Story

•
1 Child 1 Adult

Hello, I am working with a paternal aunt, who has been placement for her nephew for the last year. The child is 4 years old and is in need of some summer clothes, new shoes and some additional help with groceries. This aunt is the permanent option and aunt is pursuing becoming the legal guardian and anything to help out this family would be greatly appreciated just to help them keep their head above water with the additional costs of opening their door to this kiddo who was in need.

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

A single dad has been living with his parents and his two kids. Because of having trouble securing job because his car burned with their house, he is having trouble securing housing. He is currently staying between hotels and shelters allowing his kids to stay with their grandparents in their temporary housing. He is needing to secure a car again to be able to get a job, and eventually a place to stay that could support him and his kids together. He is struggling in the domino effect of the fires that has caused him to lose everything. I'm advocating for $3,000 to secure some housing for him as well as some clothing and Uber costs for job interviews. He is looking for any kind of car and hopeful he can get one so transportation can be secured for work. He is eager to be able to get back to work to care for his kids again.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

The family is in need of a washer and dryer. The relative caregiver reported that it is challenging to use a laundromat, as the child has difficulty self-regulating in public setting and is easily overstimulated. Additionally, the caregiver must provide a high level of direct supervision and frequent redirection to the child. The caregiver is the sole provider for the family and has been focused on meeting the child’s basic needs such as food and shelter. She shared that purchasing a washer and dryer would create a significant financial strain.

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

A wife and her husband and their two children lost everything. They are currently running several foster homes for kids and continue to put that as a priority. They have been able to find temporary housing, but the cost of replacing items for them and their two children is increasingly difficult as they are still making mortgage payments and with the $6,000/mo rental. They have been able to receive some insurance payouts, but with the increase costs of goods, they are not going to be able to have that cover the rebuild. I am advocating for $2000 as they are needing to make purchases for clothing and small items for their temporary housing.

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".
