Support an Expecting Mom and Her Unborn Baby

I am supporting a young woman who is 7 months pregnant and in-between housing. As she begins to prepare for the arrival of her son, she is in need of a crib, mattress, bedding, and a stroller to help her out after he is born. Any other kinds of baby supplies like diapers and clothing for the baby would also be incredibly helpful. This soon-to-be mother was attending a 4-year college with aspirations to become an immigration attorney, but decided to take a break this semester due to her pregnancy. She is currently looking for FT or PT work to help supplement her household income. This support with these baby supplies will offer her family some breathing room while looking for new work and a new residence.

Here are the items she would like support with if at all possible: Go To Link - Delta Children Essex 4-in-1 Convertible Baby Crib, Bianca White with Natural Legs ($219) Go To Link - Letmxiu Premium Crib & Toddler Mattress, 100% Knitted Fabric, Premium Fleece Surface-Hypoallergenic, 5" Thick Firm Soft Crib Mattress,... ($69) Go To Link - Mompush Wiz 2-in-1 Convertible Baby Stroller with Bassinet Mode, Foldable Infant Stroller with Reversible Seat and Large UPF 50+ Canopy ($169) Clothing Gift Card for Baby ($100) Diaper Gift Card for Baby ($100)

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

We are reaching out on behalf of a courageous mother who has been navigating serious mental health challenges, including PTSD, anxiety, ADHD, and major depression. Since 2023, these struggles have intensified.

In April 2023, a lightning strike during a severe storm caused a fire in her duplex. Her landlord’s side was severely damaged, while her basement suffered water damage. The space where her family gathered and her kids did homework was left unusable. While they were physically safe, the trauma of that night has had a lasting impact.

Since then, she’s struggled to feel safe or connected to her home. Despite renting a dumpster, hiring professional help, and following her psychologist’s advice, the clutter and disarray remain overwhelming. She has been trying for two years, but it’s become clear she cannot do this alone.

At the encouragement of her support team at Treetops, she is reaching out again. We’re seeking help with organizing, decluttering, and light cleaning. A shelf or storage support would also make a big difference.

If you or your team can offer hands-on help or resources, your support will mean the world to her and her children

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A father at Point Church has recently regained custody of his three children and could use some clothing items for them. He is in need of a few shirts, a few pairs of shorts, a pair of pajamas, a few pairs of socks and underwear, and a pair of shoes for his 5-year-old daughter (clothing size 5-6, shoe size 11-13), 7-year-old daughter (clothing size 8-10, underwear size 10-12, shoe size 12-13), and 10-year-old son (clothing size 14, shoe size 5). Secondhand clothing in good condition is fine. It would be a blessing for them to have these items by July 11.

Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

We have been connected to a family who is fostering through DHHS. This foster family has placement of 3 little children (ages from 4-8) that they are in the process of adopting. They had their washing machine and air conditioning break down in the same week and only had the funds to replace one, so they prioritized the air conditioning for the summer heat wave we had this past week. The family had a high capacity 5.3 cu-ft top-load washing machine to be able to meet with laundry demands of their family and would like their replacement to have a similar capacity and similarly top-loading. The youngest child has some higher needs and frequently wets the bed which requires regular use of a washing machine for larger bedding items. The family consulted a technician who reported the costs of the repair for the washing machine would be at least $800 and the technician recommended buying a new one over paying for repairs. The listed cost is for a 5.3 cu-ft top-load with delivery from Lowe's.
