An upper elementary student in our school has just been diagnosed with liver cancer. He is currently in the hospital and receiving treatment. His situation is dire because they are finding additional masses in his other organs. He has 3 other siblings, including a twin, who attend our school. His mother does not have a car and is having to split her time between the child in the hospital and the children at home. She is spending hours on public transport and is having to take additional time off work. The loss of income is making it difficult for the mother to pay for groceries and keep up to date on her bills. Staff from the school are walking the other students to and from school each day to ensure their attendance. The family could use support in providing transportation to the hospital in the form of Uber or Lyft gift cards or support with groceries. They would be willing to have groceries dropped to them or even gift cards for a grocery store.

We are in urgent need of funding to purchase two mattresses (we highly recommend with waterproof covers) for a foster family who is working to get siblings placed in their home. As part of the placement transition, they will be hosting the children for some overnight visits soon and they have worked to purchase beds for their home. As a result, they are asking for help in purchasing the mattresses to put on the beds due to the sudden financial strain. These kids will be looking to make this home a permanent placement, so these items would be for use long into the future. If you can support this family from our own church in some (or all!) of these items, please donate now. If you have bedding items available that you can donate, please mention that. We would like to purchase the mattresses brand new. Thank you for your consideration and support!

We are appealing to the community to help a tight-knit family stay together and help set them up for success. A teenage brother and sister love their mother, who works very hard to provide for them after tragically losing their father. The children are very polite, friendly and looking forward to being of age to be able to help their mother and family. The teenage boy loves welding and wants to make a career in that field. He is also open to apprenticeship and mentoring from experts. The teenage girl loves to sing and entertain family and friends. This appeal is for welding supplies, educational material and musical device which the children would love to have to be able to further explore their talents and passions.

We are assisting a family in Austintown who is currently facing financial hardship. They have a young daughter with autism in need of summer clothing (size 4T) and toddler shoes (size 8). Their teenage daughter is also in need of support and could use medium-sized shirts, size 13 pants, and women’s shoes (size 9–10). Any help with providing new or gently used clothing items would be greatly appreciated to help this family feel supported and prepared for the summer season.

Mom is in the process of moving out of transitional living and into her own place. She just moved into her new apartment May 9th. She has absolutely nothing except for her and children’s clothing and toys. She was forced to start completely over when she left an unsafe relationship. She moved into a 3 bedroom/2 bath apartment. She needs your help with one crib frame & mattress for the 1-year-old little boy. One toddler bed frame and mattress for a 3-year-old little boy. One bunk bed frame and mattresses are needed for two boys ages 8 & 12. One twin bed frame and mattress is needed for a 9-year-old girl.

Mom is in need of two window air conditioner units for her apartment. Currently, the children are not able to sleep in their rooms because of the temperature (either too hot in the summer or no heat in the winter). Mom also needs a twin size mattress for a bedframe that she has for her daughter.

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.
