Story

•
3 Children

DCS has had an open case with a family since 2023 where the children were removed. One of the children has been reunited with bio mom on a trial home visit, she has another child who comes home to start trial home visit later this Month, and she just gave birth to another baby girl. Mom is doing really well and also purchased beds and toys for the kids coming home but purchasing the beds financially hit her hard, especially just having a new baby to also care for. Mom stated the only thing she needs for when her other child comes home is a dresser but she does not have the financial means to purchase one. Mom has everything needed for the baby but stated the only thing she does not have is a baby bath. When CarePortal was mentioned to her she was so excited and stated she would be extremely grateful for any assistance to show her kids she has a safe and happy home.

Help Remove an Educational Barrier for a Child

This request is for a child who was held back from her grade level and is now working towards getting back towards her grade level. She has worked so hard on her education and is in need of more tutoring to be on her current level for her age (9). When the request is met, the requested funds will help create a supportive space for the youth and help support her in her education.

Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

This request is part of the Bundles of Hope initiative. Unique Therapy is working closely with this caregiver who is doing their best to provide a safe and nurturing environment for their little one. This family is caring for a child under the age of 2 and the child is in need of size 1 diapers and wipes. Due to financial constraints, many caregivers struggle to regularly access diapers, despite them being a basic necessity for infants and young children, so your support would mean a great deal to this family. Would you consider stepping in to meet this need? A simple gift of diapers and wipes can ease a real burden and remind this caregiver they are seen and supported. Your response sends a powerful message: You are not alone. Your community cares.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

I am reaching out today with a heartfelt request on behalf of a very special 2nd grade student in need of support. This young boy is 8 years old and has special needs. He is being raised by his father, who is a dedicated single parent doing his best to provide for his son. As the warmer months approach, they are in need of assistance with summer clothing. Specifically, the child could use: Shorts and T-shirts in size 5–6T, Tennis shoes in size 12 (children’s), T-shirts in child’s small or extra small

Any new or gently used items would be such a blessing to this family. They are not asking for much—just the basics to help this little boy feel comfortable, confident, and cared for during the summer season.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

This request is being made on behalf of a single mother of four children who were scheduled to move into an apartment complex in mid-April. When moving in, the family noted a foul odor throughout the apartment and discovered large areas of the carpeting covered in animal urine. After pulling up the carpeting and padding, it appears that large portions of the carpet, padding, and subfloor are stained by urine and possible mold to the degree that Stanley Steamer declined to clean the carpeting. The apartment complex has refused to replace the carpet and padding and has told the family they can pay to replace the carpet or they can have their security deposit and rent already paid back. The family has no other place to live, must be out of the current home on May 31, and has an exemplary record of past tenancy in our community.

Help Assist a Victim of Domestic Violence

Single mother (who Emmaus members have been walking alongside) escaping domestic violence from husband along with two kids under the age of 7 years. She is starting over from scratch as they left the house with nothing and has no extended family support. She would like to have a car which would provide transportation so she can get a job so that she can get into housing. We are hoping to provide $3,000 towards a vehicle.

If you have any connections to help with housing or a job (she doesn't have childcare so maybe a daycare center, work from home, etc) please respond to this request or reach out to Julie-Anne or Kandilyn Ford.

Thank you for offering support and prayer for this family!
