Help Support a Youth Aging Out

Older youth could use assistance with an uber or lyft gift card. He is set to age out of care in a few weeks. He is in supported housing and applying for new jobs. He has an interview scheduled this weekend, but transportation is an issue. He is still trying to learn the local bus system and his Medicaid has denied him transport to interviews. A gift card could help give him an immediate transport option while we work with him and his program on other options for getting around in the future.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A single father is seeking support for basic needs after recently losing his job due to an injury. As a result, his bills have started to pile up, and he is dealing with an eviction while working on fixing his credit to become a homeowner.

He is looking for food items such as macaroni and cheese, chicken, and other basic cooking ingredients. Additionally, he needs clothes for his three children: his 6-year-old wears size 7T, his 2-year-old wears size 3T, and his 13-year-old daughter's size can vary, but she typically wears medium to large.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

I am writing to ask for help for this grandmother who is caring for her four grandchildren. They are in desperate need of beds for two of the children who are currently sleeping on an old mattress on the floor and one on a bed with a broken boxspring. They are also in need of a space to keep their clothes. I am suggesting that we purchase new beds with built in storage as well as a new wardrobe for additional clothing storage. We would appreciate your help in securing these items for the family.

Help Maintain Work Transportation

When hardship hits, we turn to our church family. A dedicated single mom of 4, who also cares for a young adult who has aged out of the foster care system, needs our help. She works full-time as a home health aide driving up to 70 miles a day to care for her clients, part of what she does is taking them to appointments, and picking up prescriptions and groceries. She also drives her kids to school daily. One afternoon, after school pickup, she was hit by a driver who fled the scene. Thankfully, she and the kids were unharmed, but her car was badly damaged and had to be towed. With no backup vehicle, she’s rented a car for 3 weeks to keep working and caring for her family but she can’t afford to keep renting a car. To keep insurance affordable, she has a high deductible. She’s saved $600 but still needs $1,400 to get her car out of the body shop this week. The body shop won’t accept payments, and the charities she contacted don’t cover this type of need. The children’s father is not involved or supportive. Church family, let’s come together and help this hardworking mom and her kids get their car back. No gift is too small. Please select “Fund” when donating. Every dollar makes a difference!

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

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

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

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.
