The agency is trying to assist an elderly gentleman whose SNAP Benefits (food stamps) were compromised by no fault of his. The agency is requesting a gift card for Food Lion to assist him. The goal is at least $50.00, but any amount would be greatly appreciated.

I'm working with a single mother of two children that are living in an area homeless shelter. She's been working so hard and is still struggling to make ends meet. Her daughter turns 7 at the end of May and mom doesn't have any money to purchase birthday gifts. She cried to me on the phone about how she wants to make her daughter's birthday special. Would you consider helping to purchase gifts to make this birthday special? I can have mom send a few gift ideas, or you can provide her with a gift card so she can pick some things up herself. Thank you!

After 25 years of faithfully serving students and teachers in Orange County, one of our longtime Saddleback Church members is now facing the heartbreaking reality of potential homelessness. She is a compassionate, devoted college professor and mentor with a clear anointing on her life. Due to a sharp decline in student teacher enrollment, her income has been drastically reduced. Yesterday, she received a 3-day pay-or-quit notice and urgently needs $900 in rental assistance to avoid becoming homeless by this Friday. Next month she will begin receiving income from new jobs and expects to cover her rent going forward. However, she needs support to make it through May. She is single woman who lost her only child years ago; she has no family to turn to only her church family. With a Doctorate and Master’s in Education and a BS in Mathematics, she has dedicated her life to mentoring future teachers and guiding students in challenging STEM subjects. Her mission has always been to help students discover their God-given talents and pursue meaningful careers. Since 2012, she has also served faithfully in several Saddleback ministries. As National Teacher Appreciation Week comes to a close, let’s show support and gratitude to this sister in Christ who has poured so much into others. Your support can prevent her from becoming homeless and allow her to continue the work God has called her to do. Please select “FUND” when donating. Thank you for your generosity.

This request is for a minor and her eight-month-old baby boy. This minor is funny, witty, smart, social, and insightful. She is a leader and makes friends easily. She is growing, working through overcoming trauma she has experienced and preparing to transition into young adulthood. As a young parent, she is open to learning new skills and asks questions to support her baby’s development. She loves her baby boy who is a happy, active, and smiley baby! Having experienced foster care herself, she was devastated when her baby was temporarily removed from her care and is striving to prioritize making decisions for her and her baby’s safety. These items will support her in meeting her baby’s basic needs, increasing safety of the home, bonding with her baby and supporting her baby’s development. She is also expecting a second child and can benefit from a maternity body pillow so that she can get appropriate rest as well as items to support her to be more comfortable in her pregnancy. This minor has been impacted by the juvenile justice system and is working to remove barriers to gain employment. A gift card to Sephora would help her obtain makeup that will allow her to cover up facial tattoos and support her to walk into an interview or space feeling confident. Thank you for all your support to this minor and her family it is greatly appreciated! Items needed include bathing/hygiene, diapering, clothing, sleep sacks, play mat, feeding, safety and maternity items.

A church member has a college student, at New River Community College, in a class that is currently homeless along with his father. His father broke both his arms in a work accident due to faulty equipment. Since he is unable to work and the company has put a hold on workers compensation until July they are in need of assistance. The father is unable to work at least until he has surgery on both arms. Their current needs are food and gas for him to get back and forth to work and school. They have temporary housing with family but will need assistance with this need in the near future. If you can help or have any questions you can reach out to Austin Phillips.

The school has been working with a mom who was reunified with her children about a year ago. As a single parent she has needed extra support in keeping up with all of her kiddos and their needs. They've recently been accepted to move into a more affordable home at the beginning of June but they had to move out of their current place earlier than that. They are in need of a hotel room to hold them over until their rental is ready for move in. (The landlords are actually from MP!) The hotel is $84/night and we are hoping to cover 5 nights. There are several other churches claiming other nights as well!

I am advocating for a mom of 2 who has had a stroke paralyzing her left side. While ordering a wheelchair for her, we discovered she is sleeping on a mattress on the floor. This mom has had three back surgeries and needs her bed high enough to be comfortably transferred in and out of bed and to be able to rest well. She is very humble and grateful for any help she may receive.
