Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

Student is an unaccompanied youth, very resilient facing challenges of homelessness. She is living in a car and trying to find a job to earn some money to pay her phone plan and keep gas in the car. As her homeless liaison, it is important to keep her phone active to stay in communication with her especially over the summertime, so requesting help with her phone services. Initially her phone was cut off due to insufficient funds. She just signed up a free 15 day trial program with the company Visible.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

2 of 2 This is a devoted single mother caring for three young children. After experiencing several months of housing instability, including couch surfing, she has finally found an apartment in Riverside. Without access to a car, she relies entirely on public transportation to get to both work and school. Her daily routine is incredibly demanding, one of her children has special needs, and with her kids attending two different schools, mornings are especially challenging. Community members have even witnessed her running between drop-offs and bus stops, trying her best to make it to work on time. Despite her resilience and dedication, the family is in need of essential household items, even if they're used. They do not have a refrigerator or beds, and a TV would be a meaningful comfort for the children during this transitional time.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

The referred family is requesting assistance with gift cards. The family has a current investigation open. The father left the three children with their adult 22 years old brother. The adult brother lives with his girlfriend. The father left the children to go on a drug binge and has not contacted the family for months. Additionally, the family/children cannot receive DPSS benefits until 7/25/2025 as the father is claiming the benefits for the children and not giving the funds to the brother to care for the children. The older brother currently works night shifts at Smart and Final to support the family. The older brother feels overwhelmed and is having difficulty making ends meet. The family can benefit with gift cards to purchase clothing and food items. The family would be appreciative of any help and want to explore all options to make their children as comfortable as possible at home.

Help Improve an Adult’s Well-Being

Hello Hope Church family, We have a member of our congregation who is preparing to undergo knee replacement surgery, and we would love to bless her with an automatic lift chair to aid in her recovery. We’re excited to share that $500 of this $1000 need has already been met through a generous donation! If you’d like to help contribute toward the remaining amount, you’re welcome to give through the CarePortal platform or by writing a check to the church with "CarePortal" in the memo line. This is a wonderful opportunity to come together and care for someone in our church family in a tangible way. Thank you in advance for your generosity and support!

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

Hey BattleCreek church family! We have been connected to a recent kinship placement. The maternal aunt has stepped in as an out-of-home safety monitor for her teenage nephew, providing him with a safe and stable environment while the family works through ongoing challenges. Unfortunately, the aunt’s food stamp benefits were recently hacked, leaving her without critical resources to feed her household. She is doing her best to provide for the teen and maintain stability, but with limited income and no access to her food benefits for the rest of the month, she is struggling to meet their basic needs. We are asking for support in providing assistance for their utility bill this month. Even the smallest amount helps!

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

A young family from Afghanistan arrived in Holland a few months ago and is in need of support. While the dad speaks a few phrases in English, they primarily speak Pashto and have 4 children (plus one more on the way due in August). Their 10 year old son is currently enrolled at an elementary school on the northside of Holland. The younger siblings are a 5 year old boy and two girls aged 4 and 6 months. The father worked for the US Military in Afghanistan for 15 years before coming to Lansing with his family in 2021. He worked in a car factory in Lansing, but decided to come to Holland to be closer to friends when his family lost housing. The father is still searching for local employment, but is able to drive his own small car. They have borrowed funds for rent the past few months, but are running out of options. Any help would be a gift as we search for more sustainable income for their family!

Movement West Michigan has been made aware of the needs of this family and are working with multiple local agencies and churches to coordinate immediate support as they work toward long-term stability.
