A loving grandparent has been caring for her 8-year-old granddaughter that was recently attacked by a dog back in March 2025, which caused her granddaughter to lose an eye. The child has undergone surgeries and multiple doctor's visits to get the treatment she needs. Grandmother is trying to work as many hours as possible but with the many trips to appointments she has only been able to work a day or two a week. This is causing her to lose the income that she is used to living on and falling behind on her expenses. Currently she is behind two months on rent ($750/month), two months on her car loan ($659/month), her AES is $374, and her CenterPoint is behind at $300. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

A single mother and her two children are currently staying in a hotel after an electrical fire displaced them from their rental home, which they had just moved into in April. While the Red Cross and her insurance covered the first four nights, insurance is now making it difficult to extend their stay. Their current room is only covered until 11 AM today.

The mother has appointments with apartment complexes this week but needs temporary housing in the meantime. We’re seeking help to cover one additional week at the hotel, which is offered to her at a discounted rate of $109 per night. The total cost for 7 nights is $763. Any support to help keep this family safely housed during this difficult transition is deeply appreciated.

A counselor at a local high school shared a need for a local family. The family was displaced, and did seek a motel voucher from the district.

The family is requesting help in getting a gas stove.

One of our members has a washer and dryer to donate. A newly arrived refugee family with a disabled child is in great need of these donated units. 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.
