A Family Stepping Up for Kin—Now in Need of Support

A local family with two children of their own recently opened their hearts and home to care for two young relatives who needed a safe and loving place to stay. Overnight, their household doubled in size—bringing both joy and new challenges as they work to create a stable and nurturing environment for all four children.

Through the Fostering Hope Closet, the family received two beds and mattresses, along with clothing and essential items to help ease the transition for the new children. This support has made a significant difference, giving the children a safe place to sleep and the comfort of having their own belongings.

However, the family is still in urgent need of a couch and a washer and dryer. With limited seating, gathering together as a family for quality time is difficult. A couch would provide a central place where these children can relax, connect, and feel at home.

A washer and dryer would meet a critical daily need. With four young children, laundry quickly becomes overwhelming. Having these appliances at home would ease the strain on both time and finances, allowing the caregivers to focus more fully on nurturing and supporting the children in their care.

These items will do more than furnish a home—they will help restore stability, dignity, and peace of mind to a family working hard to do the right thing in a difficult season.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

I would like to say “thank you” on behalf of my family. Whatever you can do will be greatly appreciated. I know that this is a temporary situation because I will be back in the workforce as soon as we get the support we need to get going. My story is long, but I will make it as concise as possible. When I got married to my wife, she had a boy, whom I love dearly. He is on the autism spectrum. I bring him up because everything that is going on is hardest on him. I had a job selling cars, and I made many sales, but what was promised was not paid. I lost several months giving my all to a job that did not cover my bills. I got a new job driving a school bus. At that time, we were living in my father’s house. That’s when the twins arrived. This was too much for him. He was always in a bad mood. His temper always got the better of him. We were afraid for the babies. M and J were afraid to be there when I wasn’t there, and I was afraid for them. One night he just cam in to the room screaming at my wife saying what s going on since the babies were crying and Meghan was getting frustrated with the babies he seemed like he was ready to hit one of us how angry he seemed .at the the time we were holding the babies I had to make a hard decision to keep my family safe cause it would of just gotten worse. We left to stay at a friend’s house, where we are now....but we have to leave very soon. Now we have no income and no savings. Thank you again for listening and all of your help.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

I have a family that is need of a twin bed for a 16-year-old teenage girl. The child is placed with her father and grandmother; however, the family has limited income and is unable to purchase a suitable bed. The teen is currently sleeping on a deflected air mattress that keeps deflating. This disrupts the teen sleep and prevents her from getting the proper sleep that she needs. When this need is met, this can benefit the youth at school and at home. Please consider this request, it will be greatly appreciated by the family.
