Story

•
5 Children 2 Adults

Two young girls recently became legally free and were placed with a maternal relative who will be starting the adoption process of the girls soon. The family is still in the process of completing foster care training and has not received an initial stipend. The family has paid $500 out of pocket in child care costs in the past month and is requesting assistance with utilities to offset the cost of the child care costs. The girls are on a waiting list for DHS approved daycare sites, but until they are admitted, the family is paying cash for babysitters who come to the home while foster mom and dad work. The first bill is for electric in the amount of $380 due 5/15 and the second is a water bill in the amount of $98 due 5/5. There are 5 children and 2 adults in the home. I have copies of the utility bills.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

We’re reaching out to ask for your support in caring for a family in Meridian — a devoted mother of two young children who is currently facing multiple chronic health conditions. Despite her deep love and commitment to her children, her health has made it incredibly difficult to keep up with the day-to-day tasks of maintaining her home.

She is doing her best, but the weight of her responsibilities, combined with ongoing health struggles, has become overwhelming. Right now, she could use the loving support of her community to help bring peace and order back into her home.

We're looking for volunteers who can assist with cleaning and organizing her home— even just a couple of hours during a weekend would be a huge blessing to this family.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I'm working with a young family—mom, dad, and their six-month-old baby—who just moved into their new apartment after experiencing homelessness. This move is a big step forward for them, and they’re doing their best to get back on their feet.

Right now, they’re having a tough time getting their belongings out of storage due to money and time constraints. They could really use a few essentials to help make their new place feel like home.

They’re in need of a mattress so they can finally get proper rest, and a dining table where they can eat meals as a family. These items would go a long way in helping them feel settled and supported during this transition.

Any help would be truly appreciated.

Items: The cost of the Mattress and dining set from amazon is 450.52. I have attached the links: Mattress: Go To Link Dining set:Go To Link

Total w/ shipping: $491.15

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

We’re reaching out on behalf of a local grandmother in the Boise area who is going through an incredibly challenging time. She is the full-time caregiver for her four school-aged grandchildren and is doing everything she can to provide for them, despite facing serious housing & financial instability and health issues. With no nearby family support and so much on her plate, this grandma could really use a helping hand from her community.

One of the most immediate and meaningful ways to support her right now is by helping with meals. This would ease her daily burden and make a big difference in giving her a bit of breathing room.

We are looking for someone to:

  1. Drop off a freezer meal that she can heat up on busy days
  2. Bring a home-cooked meal for her and the kids to enjoy that evening
  3. Provide a gift card for meal delivery (DoorDash, Uber Eats, etc.)

If you’re able to help in any of these ways, please reach out! Thank you for stepping in to support keep this family together!

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

Although it may seem unlikely, we are still seeing families arrive through the refugee process. They come with basically nothing and through Glocal, we provide them new and gently used items donated through the community to help them get started in their first home in the Treasure Valley. We have one large Afghan family of 9 that we have in temporary housing and will move into two apartments in the near future. We are short beds and tables for several families. this request is for the larger family that arrived a few weeks ago. To keep things less costly, they will need to put several children in one room and bunk beds will help. they also could use some coffee tables and end tables. Glocal has been able to provide them with their other needs through earlier donations.

Please if you can help with a gently used bed (clean mattress/box spring) or a table, please reach out!
