Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

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.

Help Make a Foster Care Placement

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!

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.
