** UPDATE TO THIS REQUEST ** Thanks to the community at Belmont, we met the initial request of $520 and got the mother in touch with a mechanic who can complete the work needed! The mechanic did find other issues with the vehicle that need to be addressed for safety reasons and his estimate for these repairs would leave the need for an additional $800. I'm putting the request back up with the additional amount needed in hopes that we can get this mom on the road safely! Thank you!

Previous request: A mom is in need of assistance with fixing her car. While driving, her hood flew up and smashed her windshield. She is in need of a hood replacement and windshield replacement. She is a single mom of a teenager who just recently started working. The car is essential for this family as mom drives the child to work and the mother has significant health concerns and needs the car to get to her appointments. She is on disability so she does not have much income to work with. Mom has advised me that she could get a new to her hood and windshield from the junk yard for around $520. The car is an older model Honda Accord

This family are in need of bed for the children who currently are sharing a bed and there aren't any mattresses for the male children. They are also in need of organization buckets for the children's toys. They would be so appreciative of any help received, thank you.

Husband and wife with one child has taken in wife's 3 nieces and 1 nephew. Three are triplets and are one year of age, and one is 2 years of age. The assumption at this point is in a few months they are going to be filing for full custody of the children. When the children was brought from NC to VA there was some bugs in their belongings which was not noted until it had moved the issue to current home. Family are attempting treatment of the situation but really could use a commercial resolution.

A single mother of six is grieving the loss of her sister, who recently passed after a long time in hospice care. With limited income and difficult living conditions, she cannot afford the $2,500 needed for funeral expenses. She shared, “If we can meet this expense, we can finally lay my sister to rest and begin to heal. We wont have to worry about where the money is coming from” Losing a sister is heartbreaking, worrying about how to pay for her funeral makes it even harder. So please churches your support can bring real relief to this family in a time of deep sorrow. Any donation large or small will help lift this burden and bring peace to this hurting family.

5 Children need a "Power of Attorney" to remain in the care of a protective caregiver. The caregiver is the only one caring for the children. The children are in a stable living environment, and are safe, and are much better now than the previous residence they resided in; however, the guardian is not able to make decisions for the children, because she cannot afford $150 for a legal document giving her permission to make decisions for the children.

Providing the funds for this document, would make it much easier for the caregiver to enroll the children in school, schedule doctors' appointments & would be useful in the event of an emergency.

Mother had her items stolen, including her phone. She has been working hard to get back on her feet for the sake of her daughter. We are reaching out to the community for help in replacing her phone and supporting her in providing food for her daughter.

A previous mom we helped some time ago has stated the bed we gave is now worn. A photo was provided to show that. She would appreciate a twin bed for her son (mattress and box springs and rails, or platform frame) and a comforter. This will help her son to get the sleep he needs to be healthy and feel secure.

PLEASE NOTE: RISE CHURCH CAN MEET THIS NEED WITH A BED WE ALREADY HAVE IN OUR INVENTORY. NO FURTHER DONATIONS ARE NEEDED.
