Single mom survived d a 10 year DV relationship and has been living in a shelter while fighting for custody of her 3 children. Her talented children consist of an 11 year old girl, 9 year old boy, 4 year old son who is autistic. Mom working diligently in school to better her future while providing and trying to create the best secure atmosphere for her children. "Its so hard, I don't let my kids see it so they can stay on the track but, its so hard". I don't like to get my hopes up because of all the let downs, I know God will make a way". Mom is asking for a few things to make her temporary living situation a bit better, excited while afraid of finding a place because she cant afford to furnish it and worried it would be used against her to take her kids.

Mom is so brave and has a relentless drive in her, does needs some help but more so community to coral around her, she feels so alone.

I met a young single mom, K, yesterday who is facing homelessness. She, & her 12 year old daughter currently lives in Terrace Greene with her mother, & are being evicted on Sunday evening. K's mom has a place to go but K & her 12 year old do not. She is on a list at Hawk's Landing & I confirmed with the office that she should be able to move in within about a week, probably 4-7 days. She hopes to get a job in the Ruckersville area within walking distance of Food Lion. She currently works out in Louisa but shares the car with her mother, so that will be difficult when they are living in different places.
GRACE can likely help her with first months rent when she gets in, but we cannot help her with both first months rent and a hotel stay until the apartment becomes available. We are seeking nights at a hotel or an available room where she and her daughter can stay until getting the apartment at Hawk's Landing. Please reach out to Jennifer Smith, if you can help with this. Unfortunately the person who offers reduced rates is not available at the Holiday Inn. If different churches pay each church needs to make a different reservation which would be difficult. Current rate is around $140 a night. Let me know how many nights you could cover for her and I will start a reservation with that many nights and ask that you either send funds through GRACE or stop in the hotel and pay cash towards the reservation.

I have a mother that is moving into her own apartment in a couple of weeks and she is in need of a couple items. She has started overnights and we will be moving towards trial home visits this summer. She has overcome her addiction and making such amazing progress.

I have a mother that has had to miss work for the past two weeks due to a sick child at home. As a result she has fallen behind financially with paying her rent.

This mother has had to miss 2 weeks worth of work due to a sick child in the home and has fallen behind on her rent as well as her electric bill. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

We have a student in need of end-of-year support as they prepare for graduation. Recently, their family experienced a job loss and is now facing the heartbreaking possibility of asking their child to miss out on this milestone event — one they have worked so hard to earn.

With your support, we can ensure that this student doesn’t have to make that difficult sacrifice and is able to fully participate in graduation and celebrate their incredible achievement.

Every bit of help makes a difference. Let’s come together to lift up this student and show them their hard work matters.

Hello, We are helping out a grandmother who has taken in her grandson. A bed has been provided but we need to purchase a new XL Twin Mattress. Please consider funding this need. Thank you!

April showers bring May flowers! We’re sowing seeds of hope within the foster care community, connecting with kind and compassionate individuals to help us find safe and affordable housing for Sherry, Kaya, and Kennedy. We’re praying for a harvest soon, as they must be fully moved out of their home by the end of June. Kennedy is preparing to graduate from high school in just a few weeks and is stepping into the next chapter of adulthood. Cameron has been thriving in New York; he's already received a glowing letter of praise from a client for being so helpful! Sherry recently started a new job assisting a senior during the day, and Kaya has been a big help in organizing, packing, and preparing for the upcoming move. If you know of anyone who might have a room available for the girls or for Sherry, please reach out. As always, we are deeply grateful for your continued support each month. Please select “Fund” when donating.

Summit, we have a relationship with a foster family - they are a family that we have known through our partnership with the Dream Center in OKC.
