A resilient youth who has recently aged out of foster care, she is currently attending professional development trainings and seeking meaningful employment. She aims to obtain her Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT) certification, with the goal of working with children—a step aligned with her long-term career aspiration of becoming a pediatric psychiatrist.

A family I am currently working with is in urgent need of support. The maternal aunt has stepped in as an out-of-home safety monitor for her teenage nephew, providing him with a safe and stable environment while the family works through ongoing challenges. Unfortunately, the aunt’s food stamp benefits were recently hacked, leaving her without critical resources to feed her household. She is doing her best to provide for the teen and maintain stability, but with limited income and no access to her food benefits for the rest of the month, she is struggling to meet their basic food needs. Any support in the form of grocery assistance would be deeply appreciated to help them through this difficult time. Thank you for your compassion and support of this family.

This is a mother who is currently involved in a DCFS case and is struggling financially. She is in need of a dining room table to share meals with her children. Obtaining this table would demonstrate to the department that she is capable of furnishing her home and preparing for a future reunion with her children. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

We have the most lovely foster parents that continue to amaze us by stepping up to help whenever they can! They currently have a full house! They recently took placement of 3 teenage girls, and they are awaiting another teen within the next few weeks! They are short on storage and making accommodations so everyone has space and they don’t have to then anyone away, they are looking for a long dresser and a chest of drawers to fit the spaces and make the kids comfortable!

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".

Please help us to meet the need for a powered mower. We have an adult son thriving in our recovery community who provides care for his aging mother. He is reestablishing a life in sobriety and she is on a fixed income, so their resources are limited. They're currently unable to mow her lawn. Thank you blessing this family!

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.
