Request: #229882 • Urgency: High • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Canoga Park • State: California • Zip Code: 91303 • County: Los Angeles • Submitted By: Penny Lane Centers • Lead Church: Shepherd Church

Story

•
1 Child 1 Adult

A dedicated caregiver is currently providing full-time care for their young niece, ensuring she has a safe and stable environment. In order to give the child a proper place to sleep, the caregiver has generously given up her own bed, choosing instead to sleep on the couch. As the family prepares to move to a new home, there is a special opportunity to give the child her very own room for the first time.

However, due to financial constraints, the caregiver is unable to afford a bed frame and mattress for the child. We are reaching out for support to help provide this essential item so she can have a comfortable, secure space of her own—a place to rest, grow, and feel at home. Any assistance in helping make this possible would be deeply appreciated. Thank you for your kindness and support.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

Habersham County DFCS is working with a single mother of 4 in a Family Preservation case. The mother needs a cell phone that she can use to do virtual meetings with service providers. Her current phone is held together with tape. The screen is so cracked it is difficult to read anything on it.

She also needs assistance in getting her oldest child's birth certificate so he can get his drivers' license and get a part time job but she does not have the additional money to pay the $30.00 fee for the document.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I’m reaching out on behalf of a single mother of four children who is in urgent need of support. She lost her husband a few years ago and has been doing her best to care for her children on her own. Recently, she was let go from her job after missing work to care for one of her children, who is very sick. She is actively searching for new employment but has not had any luck yet. With no income and no support system, she’s now struggling to keep up with her bills. Just yesterday, she received notice that her electricity will be shut off next Friday if she is unable to pay her bill. The total amount needed to prevent the disconnection is $600. Please keep this family in your prayers, and if you are able to help financially, any donation toward this $600 would be deeply appreciated to help keep their power on during this difficult time. Thank you!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Single mom of two children (one with significant medically complexity) is struggling to pay her rent this month due to misplacing the already purchased money order for their income-based housing. Mother has taken great lengths to locate the misplaced payment but has come up short. There aren't any community agencies able to help until she has received a formal eviction notice which she doesn't want to risk due to the need for stable housing of her medically complex child. Please consider assisting with this tangible need!

We are asking for our networking churches to contribute to the cost of renting the water facility out - $1,200. Any amount helps!
