Story

•
2 Children 1 Adult

The Children's Division has thoughtfully planned for the safety of children to be with their loving grandfather. Despite facing financial limitations, he is wholeheartedly dedicated to providing for his two grandchildren and ensuring they have access to education. Granddad is seeking support with fuel costs to transport the children to and from school and their extracurricular activities—responsibilities he has embraced to keep them out of foster care. He expresses that, while he is not accustomed to these additional expenses, having his grandchildren in his home brings him joy, vitality, and a sense of purpose. The children have also settled in beautifully with him. The family is needing a $50 gas card from quick trip. We sincerely appreciate your support in helping to keep these precious children with their family. Thank you!

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A 17yr old and recently gave birth to a little girl. She is in need of diapers, clothes 0-3mo., a kangaroo pouch and potentially a stroller. She doesn't have much of anything and is relying on her uncle for most items. They are all on benefits and need to make sure their bills are paid first, so they do not have a lot of leftover money for baby items. She requested a pump and bottles too as she intends to go back to school and will need to prepare bottles in advance!

Help Reunify a Bio Family

Bethany Christian Services has a satellite office in Allegan County where we are able to host parenting times. We have recently had several case referrals with younger children and babies. Our parenting time rooms are in need of additional baby items to support parents during their visits: bouncy seats, high chair, support to sit, etc. Families would benefit from some type of sitting apparatus for a baby to be in while parents are caring for larger sibling groups so the infant doesn't have to just sit in their car seat.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

(85367) This family consists of mother and father who have a baby girl (9 months old). They are currently engaging in services with DCS and are in need of some support. The mother inherited the house they reside in by her grandmother; the mother mentioned she was a "hoarder" therefore there are many unwanted things and trash that needs to be removed. They have an "Arizona room" full of unnecessary things. The parents would benefit from getting a dumpster in order to clean out the home. The baby is beginning to crawl and needs a clean environment. This assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Mother and her 3 children currently reside with her aunt. Aunt is watching the children while mother works each day. Aunt does not have any type of seating for the 2 older children in the living room area, where they spend most of their time doing activities or watching TV.

The family is asking for assistance in some type of small chairs or bean bags for the 11yo and 6yo to use daily. 11mth old baby is outgrowing her bouncer and starting to roll out of it. Baby is needing a more appropriate seating for her age to be able to sit or nap in where she cant get out of.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A young mom and dad of three small children are needing assistance with childcare for the summer. They have secured more affordable childcare but it does not begin until September. Currently childcare costs are 275.00 a week for three children (including one infant). Mom and Dad are able to pay 175 out of pocket but need help with the rest. They have been able to secure part of the money needed from friends but are still needing 800 dollars to ensure all three kids have safe childcare through the summer. In September, the cost will decrease to the point where mom and dad can afford it on their own.
