Story

•
4 Children 1 Adult

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

A courageous mother who has recently escaped a devasting situation of ongoing domestic violence and severe isolation is in need of emergency rental assistance. Her husband, who was the sole provider in the household, is now incarcerated due to the abuse she endured. She fled for the safety of herself and her three children and is now in urgent need of support to stablize her family. This mother is now raising an 18-year-old son, who is a graduating senior in high school, a 13 year-old daughter, and a 2 year old son. In the aftermath of fleeing the abusive environment, she lost her hoome, vehicle, and all forms of stability. Despite these challenges, she has shown remarkable strength by securing employment and taking steps to rebuild her life. However, the burden of restarting from nothing--while also caring for three children--has left her unable to meet the full demands of her living expenses. Rental assistance would provide her with the stability needed to continue working, caring for her children, and to begin healing from the trauma they've experienced. This support would be a bridge toward long-term self-sufficiency and safety for a family who has already endured so much.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

The department is working with a 17 year old male that was previously involved in an abuse and neglect case. As a result of the trauma faced and also the family's gang involvement, he also was affiliated with that life style. He is currently in a placement that is supporting his transition out of that life and he is going through therapy to work through the abuse that he suffered. This youth has requested a amazon gift card to be able to get new clothes and shoes. As a result of this need being met he reports that he will feel more comfortable and confident in himself to create those pro-social supports with the other youth at this placement that he desperately needs and wants.

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".
