Help Remove an Educational Barrier for a Child

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to advocate on behalf of one of our students and their family, who are in need of financial support to cover school-related fees and participate in our upcoming end-of-year activities.

This student has consistently demonstrated dedication, positivity, and school spirit throughout the year. Their family has also been an incredible part of our school community—volunteering their time, attending events, and offering support whenever needed. Their presence and contributions have been deeply appreciated by both staff and fellow families.

Recently, the student’s mother began a new job after a period of unemployment. While she is working hard to catch up on essential bills and delayed needs, the added costs of school fees and end-of-year events are currently out of reach.

We are seeking support to help cover these expenses so the student can fully participate and be celebrated alongside their peers. Any assistance—whether full or partial—would make a meaningful difference and allow us to honor a family that has given so much to our school community.

Thank you for considering this request.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

We are reaching out on behalf of a young family in our community who are currently facing a deeply challenging time. This couple, already loving parents to a young child, are now expecting their second baby—a long-hoped-for blessing that has brought them immense joy and gratitude.

However, early in the pregnancy, the expectant mother experienced a serious hemorrhage and has since been placed on strict bedrest to protect both her health and the health of her unborn child. This sudden change has made it impossible for her to continue working, significantly reducing the family’s household income.

While her husband continues to work and care for their child, the family is struggling to keep up with essential expenses. They are currently seeking assistance with a utility bill in the amount of $116, which is overdue. This support would provide immediate relief and help ensure that their home remains a safe and stable environment during this critical time.

Despite the challenges, the couple remains faithful and hopeful, trusting in the kindness of their community. Your support—no matter how small—would make a meaningful difference in their lives.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

We have a young man who lives with autism, is non-verbal, but communicates through drawing. He currently lives in a facility specific for young men similar to him. During a behavioral evaluation, the evaluator suggested to the house manager that it would help the child if he had a designated space to draw or a drawing desk with a stool. This would help him have a special/specific place to draw instead of drawing on the walls and furniture.

Help Assist a Victim of Domestic Violence

A community serving agency is in need of support for assisting in keeping families safe, when home is no longer safe, typically due to domestic violence situations. Often it is a quick decision that has to be made immediately, often late at night and when most shelters are full. I would love to prepare them for when things do happen, they are ready and have some support. Thanks in advance for helping!!
