We are reaching out to request assistance in helping a devoted single mother cover her rent for the month. She works two jobs while caring for her 1st-grade daughter, doing everything she can to stay afloat. Despite her tireless efforts, the financial burden has become overwhelming. Help with rent would prevent housing instability and provide critical relief as she works to regain stability. Any support—big or small—would mean the world to this family. This mother exemplifies strength and perseverance. She balances long work hours with the demands of parenting, making sure her daughter has the stability and care she needs. Her daughter is bright, kind, and full of potential, and her mom is determined to give her every chance to succeed. After falling behind on utility bills, most of her recent income went toward catching up, leaving little for rent. Like many families living paycheck to paycheck, one setback has caused a ripple effect that’s difficult to recover from without help. She’s not asking for a handout but a hand up. Your support can help this mother avoid eviction, provide stability for her daughter, and offer the hope they need to keep moving forward.

We are working with a mother and her four children; she is a victim of domestic violence. Her high school aged daughter has been the victim of bullying at school by a group of older girls. This bullying has reached outside of the school to the family's home which has been spray painted and the tires on the mother's only vehicle have been slashed. The family has cleaned up the spray painting but does not have the money to replace the tires on her car. Please consider showing your care and concern to this mother who feels she is completely alone.

The parent is a single parent and is unable to afford new headphones for her daughter. A link for requested headphones is attached.

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)
