Story

•
3 Children 1 Adult

The client is a 38-year-old father of three children, ages five, four, and one. Approximately eight months ago, the client and his spouse separated. Following the separation, the client and his children found themselves to be in a desperate situation. The family currently reside with the paternal grandmother, who serves as their primary support system. The client takes on gig work when possible; however, he is unable to secure consistent hours due to childcare limitations. His mother, who is elderly, struggles to manage the daily care of three young, active children on her own. The client is without a car and relies on public transportation. The children’s mother has disengaged completely. Despite these difficulties, the client is actively working toward stability. He is currently recovering from alcohol use and regularly attends weekly counseling and support meetings. He is working with community support networks to obtain reliable childcare, which would allow him to pursue steady employment. The client is seeking assistance with clothing for the children, as they were left with the bare minimal following the separation. A bus pass, which would enable him to access job opportunities. The client wants to work and provide for his children. The client would be appreciative of any assistance that can be provided. Note: The family is open to gently worn children's clothes. Girls: 18-24 Months, Girls 4T (Shoe size 7.5 youth) Boys 6t or 7t (Shoes-11.5)

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

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?

Help Improve an Adult’s Well-Being

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!

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.
