Story

•
5 Children 1 Adult

This request is for a family that has just recently been reunified with their mother who moved into a home big enough for her and her five children to all live together. The family has limited furniture for the home and the mother works as much as possible to support her family but is on a fixed income. The family needs living room furniture for a downstairs space that currently has nothing in it. A dining room table and at least 6 chairs so they can all sit down and eat together. They have three bedrooms that need dressers so the children’s clothes can all have space and feel like home. The requested items will help create a supportive space for the youths to thrive academically, mentally and emotionally. These items will help them feel more encouraged, engaged, and at home in their space.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

Requesting a donation of 150 helmets (or any amount you can give) to be distributed at our upcoming Bike & Walking Safety Family Night at Mirror Lake Elementary on May 23rd. We are hosting this event in partnership with the Federal Way Police Department to teach students important bike and walking safety skills.

One of our key goals is to ensure that every child who rides a bike or scooter has access to a properly fitting helmet for their safety. During the event, children will receive free helmet fittings, along with opportunities to participate in a bike safety course, walking safety games, and other educational activities.

Providing these helmets will help equip students with essential safety gear they may not otherwise have access to, and it will promote safe biking and scootering in our community.

Thank you for considering this request. Please let me know if you need any additional information about the event or how the helmets will be distributed.

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

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.

Alleviate Food/Essentials Insecurity

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.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

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!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

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.
