Story

•
1 Child 1 Adult

This request pertains to a 6-year-old girl and her current placement with her Grandmother. The child is in need of her own bed. For the first few weeks of her being placed with her Grandmother, she was co-sleeping with her in her bed. Not only was this a necessity at the time, but it was also the child's preference. Sleeping with her Grandmother made her feel more comfortable and safe. Now that she is settling in with Grandma, the family is requesting support for acquiring a bed for the child. We are looking to get a twin bed set for her. She needs a frame, mattress, bedding, and a pillow. Having her own bed will help foster her independence and improve her relationship with her Grandmother. Any assistance for this matter would be SO greatly appreciated and it would go a long way for this child and her family.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

Requesting assistance with providing bedding for two female children (3 year old and 10 year old) recently placed with their aunt and uncle. The girls share a bedroom, thus two twin beds (along with box spring, frame, mattress, bedding) or a bunk bed (along with mattresses and bedding) would be perfect. The girls are currently sharing an air mattress. Due to this being a new case, there is a high probability the children will be in relative care for several months or longer. A more permanent bedding arrangement would make the girls happy and provide a safe space. Due to the sudden placement, the relatives were not prepared/able to spend funds already allocated to other expenses. Any assistance with this request would help preserve a kinship placement.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

A single mother of four is currently facing a difficult financial situation and has been unable to pay her rent for the month of May. The mother had severe car troubles and paid to have her car fixed. Having transportation is critical as she is a single mother with little support. While she did get her car fixed, it took most of her monthly income and is short rent. She is extremely worried about the possibility of eviction and is reaching out in hopes of receiving some assistance. She is behind $1,000 of her rent to keep a roof over her children's heads during this challenging time. Her children, ages 3, 4, 6, and 11, are the sweetest bunch you could ever meet. They deserve stability and security to continue thriving. This mother is doing her best to provide for them despite the hardships she’s facing, and any support or guidance you could offer during this difficult period would mean the world to her and her children. If she is unable to pay rent and face eviction, the kids will enter foster care. There is no family or friend support to keep the kids.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

In the month of June, the aftercare case team will be celebrating all of the families whose children were reunified with their parents/guardians during the past year (June 2024 - end of May 2025). The case team is planning to make gift baskets for each family. One of the main items needed is baskets or something similar to hold items based on a determined theme per family. The case team thought donated baskets or gift cards to purchase them would allow them to use their full budget on the themed items for each family's basket. I have attached pictures of possible baskets/tubs as guidance. They do not have to be the exact ones. The case team will be putting baskets together at the beginning of June and delivering these gift baskets in the month of June. Thank you all for the continued care and support, it is truly making a difference in children's and their families lives.

Items sought - 30 medium to large sized baskets, tubs or containers or gift card or to go purchase them. Gently used donated gift baskets and bags would be appreciated as well.

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!
