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,(###) ###-####.

This resilient youth was primarily raised by her grandmother. She had moved out of state to reconnect with her bio mother, but soon found herself in a negative and unstable position. Unfortunately, this caused her to lose everything and almost end up homeless. Grandmother reached out, and helped her get back to Philadelphia but had just moved into a senior living facility which does not allow the youth to stay there. Due to her urgent situation, we accepted her into our transitional housing program, but she has very minimal possessions. In order to prevent her from becoming homeless, she is scheduled to move in by Wednesday but she needs: a twin mattress and box spring, a mini fridge, a bathroom set (shower curtain, trash bin, soap dish, bath rug, etc.), bath towels and wash clothes, pillow/s and bedding for a twin bed, hangers, and a few small bins to store things in. Her favorite color is sky blue! Please help Prevent this youth From becoming homeless!

We have a 60 year old grandmother who is asking for a used refrigerator to help store the families food and medications. The grandmother is diabetic and take 3 forms of insulin, one type 4 times a day, one type at night, and the last for once a week. The medications that are stored take up most if not all the door space used for storage. This grandmother is trying to raise 5 grandkids, 3 girls ages 10,11, and 13, as well as 2 boys ages 4 and 9. She get no support from the biological parents and receives no child support for the kids as well. This would help save on food and medicine waste since she would have a p[lace to store all her needs without worry as to whether the items would spoil, especially as we enter the hot summer months.

Grace's Table is about to meet 50+ new teen mamas! Our annual Diaper Day is June 9th and mamas (ages 13 to 24-years-old) can get free diapers and wipes for each of their kiddos. As our largest outreach event of the year, Diaper Day is an investment in the dignity of young families in Grand Rapids. No mama should ever have to choose between buying diapers and putting food on the table! While at Grace's Table for Diaper Day, families will have the chance to meet our partners from Corewell Health, Catherine's Health Center, and Nurse Family Partnership just to name a few. We'll have on-site car seat safety education and families who lack a car seat or simply have an unsafe model can get a brand new one! Families who already attend Grace's Table are also eligible, so we expect a packed house!

Mamas at Grace's Table are surrounded by circles of support as they invest in themselves. Here, they find resources to advance their education/career goals, find safe housing, and connect with mental health support. Diaper Day brings dozens of brand new families into our community and you can be a part of the celebration! Donating diapers and wipes ensures clean buns and new relationships. We've listed the diaper sizes and numbers we need to make sure every family feels valued and connected. Your church's investment is critical! If you have questions, please let us know!

There is a single mom with 2 kids who is trying to get on her feet. She has worked hard to get her rent paid for this month and is needing assistance with her utility bill. she has a cutoff on her electric for the 27th of this month.

This is a request from RestoreOKC. We have a participant in our workforce program who is in need of assistance with her OG&E bill. She found out recently that a charge was fraudulently applied to her account, and this charge applied an extra $500 to her account (someone she knows used her information to set up an account but did not pay the bill). The amount owed is now $800 and her electricity was turned off on Friday, the 22nd. She has filed with OG&E that this charge was fraudulent, but they have not yet completed an investigation. She has $200 to put toward the bill. She has reached out to other resources to get help, but has either been turned away or has not heard back. This mom has two children in the home with her. She is a hardworking person who has come against a very difficult situation and any help you can provide would mean a lot.

We are lifting up a faithful mom caring full-time for her special needs baby girl. Because of the child’s needs, Mom is only able to work two days a week, making it difficult to provide for even the most basic essentials. We are asking for help with diapers (size 3, Huggies or Pampers) and Huggies wipes to support this sweet family. Providing these items would truly be a prayer answered for this mom and her precious daughter.

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. The couple have been here from Venezuela for about 2.5 years and help out at Centro Cristiano a Las Naciones with leading music. 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. Thank you for your help.
