A group home for boys in foster care is in need of some dishes. Over time the dishes break or get lost and they are down to very few. They have decided it would be best to get dishes that are microwaveable and dishwasher safe. They would also like each child to have their own color so they can learn to take care of their dishes by setting the table, cleaning up their own mess and washing their dishes. Life skills are such an important part of what they teach the boys in the home. They have found some dishes on the WROVA website they would like to have. Please feel free to look them up on the website or make a donation and they can order them. Any help is appreciated!

Parents of five need help covering the costs of hair follicle drug testing so the courts can assess their progress.

Mom is a young, single mother age 20 with a 2 year old son. Mom's car is broken down and she believes it may be the alternator. Is unable to take the car to a mechanic to determine what is wrong with the car. Recently had to move back in with her mother due to expenses. Mom would like assistance in determining what is wrong with the car so that she has it to look for work and transport her son to daycare. She indicated she has a job available but no way to transport herself and her son at this time. Is there possibly a mechanic who could look at the car and help determine what is wrong so that we know how to help going forward?

A member of Doxa shared a request where they would benefit in having another bed since they assist their neighbor kids while their mom works doubles to make ends meet. Having a bed will allow her to serve the kids in having their own space when they spend the evenings over.

I placed Full/Double, but if you have a twin that works too. Let me know if you have any of the items or want to contribute. Kayley and myself, Nikolai, would be the contact person and I can handle PU and drop off of these items. Thanks y’all!

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!

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.
