Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

The family is currently facing financial difficulties, which is affecting the child’s well-being and appearance. The student is in need of basic clothing and shoes (both sneakers and black school shoes), as she has been coming to school wearing shoes that are too small and in poor condition.

Any support provided would make a meaningful difference in the student’s daily experience and ease the burden on the family.

Help Remove an Educational Barrier for a Child

To Whom It May Concern: The youth is a senior in high school about ready to graduate. The youth entered the foster care system 4 years ago and has struggled significantly with familial relations and a consistent social support system. The youth is very intelligent, strong advocate for herself, and is ambitious. The youth is planning to attend college in the Fall 2025 post-high school graduation. However, in order to graduate high school - the youth has a pending athletic charge for $45 on her student account for participating in a Fall 2024 sport. Due to saving for a car and college expenses, has been having difficulty covering this expense. In order to graduate timely, this fee is needing to be paid. This would remove an educational barrier for the youth and have her remain on track for graduation.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

This request is for a Hope Florida participant that is a mother of a child with a medical condition. This family is struggling with insufficient food due to lack of income. They are in need of high protein food items. The food pantries available do not have the required items they need to maintain the specific diet the child needs. The cost of the foods required for her diet are higher priced. Unfortunately, the child is not able to eat the foods recommended by her doctor for her medical condition. This family is asking for your help with a grocery card. Please lessen the worry and stress of this mom to be able to properly feed this child. This will help the child maintain the proper diet to help her feel better and be properly fed. It may be a gift card for Walmart. Thank you, Care Portal for helping this family.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Bruckner House is a family homeless shelter requesting assistance with fullfilling a request for a Mother Day Tea Party. We have 85 mothers in our facility and a total of 150 children who reside here. I want to bring to life the tea party vision I had to show the mothers appreciation, hope, love, and compassion. So I am requesting food items and desserts that will compliment the party, small gift bags for the moms, and beverages.

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!

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.
