Request: #229807 • Urgency: Normal • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Odessa • State: Florida • Zip Code: 33556 • County: Pasco • Submitted By: Children's Home Network | Caregiver Support Services • Lead Church: Grace Family Church

Story

•
3 Children 1 Adult

Single mother of three children in need of rental assistance. The parent has a child with developmental and mental health needs. She is the sole provider to this child and their siblings while working and attending college full time. This family has no other support from family, friends, or the children's father. This caregiver is extremely stressed about her inability to afford the rent of the home she is currently living in, as her former roommate backed out of moving in and splitting the costs with her at the last minute after the caregiver had signed the lease for the home.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

The caregiver is 79 years old, and they live in a two-bedroom home. The oldest child is sleeping on a queen-sized bed, the two middle children are sleeping on mattresses on the ground. The 5-month-old child sleeps in a crib in the caregiver’s room. Having the bunk bed and twin bed would allow the children to share a bedroom and meet licensing standards to ensure the family receives funding. This funding and bedding will assist with providing care, safe sleeping environment, and ensure siblings stay together and the placement is secured. This family needs your help with a twin bunk bed frame and twin mattresses, twin bed frame and mattress and 3 sets of twin bedding. The girls are ages 9 and 12 and the little boy is 5.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

This family is going to be moving into a new space after being evicted from a shared space. This will be their first time living alone. Mom has requested help getting a bed for her daughter, so that her daughter will have her own bed for the first time. Mother is working hard to provide for her family and even with 2 jobs is unable to provide for some of the basic needs. When kiddos share beds with parents, it causes them to go to bed much later and be up much earlier than what they need to. Meeting this need should help this student be ready to learn and set up to succeed!

Help Maintain Work Transportation

When hardship hits, we turn to our church family. A dedicated single mom of 4, who also cares for a young adult who has aged out of the foster care system, needs our help. She works full-time as a home health aide driving up to 70 miles a day to care for her clients, part of what she does is taking them to appointments, and picking up prescriptions and groceries. She also drives her kids to school daily. One afternoon, after school pickup, she was hit by a driver who fled the scene. Thankfully, she and the kids were unharmed, but her car was badly damaged and had to be towed. With no backup vehicle, she’s rented a car for 3 weeks to keep working and caring for her family but she can’t afford to keep renting a car. To keep insurance affordable, she has a high deductible. She’s saved $600 but still needs $1,400 to get her car out of the body shop this week. The body shop won’t accept payments, and the charities she contacted don’t cover this type of need. The children’s father is not involved or supportive. Church family, let’s come together and help this hardworking mom and her kids get their car back. No gift is too small. Please select “Fund” when donating. Every dollar makes a difference!

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

127 Place received a request from a member of a local church for a mom with three pre-school-age kids who are living in a motel. This family is from out-of-town looking for safety and a new life. They have no family support. They were just approved for an apartment with a move-in date of June 1, but they need help with deposits.

Mom started a job recently and has raised about half of the deposits. 127 Place is committing $500, but that leaves about $400 still needed for the deposits.

They do have beds, but nothing else, so 127 Place will also be working to provide other essentials for them to get started in their apartment. If you would like to help with donations for this family, please contact me by email ******@email.com or by text,(###) ###-####.

A young family of 2 children ages 1 and 7 years old are requesting a washer and dryer as they moved into a house from an apartment.

They moved from an apartment which had a washer and dryer and now they need to provide for their own. The father is looking for work and does odd jobs to help pay for rent, bills, food, clothing, etc. A washer and dryer will help mom take care of her kids so that they will be able to attend school and help their hygiene.
