Story

•
2 Children 1 Adult

I am requesting support for a single mother currently experiencing a high-risk pregnancy. She is due at the end of June and is in need of the following assistance to help maintain a safe and healthy home environment: Deep Cleaning of her Home, Laundry Service (drop off and pick-up if possible), food storage shelving installation or support in her kitchen to help organize and maximize space, and an air conditioning window unit. This Mom has had health issues and is struggling to keep up on house hold chores with an active 2 year old. The family lives on the second floor of a walk up and does not have access to a washing machine and currently does not have the necessary ability or transportation to bring her laundry to a laundromat. The home is also very warm due to a lack of air conditioning. Any help or resources available to assist her during this challenging time would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your support and care.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

A eight year old boy who is being fostered by his aunt is in need of assistance. The little boy attends an aftercare program after school so his aunt can work. Do to changes in the DHS child care network the after school program does not accept DHS subsidy. The aunt does not have the financial means to take care of this unforeseen bill. The Aunt just found out about this and the bill is due tomorrow. This family is already experiencing financial difficulty with the addition of the young boy to the family. They are not receiving any financial help from DHS yet. So any kind of assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Support an Expecting Mom and Her Unborn Baby

This young woman is new to the area and has no family to assist her. Shortly after moving here, she discovered she was pregnant. Despite being heavily pressured to abort, she is courageously trying to carry this pregnancy to term. Lacking support and resources, she and her unborn child now find themselves in a very vulnerable position. She has requested a stroller with an attachable car seat to assist her in the process of preparing for her little one. Any additional support you can offer would be most welcome as well. Thank you for your time and consideration

Alleviate Food/Essentials Insecurity

Please consider helping a single mom and her 2 year old daughter here in our Scottsville community. They are in need of a refrigerator as theirs went out and now they do not have one. This would help them keep cold food instead of just shelf food for meals. This single mom works multiple jobs including an in-home bakery. Appliances are very expensive and finances are tight for her. Not only would this help with their food but it would also help her continue her business and the flow of income.

We have contacted Doug's Maytag in Scottsville and they have a new Amana for $667 or a new Whirlpool for $754. There is a $79 delivery fee and they will remove and dispose of the old one for her.

If you do not have a refrigerator to give, please consider giving financially through Go To Link In the "Give To" section select "Single Mom's Ministry" with a note for "Refrigerator".

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!
