Request: #230197 • Urgency: Normal • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Cypress • State: Texas • Zip Code: 77429 • County: Harris • Submitted By: TX-CPS • Lead Church: First Fruits Christian Center

Story

•
1 Child 1 Adult

I have a caregiver that just took in her Godson during an emergency situation. She is a single mother with 4 children of her own. The child she brought in is a 14-year-old teen male. The caregiver will not get any financial assistance as she is in the process of moving out of state and will not have time to have a home study completed to get financial assistance. The caregiver is worried about being able to provide enough food for everyone on her single income, especially since she has all teenagers. The caregiver would like assistance with getting some groceries from HEB or Aldi.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

This is a single-family home with two children. The mother works from home as a tutor, however, does not receive a lot of financial help and currently has no transportation. The family has tried using the transportation through insurance and has not had much luck with consistency. Additionally, they need so much time in advance to for appointments. The child is in need of medical care to assess the child's ears and throat to ensure child's health. The family feels that a bus pass would allow them to make it to and from the Urgent Care office while allowing the parent to still be able to attend work.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

The relative caregivers are both disabled with fixed income and are unable to afford to buy their nephew a bed. Child’s current twin bed is a mattress set only, laying on the floor, and is very worn out. They live in a singlewide mobile home that is being renovated but ran out of funds to complete the renovation due to their very serious health issues. They have had the child in their care for approximately 6 years. These caregivers appreciate any help with getting a twin bed frame and mattress for their 17-year-old male nephew.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A mother and father of 5 children, ages 5, 2, 1, and a set of 4 month old twins that were born prematurely, are in desperate need of grocery assistance. The family moved here from Michigan about 6 months ago and 4 months ago, the twins were born prematurely. Mom is unable to work at this time, so they are extremely tight for money and food insecurity is becoming a greater concern. A gift card to Walmart or King Soopers in the amount of $300 would be a massive help to this young family in their time of need. Thank you so much for your consideration!

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

I would like to say “thank you” on behalf of my family. Whatever you can do will be greatly appreciated. I know that this is a temporary situation because I will be back in the workforce as soon as we get the support we need to get going. My story is long, but I will make it as concise as possible. When I got married to my wife, she had a boy, whom I love dearly. He is on the autism spectrum. I bring him up because everything that is going on is hardest on him. I had a job selling cars, and I made many sales, but what was promised was not paid. I lost several months giving my all to a job that did not cover my bills. I got a new job driving a school bus. At that time, we were living in my father’s house. That’s when the twins arrived. This was too much for him. He was always in a bad mood. His temper always got the better of him. We were afraid for the babies. M and J were afraid to be there when I wasn’t there, and I was afraid for them. One night he just cam in to the room screaming at my wife saying what s going on since the babies were crying and Meghan was getting frustrated with the babies he seemed like he was ready to hit one of us how angry he seemed .at the the time we were holding the babies I had to make a hard decision to keep my family safe cause it would of just gotten worse. We left to stay at a friend’s house, where we are now....but we have to leave very soon. Now we have no income and no savings. Thank you again for listening and all of your help.
