A devoted grandmother is doing her best to care for her three beloved grandchildren—a 16-year-old girl, a 14-year-old boy, and an 11-year-old boy. Recently, she suffered a stroke and spent time in the hospital. She is now back home, recovering, and trying to maintain a stable environment for her grandchildren. Living on a fixed income, she’s facing a difficult challenge: her bathtub is no longer draining, making daily care and hygiene a struggle. She is kindly asking for help—whether it's someone who can repair the tub or assist her in finding a plumber. Any support during this time would mean the world to her and her family.

A loving grandmother is doing all she can to care for her three cherished grandchildren—a 16-year-old girl, a 14-year-old boy, and an 11-year-old boy. Recently, she faced a serious health setback after suffering a stroke and spending time in the hospital. Now back home and on the road to recovery, she is doing her best to provide a safe and stable environment for the children who mean the world to her.

Living on a fixed income, she is now struggling to catch up on bills and medical expenses, all while trying to stay afloat. One of her most urgent challenges is paying $851.87 in property taxes on her home in Franklin County. Despite the obstacles, she remains determined to care for her family and keep them together under one roof.

Any support during this difficult time would mean so much to this devoted grandmother and her grandchildren. Your kindness could help ease the burden and bring a bit of hope to a family that’s doing their best to hold on.

We are looking for help from our church to pick up and deliver the washer and dryer. A pick up truck is needed, also volunteers to load, unload and install.

I met a young single mom, yesterday who is facing homelessness. She and her 12 year old daughter currently live in an apartment with her mother and are being evicted on Sunday evening. The grandmother has a place to go but this mom and her 12 year old do not. She is on a list to move in to housing in 4-7 days. She hopes to get a job in the Ruckersville area within walking distance of Food Lion.
GRACE can likely help her with first months rent when she gets in, but 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. Please reach out if you can help with this. 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.

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. They have taken a placement of a 14-year old girl, and they need a bed and bedding for her A.S.A.P. Can you help us out so we can purchase this for her? Thanks. Nathan
