Story

•
2 Children 1 Adult

This family is just coming from homelessness and working on saving money to get a house soon. Unfortunately there was some medical needs that came up for the family that they could really use the support of their community to help them. This would be such a huge benefit for them not only helping them pay and get there medical procedure started but also be able to keep saving money so they can get there own house soon. This mother is working so hard to get her family into house and saving every little bit of money she gets so they can afford one soon. She would appreciate this support so much. Thank you so much for all the help care portal provides for us and all the families you have helped me with!!

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

62141579- Help a Loving Grandmother and Her Grandson

A devoted grandmother has opened her heart and home to her 9-year-old grandson under unexpected circumstances. Despite the challenges, she has stepped up selflessly—going so far as to take on a part-time job to provide for him. Right now, the child doesn't have a bed of his own. To ensure he sleeps comfortably, his grandmother has been giving up her own bed each night. She's doing everything she can to provide a stable, loving environment, but they need a little help.

They are in need of the following items:

A twin or full-size bed, mattress, and bed frame Sheets, blankets, and covers (preferably in blue or gray) A dresser (black or brown; gently used is perfectly fine)

This strong and caring grandmother is working hard to give her grandson comfort, security, and a sense of home. Any support—whether through donations of items or help spreading the word—is deeply appreciated.

Thank you for your kindness and blessings to all who can help.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

A devoted and hardworking grandmother is providing full-time care for her six-year-old grandson, who has been diagnosed with asthma, ADHD, and Autism. After moving back to Ohio from Arizona to create a stable home for her family, she is doing everything she can to provide for her grandson and her three children on her own.

Despite recently starting a new job and taking steps toward long-term stability, the family is currently without proper beds. All four children—including her grandson with serious medical needs—are in need of beds to sleep in. This is especially urgent as her grandson is preparing for three upcoming respiratory surgeries and needs a safe, comfortable place to rest and recover.

Providing beds for these children would bring immediate comfort and dignity to a family that is doing their very best under challenging circumstances. This grandmother is holding everything together with love and strength, but she cannot meet this need alone.

Any support in helping this family receive four beds would be deeply appreciated. Your kindness will help bring peace, rest, and hope to a home that truly needs it.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

A devoted and loving grandmother is caring for her six-year-old grandson, who has been diagnosed with asthma, ADHD, and Autism. After living in Arizona, she made the decision to return to Ohio to provide a more stable and supportive home for him.

She recently started a new job, and while this is a hopeful step forward, she is currently facing financial hardship. As she works to rebuild stability, she is in need of groceries to help provide for her family during this transition. Grocery gift cards or assistance with food would be an incredible help as she waits for her first paycheck and continues navigating this difficult time.

Her grandson is also preparing for three upcoming surgeries related to his respiratory condition, which adds another layer of stress and urgency to her situation.

Any support—big or small—would mean so much to this family. Your generosity can help lift some of the weight she’s carrying and allow her to focus on what matters most: caring for her grandson.

Thank you for your kindness.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

A kinship home is hoping for financial assistance with summer camp for the youth in her care. This placement is a single mom of 4 and is currently the placement home for her 15-year-old nephew. She is needing the children in summer programs to keep them safe and busy while she continues to work and balances having 5 children out of school for the summer. There is an available spot for this youth at the Boys and Girls Club this summer but comes with a coverage fee that we are hoping to get covered. Providing this will help to take the stress off of thing single mom this summer and will help to keep this teen involved in appropriate summer activities.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

A devoted and loving grandmother is currently providing kinship care for her six-year-old grandson, who has been diagnosed with asthma, ADHD, and Autism. Originally from Ohio, she had been living in Arizona, but recently returned home to Ohio in hopes of creating a more stable and nurturing environment for her grandson.

Despite her unwavering dedication, the grandmother is facing financial challenges. She has just secured a new job—a hopeful step toward stability—but is in urgent need of gas cards to get to and from work until she receives her first paycheck. Having reliable transportation in these early weeks is essential for her to maintain employment and continue providing for her family.

Adding to her load, her grandson is preparing for three upcoming surgeries related to his respiratory condition, which adds emotional and financial strain to their situation.

Any support—no matter the amount—would be deeply appreciated. The amount listed in the request is only a suggestion; whatever you’re able to contribute in the form of gas cards would truly make a difference for this family during a difficult time.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

For the first time ever, between CBC Middle School and High School Camp, we have 14 Neighbor's Ministry Students who would like to attend. This is a record number. Every one of them is a the child of an amazing Single Mom who is either working their tail off to provide for their family, or in two cases, facing serious health issues.

Our Neighbor's Ministry students have been super committed this year to attending Tutoring and/or Bible Study. Many of the Mom's are involved in our Neighbor's Mom's Bible Study as well. This is a HUGE answer to prayer as we have been working to go deeper with the Gospel with our families. However, we were not prepared for the amount of scholarships we would need this year and did not budget for it. In order to be good stewards of our budget and to give them a potentially life changing experience, would you help us cover the cost of sending them to Camp with CBC Student Ministry this summer?

I am convinced that including them in this experience an make a tremendous impact is a testament to the collaboration between Neighbor's and Study Ministry over the past few years. Our heart is that they would come to know Jesus and to be involved and discipled by both our Neighbor's Ministry and Student Ministry strengthening their Christian community and support.

Wether it is $5 or $500, every penny goes to the cost of them attending camp.

Help Assist a Victim of Domestic Violence

I am reaching out to request your urgent assistance for a family in need. A local mother, who is currently facing an extremely difficult and traumatic situation, is in urgent need of hotel accommodations for the week.

Her 15-year-old daughter has recently been the victim of domestic violence. The young girl was severely attacked by her boyfriend and is now in critical condition. As a result, the mother is staying in a hotel nearby to be by her daughter’s side during this incredibly challenging time.

Due to the circumstances, the mother is in desperate need of support to continue staying close to her daughter while ensuring her own well-being. Your help in providing hotel accommodations would be a great blessing and relief for this family during such a heartbreaking ordeal.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I’m reaching out today to ask for help for a strong, resilient, loving mother of a 15-year-old boy, a 2-year-old little boy, and a precious 7-month-old baby girl. For the last four years, this family lived in a one-bedroom apartment in Kerman, dealing with heartbreaking conditions. The apartment was infested with roaches and had black mold growing in the walls — an unsafe, unhealthy place for anyone, let alone for children. Despite paying high rent to a neglectful landlord who refused to make things right, they had no choice but to stay because it was all they could afford.

Recently, this Mom was finally able to relocate her family to a new apartment in Sanger. But with the move came another hard decision — she had to throw away nearly everything they owned because it was too infested and damaged to take with them. They left behind beds, furniture, kitchenware, and even the baby’s belongings. Now, this family is starting over with almost nothing, and we’re hoping to rally our community to help them rebuild their home and give these children the safe, clean, and loving space they deserve.
