Story

5 Children 2 Adults

The child has been diagnosed with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, more commonly known as Brittle Bone disease. She has broken bones doing very simple everyday things, such as her foster parent putting on her coat when it was cold outside. She is now walking and is in more danger of breaks and fractures, as busy as toddlers can be. She recently broke her leg just from falling over when trying to walk. Foster parent is needing some safety items for the child as she is growing and exploring in the home. Foster mom has another foster child who is a toddler and 4 biological children in the home.

Foam puzzle pieces for floor (multiple to fill rooms). Rug Grippers to keep rugs from slipping when walking on them. Knee pads & Soft helmets. You may use any of these links or go search on your own.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

A mother is trying to obtain birth certificates for her two children from West Virginia. Each certificate requires a $12.00 fee, and she has attempted to apply multiple times, but the applications have been rejected due to errors she may be making during the process. She reached for assistance with completing the application correctly and also asked if there might be any support available to cover the $24.00 total fee -- and perhaps someone to help her through the computer process. The birth certificates are needed to enroll the older child in Kindergarten and the younger in Head Start. Thank you so much for any help you can provide!!!

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

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.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

We have a single mother who is engaged in an intensive voluntary DHS case. She has been looking for employment. She found a job and was given a provisional job offer, but she needs a laptop and a printer. Client is only open to a new laptop, as she wants to ensure reliability for work and that it doesn't have any one else's personal information is on the laptop. She is open to a used printer. Walmart has windows laptops starting around $200. Wireless printers are about $55. Please be aware many newer models of laptops do not have USB ports, so a wireless printer may be needed. Client has looked into community resources and unfortunately, many grants have ended and therefore there are not programs available. The mother would like to accept the job offer by 5/14/25. So, this is a urgent need.

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!
