The caregiver has placement of three non-relative children who she has an amazing bond with. The caregiver is currently working two full-time jobs to be able to care for and provide a stable home for the children. The caregiver is not yet receiving non-relative caregiver funding, which has increased the financial strain on her significantly. The caregiver is in need of $200 toward her electric bill to alleviate some of this stress while waiting for funding to start. When the request is met the caregiver will have some of the current financial strain on her alleviated and she will be able to continue providing a stable environment for the children.

Baby boy was born on 4/18/25 at 33 week. He is currently weighing 3.5 lbs. He is currently in the NICU, working on gaining weight so he can be discharged to a foster placement. Baby boy has to be at least 4 lbs to be discharged. Prior to his discharge he must complete and pass a car seat test. Due to his size he is needing a car seat with ability to carry a 4lb baby. Baby boy is also needing Dr. Brown bottles with preemie flow nipples, preemie size diapers and clothing to aid in his transition into foster care placement.

I am submitting a request for a single mom of five children ( 6months, 2yrs, 4yrs, 6yrs, and 8 yrs old). She needs financial assistance to pay a daycare balance of $378. Also, she needs help with paying one week once the daycare balance is cleared. The weekly payment is $160 a week for the kids. She needs this help so that the kids can be in school so she can work. Once she starts working she can pay the daycare after the first week. She is not able to work because she's home taking care of the kids due to her balance at the daycare. Any help you can provide would be so helpful to this single mother in need.

This is a single mother with various health concerns. Due to all the health issues she is unable to work. The child is a 12 year old girl who has a hard time fitting in and is constantly picked on at school. They are asking for dressers/ clothing organizers. I can have family send me Amazon links?

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!
