This family in need consists of a single mother raising her own 3 young children. The mother took responsibility and is caring for a 17-year old family friend. Mom works low paying jobs to pay and make ends meet. The 17-year-old would have ended up in foster care if it wasn't for this mother. The family is requesting a full-size box spring, mattress, and bed frame, XXL shirts, sweatpants, and shorts (male).

Hi Ya'll! We have a 7 year old boy that has found a foster to adopt placement! YAY! The family is needing help providing for the boys sleeping arrangements. They are requesting a twin size mattress, twin size mattress cover, and twin size sheets. Any and all help would be much appreciated. Thank you for all you do for our communities.

Single mother and son are being evicted due to rent being unpaid from sickness/work leave. Currently are without power or other place to go. Family is in need of $1492 to pay back the rent.

Single Mom with 1 daughter who has worked hard to get out on her own and into her own apartment. She was recently laid off and is working hard to search for a new job-- this has been a bit challenging because her older phone screen stopped working. The phone shows half the screen black. She reports she has had the phone for about 5 years.

She had been using the phone to apply for jobs online, check in with staffing companies, communicate with her daughter's school through email, etc. She does not have a computer/tablet or internet. She uses her phone for all internet access when she is unable to utilize the public computers at the library. She voiced worried that she isn't able to consistently make and accept phone calls for getting a new job, or if her daughter had an emergency or was sick from school. This has added a layer of stress that I am hoping to alleviate for her.

This Mom uses an Android phone through Mint Mobile. In order to utilize the internet, she would need a phone with that capability. She could swap service to the new/used phone. Here is the most affordable phone Mint Mobile offers on their website: Go To Link It is $110.

Thank you for considering.

This family in need has a 17-year-old male who is currently in foster care. The child lives with the father and younger sibling in a very small apartment. The child would like to start weekend visits with the family but does not have a bed. Due to limited space, he could use a twin bed that can be put on top of the other bed as bunkbeds. A bed for the child would be an important step in re-unity.

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)
