Story

•
1 Child 2 Adults

We are requesting assistance in purchasing specialized shoes for a six-year-old child currently in foster care. This child was born with club feet and recently underwent surgery on her legs. She has just had her casts removed and now wears leg braces to support her healing and mobility.

Due to the braces, she requires comfortable, practical shoes that are easy for her foster parents to put on and will not hinder her recovery. She currently wears a child size 12, though a slightly larger size may be needed to accommodate her braces. She enjoys light-up shoes, but most importantly, the shoes must provide comfort, stability, and ease of use. She cannot stomp or place excessive pressure on her feet at this time.

We are seeking either: • A pair of light-up shoes suitable for braces, or • A gift card to allow the foster family to purchase appropriate footwear.

What will happen when this need is met: When this need is met, the child will have access to shoes that support her mobility, comfort, and healing. Proper footwear will help prevent further injury or discomfort as she adjusts to walking with braces. It will also make daily activities easier for both her and her foster parents, reducing stress and promoting her independence and confidence as she recovers.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

The family needs assistance with funds to move back home to Louisiana where the family support is. The family is a family of 7 and has limited support here in TX. The mom is wanting to move back to LA and does not have the money to afford the Uhaul. Budget truck quoted $400 for a one way Uhaul rental from here to LA.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

We’re reaching out to our community with a special request. A loving young family who is going through a difficult time needs your help. They’re currently separated, but during their limited visitations, they treasure every moment spent together. The parents have no way to carry their infant safely and comfortably during these visits—something as simple as a stroller would make a world of difference. Imagine trying to hold a baby for hours while walking or waiting in public spaces, all while trying to savor each precious minute. If you have a gently used stroller to give, or are able to donate toward the purchase of one, you’ll be giving this family not just a piece of equipment—but a chance to be together in comfort, dignity, and love. Support with delivery of the item would be very helpful OR we are more than happy to pick it up!

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.
