Brothers and Sisters, we have a single mother of 6 children who is pregnant and in need of a vehicle to help with an emergency situation she is currently facing. Her 6 children, ages 14, 11, 5, twins ages 1.5 years and currently pregnant expected in 2 months. One of daughters is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and need constant care. This mother is currently facing an unimaginable hardship in which her oldest child contracted Mono (virus) and has been hospitalized for 4 months now at UCLA. Unfortunately, the doctors now believe that he now has cancer. There are great unexpected incurring medical expenses that the family is trying to figure out how they will finance this new financial challenge. However, the greatest need that this mother faces is transportation. She has been with out a car and due to lack of transportation and she is having to pay for an Uber. She only see's her son at the hospital about once per week due to great financial strain. We are asking if there is a way that you can meet the needs of getting/giving her a vehicle to travel back and forth from home to Los Angeles with her kids. The hardship is immense and we are praying that the Lord will fulfill this need. This mother has a driver's license and is able to maintain the car if one is donated to her.

I am reaching out on behalf of a courageous mother who has recently reunified with her children after a year-long separation. She is working hard to create a safe and stable home for her three young children—all under the age of 4.

At this time, the family is in urgent need of the following items to support the children’s development and ease the mother’s daily responsibilities:

• A child’s walker to support one of the children who is learning to stand and walk. • A two-seater stroller to allow the mother to safely transport her children to and from appointments and essential outings.

Any support in meeting these needs would be greatly appreciated and will go a long way in helping reduce stressors for the mother as she rebuilds her family’s foundation. Your generosity will make a significant difference in the life of this family.

Hello Everyone, I have a client who recently turned 16 and requested a leather jacket for his birthday. This is a youth that lives in an emergency foster placement and does not have family care or support. Receiving this jacket would mean a lot to him.

The Item can be sent to the county (1202 Apollo Way Santa Rosa, Ca).

Thank you in advance, Tasia

Mom is out of work to stay home with kids while husband works. Trying to go to school but doesn't have childcare. Having a high chair would help the family to instead use that money towards food. The high chair would allow the child to sit safely to eat food. RISE CHURCH ALREADY HAS A HIGH CHAIR IN OUR INVENTORY, SO WE ARE NOT NEEDING ANY ADDITIONAL DONATIONS FOR THIS ONE. Thank you.

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.
