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 Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

This15 y.o. child participates on the football team at his high school, he also runs track to stay in shape for football as that is his main focus. Football and his team has been this child's strongest connection as he has moved from home to home since entering care over a year ago. This child also had a major surgery to fix his urinary tubes earlier this year, leading to an absence of football and exercise, that this kid thrives on. Recognizing this, his placement mother signed him up for a summer strong program for his high school. Her son and several of their teammates are also participating, allowing to get ready for football season and connect with peers. Please help provide this opportunity.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

A single mother of a 6-year-old boy, 5-year-old girl, and 2-year-old girl is completing inpatient substance abuse treatment on 5/15/25 and has been accepted into a transitional living program so she can continue on her path of recovery. Payment of the security deposit, by cash or money order only, is required in order to move in. This mother is currently unemployed due to being in treatment but does have a job waiting for her as soon she relocates. Her children have been able to be with her while she is inpatient, but if she is not able to secure her spot in this transitional living program, she does not have a safe place to go, and the children will have to return to foster care placement until she can get settled somewhere. Assistance with this urgent need will allow this family to remain together and make a fresh start.

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!!
