Story

•
2 Children 1 Adult

This request is for a car seat for a child that is 40-60 pounds to support a kinship placement. The grandmother of this child has just recently taken over the sole care of her grandson and granddaughter (newborn). Her grandson has autism and she has already raised money to pay for the registration fee into his special needs day program. She raised $650 by making dinner plates for people to buy out of her own home. Her grandkids health and safety means everything to her and she is working so hard to maintain that. She is also working toward her license to be an in-home childcare provider to not only be more equipped to care for her grandchildren but to also be able to provide care for other children in her community. Despite being a cancer survivor and faced with losing her job and other financial hardships, this one woman has remained so positive and so full of light for the little ones she cares so much about.

Specific Needs:

  • One car seat for a child weighing 40-60 pounds
  • Food/Groceries to help them stay afloat as they face this family transition

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

We are seeking help for a loving grandmother of six who needs an old, broken refrigerator removed from her home. Her family has done intensive case management to support her, but this task requires more hands and resources than they have. She is unable to move it herself due to health and mobility issues. Any assistance with removal and proper disposal would be deeply appreciated and make a big difference in her daily life.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

This sweet mom has had a rough time with housing recently. Her landlord gave her very short notice regarding renovations coming to her rental that they would need to move out for, so she has been hustling to find a new home for herself and her children that fits within her budget. She finally found one that she can move into next week, but she is struggling to come up with the security deposit. Any small amount would be a great help to this family!

Help a Senior with Medical Needs

We’re reaching out on behalf of a beloved retired pastor and former U.S. Marine who served at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. He’s now facing serious health issues, including bladder cancer, and chronic kidney disease linked to toxic water exposure during his service, in addition he’s had multiple strokes and has dementia. Though he qualifies under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, he’s not yet received any compensation or VA benefits. He currently lives in a board and care facility, but his Social Security falls $800 short each month. His wonderful daughter, who visits and helps care for him, has been covering the difference. Unfortunately, she suffered a medical emergency in March and hasn’t been able to work and has had to move in with a friend. Due to errors in processing her short-term disability, she hasn’t received income since then. Her close friends stepped in to help cover the past 2 months but they can no longer continue. With 2 months of unpaid board and care approaching, no clear timeline for when she’ll receive payment, and no other options, she is extremely worried about how she’ll cover the costs for June and July. We’re working on VA benefits and finding a more affordable facility if her income isn’t restored soon, but that is a lengthy process. In the meantime, we’re asking for your help to keep this faithful man who gave his life to serving God and our country in his current facility and not be forced onto the street. Please select “FUND” when giving.

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

Dear Team Sherry, this is our final update! Sherry, Kaya, and Kennedy are packing and preparing for the big move at the end of June. Kaya and Kennedy will move into their grandfather’s home in Yorba Linda and commute to Saddleback College. Kennedy graduated high school, got her permit, and will have her license soon. Kaya is carefully planning her transfer to Fullerton College in another year. Cameron remains in New York and is doing well. Sherry will be moving to Nevada to live with a longtime friend. It’s an emotional shift after many years living together, but this past year has been a gift. Thanks to your support, Sherry provided a stable home, helped Cameron begin a new path, supported Kaya’s growth, and celebrated Kennedy’s graduation all in their family home. While the family will no longer live together, they’re ending this chapter with something meaningful: Sherry, Kaya, and Kennedy will all serve as volunteers at Royal Family Kids Camp in late June. It’s a full-circle moment, as giving back to other foster families has always been a passion of theirs. Sherry says this year has been nothing short of a gift from God and that your generosity and prayers was the conduit of that blessing. On behalf of Max, thank you for stepping out in faith and making a lasting difference. Your support was not just financial it was a message of hope and love, and it changed the course of a family’s life. Thank you, Team Sherry! Please select “FUND” when donating.

Alleviate Food/Essentials Insecurity

The client is seeking assistance with her South Central Power bill, which is scheduled for disconnection on June 3, 2025, due to a past-due balance of $349.60. She is able to contribute $100 toward the amount owed.

The client recently experienced significant hardship, including a divorce followed by a car accident that was not her fault. As a result, she was temporarily unable to work and fell behind on her bills. She has since returned to full-time employment and now has a sustainable income.

Given her current circumstances and demonstrated effort toward self-sufficiency, she has been referred to InterFaith for possible assistance.
