Story

•
1 Child 1 Adult

Mother of a Little in our program reached out and stated she will no longer have employment as of May 2025, and is currently searching for new employment. Little has recently experienced significant mental health concerns, which has resulted in high stress for Mother and Daughter. Mother is highly motivated and is hopeful she will find employment soon but is requesting support for a high gas bill she has been unable to pay due to increase in other bills. Mother is highly appreciative of any help that can be provided.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

A young, sixteen year old single mother who is placed with a caregiver is working to have her infant son returned to her care. Her son will be sleeping in a room next to her; we are requesting assistance with obtaining a video baby monitor to allow her to monitor her son. Assisting with this need will allow this very young mother peace of mind while her son sleeps and provide the team the assurance to move the child home to her care.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

The biological mother of a child that has been placed in foster care has been evicted from her apartment. While attempting to move out of her apartment and load items into her van, the van got a flat tire. I am requesting $100 for the cost of a new tire.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Father is currently struggling financially as a single father of a 5 month old baby girl due to being the only provider. Father has participated in all court ordered services. At this time the father needs a Crib set with mattress and one five drawer dresser. The family’s monthly income is $2,492 expenses are $2,372, leaving family with balance of $120. Providing the family with assistance will ensure that the infant will have appropriate furniture to store her clothes and a safe place to sleep. It is important for infant to have her own bed to receive adequate rest as part of her development and to accomplish her milestones. The infant having her own space to sleep will provide her with appropriate sleep and the dressers will assist father with maintaining infant’s clothes, organization and have appropriate area to store items which will prevent safety hazards. Family will benefit from the support, due to father being the only provider for infant. This will assist father in not feeling overwhelmed with expenses, due to his income, covering rent, utilities and infants needs.

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

A single mother is facing financial hardship and has fallen behind on her rent. She has an 11-year-old son and is striving to get back on track. Her monthly rent is $1,570.00, and she was able to pay $500.00 for May; however, she has incurred late fees totaling $230.00 and is struggling to cover the remaining $1,300.00 that was due for May. As June is now here, she has fallen short again and is seeking assistance to stabilize her housing situation. Any support that can help her bridge this gap and regain stability would be deeply appreciated.
