Request: #231591 • Urgency: Critical • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Fayetteville • State: Arkansas • Zip Code: 72703 • County: Washington • Submitted By: AR- Dept. of Child & Family Services

Story

•
3 Children 1 Adult

The applicant is a single mother of three teenage sons who recently relocated to a new home in hopes of creating a stable and fresh start for her family. However, upon moving in, she encountered an immediate financial challenge: her electricity was disconnected due to an outstanding balance of $550. As a result, she and her children have had to stay temporarily with her mother, as the lack of electricity—particularly the absence of air conditioning at night—has made the home unsafe and uninhabitable, especially for teenagers.

This mother is making a sincere effort to provide a better environment for her children, where they can feel settled, safe, and supported. The current situation is not only disrupting their daily routines—such as school, sleep, and basic hygiene—but also placing additional emotional and financial strain on the family.

Reinstating electricity in the new home would allow this family to move in fully, regain stability, and focus on rebuilding their lives together. The mother is not seeking ongoing support, but rather immediate help to overcome this urgent and temporary hardship. Providing this assistance would have a lasting positive impact on the well-being and development of her teenage sons, and give this dedicated mother the chance to move forward with dignity and hope.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

A determined mother is just steps away from reunifying with her 11 year old son. With a trial home visit set to begin soon, she’s working hard to meet every requirement—but she still needs a few essential items to make their home complete: a washing machine and a dresser.

Thanks to the Fostering Hope Closet, she has already received a twin bed and mattress for her son, along with a donated gas stove—removing two major barriers.

Now, your donation of a gently used or new item can help her take the final steps toward bringing her child home. This support isn’t just practical—it’s a lifeline of hope, stability, and a new beginning for a family on the path to healing.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A mom of a 9 year old and 3 month old is in need of your support. After welcoming a new baby into her family this last February, this woman has faced some unexpected challenges. Her newborn baby has had many medical challenges, requiring endless doctors' visits and facing many unknowns. This mama has taken it all in stride, but this hardship is wearing on her family physically, emotionally, and financially. This woman and her husband left most of their support system in their home country a year ago, and are navigating these stressors primarily on their own. They are in need of some crucial items to help support the recovery, safety, and wellbeing of their newborn son: a travel system, a crib and crib mattress. Having these larger items covered would help to lift some of this mother's burden in caring for her family. Thank you in advance for showing this mother and her family the faithful provision of God through His family! Travel System link: Go To Link Crib link: Go To Link Crib Mattress link: Go To Link

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".
