Story

2 Children

We have 2 siblings in care and are enrolled in a safety plan for mom to have custody. Currently the two (female, age 5), (female, age 3) and mother all share a bed. The family is unable to afford a set of bunk beds that would be needed to provide a separate sleeping space for each of the children. Bunkbeds would help out the mom with having the children sleep safely. Any donation would be appreciated.

Help a Veteran with Medical Needs

We’re reaching out on behalf of a beloved retired pastor and former U.S. Marine who served at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. He’s now facing serious health issues, including bladder cancer, and chronic kidney disease linked to toxic water exposure during his service, in addition he’s had multiple strokes and has dementia. Though he qualifies under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, he’s not yet received any compensation or VA benefits. He currently lives in a board and care facility, but his Social Security falls $800 short each month. His wonderful daughter, who visits and helps care for him, has been covering the difference. Unfortunately, she suffered a medical emergency in March and hasn’t been able to work and has had to move in with a friend. Due to errors in processing her short-term disability, she hasn’t received income since then. Her close friends stepped in to help cover the past 2 months but they can no longer continue. With 2 months of unpaid board and care approaching, no clear timeline for when she’ll receive payment, and no other options, she is extremely worried about how she’ll cover the costs for June and July. We’re working on VA benefits and finding a more affordable facility if her income isn’t restored soon, but that is a lengthy process. In the meantime, we’re asking for your help to keep this faithful man who gave his life to serving God and our country in his current facility and not be forced onto the street. Please select “FUND” when giving.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

Emergency Youth Shelter is requesting items for youth to do individually in their quiet time in bedrooms prior to going to sleep. No electronics are allowed and youth need activities they enjoy to unwind before sleeping. Typically 6-7 youth are at the shelter each night. Youth ages are from 12-17. Youth come and go frequently. Items will go with the youth when they leave the shelter. Most youth come to the shelter with few if any personal possessions. Items need to be something youth could not use for self harm. Suggested items would include: medium logo sets, magnetic building sets, model automobiles/planes that do not use glue, dot art work, crafts without sharp objects or long string, foil art, journal kits for teens, origami kits, diamond art kits, paper airplane kits, stem kits, 3 D puzzles, stem magnetic fidget cube, cars and toys that can be played with individually and quietly. Many of these youth have not had the opportunity to have or play with toys. To be able to provide toys and activities to do by themselves is amazing to most of our youth. Many have not had this opportunity and have not learned to play or to play alone. Thank you for your consideration and the blessing that will be received.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

I have been working with Mom for almost 2 years. She had a very serious problem with addition until October 2023, when she gave birth to a baby girl. She has been clean and sober since then, now has full custody of her daughter, is employed with stable housing and is doing great. Mom has older kids, 15-year-old twin boys and a 17-year-old. The older kids have been in foster care; since Mom has turned her life around, she has reestablished relationships with them. They are visiting, and the family may be soon reunited. They are in a very small space right now, but Mom is hoping to be approved for a larger home soon. Mom is humble and reluctant to ask, but she needs 4 sets of twin sheets and comforters, pillows, towels, deodorants, soaps, toothpaste, shampoo, and toiletries for the older kids, toilet paper, size 4 diapers, baby shampoo and lotions, plastic hangers and plastic bins for storage.
Mom is open to a gift certificate or to someone who can assist her with planning and shopping. Thank you in advance.

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 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!
