does not have any baby items and receives diapers from our Earn While You Learn program when possible. She does not have a phone and relies on the family’s only car, which her husband uses for work. I am assisting the client with her housing search, though emergency shelter programs have presented many barriers to access. This client and her family are Spanish-speaking only.

The client would greatly benefit from newborn baby items, groceries, and gas. She is specifically in need of: Newborn clothes for a baby boy ($35 sizes 0-3 months) Diapers and wipes ($85 for various sizes) A newborn car seat ($140) A baby bath set including baby wash, shampoo, and lotion ($13) Diaper rash cream ($7) A gas card ($100) A Walmart gift card for groceries ($75)

Supporting this family in meeting these immediate needs will provide them with critical relief while they continue to search for stable housing.

This family consists of 6 children, two female ages 10 and 2 and four males ages 7, 6, 4 and 10 months. The family recently moved to America for a new start and opportunities but are in need of new beds for the children as they are very old and are on the ground with no bed frames. The children are in need of 4 twin beds, 2 twin bed frames and 1 bunk bed for more space in one of the bedrooms for the children to play. If possible, 4 twin bed sheets and pillows for all. The mother is in need of a stroller for the 10 month old as the one she has broke.

Single mom of three recently moved into new apartment in need of dresser for three children.

Family needs deposit for gas company to move into a new home. The mother was working attempting to come up with the deposit amount but broke her foot. The family is trying to get out of a very emotionally triggering apartment. There was a child death of a close friend, and the parent and children are triggered emotionally every time they go outside. This move would be a great benefit to the emotional wellbeing of the children.

Family is being reunited and has a new home. Working on gathering things to make it feel more like a home and help them get back on their feet. Starting with the beds. I have a full size bed for mom, but looking for twin size beds for each of the two boys. Mom has asked for pillows and I would love to find them bedding as well. Boys are into Pokemon and Sonic the Hedgehog but anything blue would work.

A single mother who is the full-time caregiver for her disabled daughter is struggling to pay her rent after her monthly payment went up. She has starting driving for DoorDash and is looking for other ways to earn income while caring for her child, but she has gotten behind. She needs $262 by May2nd to avoid eviction. Please consider helping this family.

Our church is working together with a family who was recently homeless and is getting back on their feet. For years they have been deeply invested in serving our community. The mother has been a constant source of support, providing food and childcare assistance to local churches, always giving selflessly to others.

We are asking for support to help this family thrive with groceries, summer clothes and shoes for the children, toiletries, laundry detergent, and a gas card. Please consider supporting this family.

WE ARE ENTERING THIS REQUEST IN SUPPORT OF A FAMILY AT MT. ZION CHURCH, AND WILL BE GRATEFUL FOR ANY SUPPORT AND PARTNERSHIP FROM AREA CHURCHES

Here is the story from Mt. Zion:

This request supports a family of 5, including multiple children and a mother who recently delivered a baby via emergency C-section. Due to complications during delivery (e.g., including significant blood loss), the mother faces an extended recovery period. Without paid family leave, this has created financial strain on the household, leaving them approximately two months behind on rent.

This family would be grateful for alternative forms of support so they can redirect their limited funds toward housing.

Immediate needs (with weekly spending on each item) are as follows:

• Groceries - $250
• Gas - $100
• Formula - $50
• Baby Essentials - $50
• Household Essentials - $50

We would like to support this family for 2 weeks worth of expenses, which is reflected in the itemized needs. Thank you for your support!

We are excited to announce that Center Church is collecting items to stock our newly opened Care Closet. Our goal is to provide emergency supplies to families in need right here in City Heights and the surrounding areas.

We are in need of the following items: 25 Twin Bedsheets 10 Standard Pillows 10 Boxes of Diapers 10 Boxes of Baby Wipes 10 Boxes of Ninjamas/Goodnights Kids Clothing (Ages 0-10yrs)
