Story

•
3 Children 1 Adult

This request is on behalf of a Hope Florida participant and her 3 children. This Mom is no stranger to hard work. She has always made ends meet, juggling responsibilities with unwavering strength. She is employed full-time, but recent cuts to her hours have strained her ability to provide the stability her family relies on. Her electricity was disconnected yesterday. With minor children at home, electricity is more than just a convenience; it is the foundation of their daily lives. It means warm meals, completed homework assignments, and a sense of normalcy. It means that their home remains a safe haven, not a battleground of financial despair. She was able to make a partial payment by taking some funds from the rent money to pay electric bill. She still owes them $382.30. Please assist this family in and show them an act of compassion that will ensure the children continue to thrive and allow Mom to get back on her feet. Your help will save this family from continued difficulties they face without electricity. Electric bill amount owed: $382.30.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

This request is for a 15-year-old boy who lives with his mother, grandmother, and older brother. The Care Coordinator has worked closely with this family and has witnessed the strong bond and love they share despite facing significant challenges. The grandmother is elderly and in poor health, the mother is currently attending school, and the older brother works full-time to support the entire household. The family is doing their best, but they have very limited financial resources and little outside support.

The teen is diagnosed with ADHD and Autism, and he often faces bullying, which has made school and social life particularly difficult for him. He is in need of clothing and school supplies, both for the upcoming school year and daily use. Providing these items would not only ease the family's financial burden but also support the teen's confidence and overall well-being.

He is in need of men’s XL shirts and shorts, pants or jeans in size XXL (40x30), XXL underwear, and size 12 shoes—ideally two pairs of tennis shoes and a pair of slides for summer. His preferred clothing colors are blue, grey, and green. In addition, he needs basic school supplies including a backpack, 3-ring binders, paper, pens, pencils, and folders. Any support provided would be deeply appreciated and would make a meaningful difference for this family during a difficult time.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

The children came into the dependency system in August of 2024. The caregiver has had these children since she entered the system. The caregiver is currently not receiving any funding. The caregiver has provided a caring, stable placement for the children. The caregiver has been working overtime to help meet the needs of the children until she is able to receive funding.

The caregiver had to buy all new bedroom furniture with her own money while also supporting her biological daughter. The caregiver could use any support during this time. The caregiver is requesting a twin bed comforter set and a toddler bed bedding set.

When the request is met, the family will be able to continue providing stable housing for the child and the children will have appropriate bedding.
