Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

A devoted grandmother is the primary caregiver to her beloved 10-year-old granddaughter and 7-year-old grandson. Every day, she does her best to provide a stable, loving home for them, despite the many challenges she faces. Right now, she is in urgent need of a gas stove. Her current stove no longer works, making it difficult to prepare the healthy, home-cooked meals her grandchildren depend on. Living on a fixed income, she recently had to spend her limited savings on car repairs so she could continue getting to vital doctor appointments. She is currently on workers' compensation due to a cervical spine injury she suffered on the job in early 2025. The injury has greatly limited her mobility, adding to the physical and emotional toll of her situation. Despite these hardships, she remains strong and full of love for her grandchildren. A new or gently used gas stove would make a world of difference in her ability to care for them. Any support would mean so much to this family and would help bring comfort and stability back to their kitchen — and their lives.

Help Make a Kinship Placement

Social Services worker is requesting a gas card for a grandmother, who previously had custody of youth and who he is most likely going home to, so she can visit him as he is at a temporary placement. His grandmother resides here in Lebanon and needs some financial assistance for gas so she can visit the youth and maintain their bonded relationship. She has been unable to visit him since being placed due to this reason.

Thank you for your generosity and care in keeping our Youth with family.

Doctors hope she can make it to 32 weeks, currently 28 ½ wks along. She will then deliver baby A and also the remains of Baby B. She has been on bedrest to help her get to 32 weeks. They are struggling financially due to her not working. Her boyfriend is the only one working, and they have a 9y son. Family is helping with the little they have themselves. They also have been told the house they are renting is being sold and need to find elsewhere to live. At one point she was hospitalized in Colorado due to the severity of her high-risk pregnancy. She is back in Tucson and has several appointments a week. She is on short term disability; still paying for her insurance premium but their other bills are now delinquent.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

We are reaching out on behalf of a devoted single mother who is doing everything she can to provide for her young child. She was blessed with a donated car—that allows her to get to and from her two jobs and care for her little one. The seats are in extremely poor condition—torn, worn, and uncomfortable. This mother works tirelessly every day, juggling two jobs. Even with all the challenges she faces, she remains positive and determined, putting her child’s needs before her own. A simple set of car seat covers would not only restore a sense of pride and comfort to her daily drives but would also bring a little dignity back to the space she spends so much time in. We are humbly asking for your help. A donation of car seat covers—for her used 2009 Lexus ES 350 Interior color Beige —would make a world of difference to this hardworking mom. It’s a small act that would bring great comfort, support, and hope. Right now, she is in urgent need of clothing and shoes for her little girl. Her daughter is growing quickly and currently wears clothing size 6 and shoe size 13 (children’s). With the change in seasons and the daily wear and tear of an active child, her clothes are becoming worn and limited. This mom is doing her best, but she could really use a helping hand. A Walmart gift card or purchase of clothing would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for considering this request. Your generosity can help ease one piece of her daily struggle.

Help Improve an Adult’s Well-Being

A member of Doxa shared a request where they would benefit in having another bed since they assist their neighbor kids while their mom works doubles to make ends meet. Having a bed will allow her to serve the kids in having their own space when they spend the evenings over.

I placed Full/Double, but if you have a twin that works too. Let me know if you have any of the items or want to contribute. Kayley and myself, Nikolai, would be the contact person and I can handle PU and drop off of these items. Thanks y’all!

Help Make a Foster Care Placement

We are in urgent need of funding to purchase two mattresses (we highly recommend with waterproof covers) for a foster family who is working to get siblings placed in their home. As part of the placement transition, they will be hosting the children for some overnight visits soon and they have worked to purchase beds for their home. As a result, they are asking for help in purchasing the mattresses to put on the beds due to the sudden financial strain. These kids will be looking to make this home a permanent placement, so these items would be for use long into the future. If you can support this family from our own church in some (or all!) of these items, please donate now. If you have bedding items available that you can donate, please mention that. We would like to purchase the mattresses brand new. Thank you for your consideration and support!

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

I would like to say “thank you” on behalf of my family. Whatever you can do will be greatly appreciated. I know that this is a temporary situation because I will be back in the workforce as soon as we get the support we need to get going. My story is long, but I will make it as concise as possible. When I got married to my wife, she had a boy, whom I love dearly. He is on the autism spectrum. I bring him up because everything that is going on is hardest on him. I had a job selling cars, and I made many sales, but what was promised was not paid. I lost several months giving my all to a job that did not cover my bills. I got a new job driving a school bus. At that time, we were living in my father’s house. That’s when the twins arrived. This was too much for him. He was always in a bad mood. His temper always got the better of him. We were afraid for the babies. M and J were afraid to be there when I wasn’t there, and I was afraid for them. One night he just cam in to the room screaming at my wife saying what s going on since the babies were crying and Meghan was getting frustrated with the babies he seemed like he was ready to hit one of us how angry he seemed .at the the time we were holding the babies I had to make a hard decision to keep my family safe cause it would of just gotten worse. We left to stay at a friend’s house, where we are now....but we have to leave very soon. Now we have no income and no savings. Thank you again for listening and all of your help.
