Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

This young mother is facing the challenges of new motherhood completely on her own. As a single parent caring for her infant daughter, she is currently unable to work and is doing her best to provide for her child with very limited resources. She is in need of several essential baby items to help create a safe and nurturing environment for her little one. These include an infant swing, a convertible car seat, a crib with a mattress and sheets, an infant bathtub, clothing in size 3–6 months, size 1 diapers, wipes, and infant toys if available. Any support provided would be a tremendous help and deeply appreciated as she works to care for her daughter during this difficult time.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

After a long and difficult journey, a mother of five is just days away from a major milestone — reunification with her children. She’s worked tirelessly to meet every requirement, attend every class, and prove her commitment to giving her kids the safe, loving home they deserve.

Now, the final step is a home study scheduled for this Tuesday. Everything is in place — except for one critical piece: beds. Without proper sleeping arrangements for all five children, her home won’t pass inspection, and her reunification will be delayed… or even denied.

She urgently needs a bunk bed and a full-size bed to meet the state requirements. Your support can make all the difference between a mother hugging her children again — or being forced to wait even longer.

This is more than just furniture. It’s a step toward healing, stability, and hope for a family that’s fought hard to be together again.

Alleviate Food/Essentials Insecurity

Please consider helping a single mom and her 2 year old daughter here in our Scottsville community. They are in need of a refrigerator as theirs went out and now they do not have one. This would help them keep cold food instead of just shelf food for meals. This single mom works multiple jobs including an in-home bakery. Appliances are very expensive and finances are tight for her. Not only would this help with their food but it would also help her continue her business and the flow of income.

We have contacted Doug's Maytag in Scottsville and they have a new Amana for $667 or a new Whirlpool for $754. There is a $79 delivery fee and they will remove and dispose of the old one for her.

If you do not have a refrigerator to give, please consider giving financially through Go To Link In the "Give To" section select "Single Mom's Ministry" with a note for "Refrigerator".

Help Make a Foster Care Placement

We are in urgent need of funding to purchase two mattresses (we highly recommend with waterproof covers) for a foster family who is working to get siblings placed in their home. As part of the placement transition, they will be hosting the children for some overnight visits soon and they have worked to purchase beds for their home. As a result, they are asking for help in purchasing the mattresses to put on the beds due to the sudden financial strain. These kids will be looking to make this home a permanent placement, so these items would be for use long into the future. If you can support this family from our own church in some (or all!) of these items, please donate now. If you have bedding items available that you can donate, please mention that. We would like to purchase the mattresses brand new. Thank you for your consideration and support!
