The family have recently relocated to Texas from Virginia. The mother just had her baby in Texas and moved with little items available to her new child or her other three children. The parents are currently between jobs and are in need of help with their newborn.

Urgent assistance needed for a family of five. Their power was shut off due to non-payment. The family has a hard-working mother. She is the sole provider. The father is in school full-time and is seeking part-time work to supplement the family's limited income. The lack of electricity affects three children: aged seven, five, and five-month-old infant. In the future, this family plans to enroll in the utility's equal payment plan.

14 year old female foster child has been placed with her grandmother. Child has high level of needs - she has battled cancer, leg amputation, and requires many medical appointments. The financial support from the placing state has not yet started - as such, grandmother is in need of groceries and/or food bank delivery.

We are reaching out on behalf of multiple families in urgent need of baby wipes. These families are facing difficult circumstances and are struggling to meet the basic care needs of their young children.

While we currently have diapers available to share, we are completely out of baby wipes. A donation of bulk baby wipes would be incredibly helpful and deeply appreciated by these families.

If you are able to donate wipes or provide a gift card (e.g., to Walmart, Target, or Amazon) to help us purchase them, it would make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and caregivers who are doing their best with very limited resources.

With gratitude,

We have a great aunt fostering her two great nieces at this time. Aunt works very hard to get the girls the services they need and always makes sure ends meet. Recently, Aunt had surgery and has been in recovery and now has unexpectedly taken in her mother who is on hospice. Aunt is in need of assistance with a couple of her utility bills while she is recovering and taking care of her mother plus two girls! If you can help this sweet great aunt in this time of need, please reach out to us.

We have an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of a single mother and her two young children. She’s working hard to provide for her family, but it’s tough to keep up with laundry when she can’t get to the laundromat. 
Right now, they’re sleeping on mattresses on the floor, and she’s seeking gently used washer and dryer units to ensure her kids have clean clothes. Additionally, bed frames would help restore their dignity and self-esteem.
Let’s come together as a community to support this family! If you have any appliances or beds to donate, please reach out! Every little bit helps!

I am requesting funding to help a 14 year old girl attend summer camp. She currently lives with her mother and older brother who is experiencing job and housing insecurity. The older brother is in and out of the home as he deals with staying out of the gang life. Despite all that she is dealing with this young lady continues to maintain her grades in school and a positive outlook on her situation. Attending camp will give this young lady a much needed reprieve from the current home situation and give her the encouragement that she needs to continue building on personal resilience and independence. Thank you for taking the time to consider this request.

Restore has been working with a family of two adults and 3 young children to assist them in getting settled in their new apartment. They lost their housing assistance in KS due to making too much income. They ended up having to move from KS to a cheaper apartment in MO. Both parents work - but with the expense of deposits, the move and cost increase of rent almost doubling, they are struggling to get on their feet. They found a way to make the deposits and initial rent but that really depleted them. This month they have been able to come up with all but $500 to cover the rent and utilities. We would like to help them with the remainder so they do not get behind and incur late fees. Once they get over the hump, they should be able to handle the expenses moving forward. If you would like to assist with any amount, it would be appreciated. This is a family we are walking beside and connecting with frequently hoping to show them support and the love of Christ. Please pray for them as they transition through many changes.

An EP apartment complex that the Wooddale Housing Assistance program partners with is starting a community garden for its residents. From the project leader: "This Saturday morning from 8:30 am to 11:30 or 12pm, we will be pulling weeds and getting the garden ready. After that I will purchase plants, dirt and mulch. Anyone that participates, can reap the benefits of the garden. Please let me know if anyone would like to assist or can even offer advice."

One of our partners has a mom who is expecting a baby on 7/9/25 who is in need of the following items. Mom is currently struggling financially and lacks family and friends’ support.
