We have two young girls, aged 3 and 5, who have been in care since early childhood. Their caregiver, who became acquainted with them through church, observed that the girls were often unkempt, unsupervised, and had experienced significant trauma. In response, she began providing care for them.

Currently, the caregiver has not received any funding for this responsibility, as she is required to complete a homestudy and meet licensing requirements. Although she has been approved for future funding, the disbursement will not occur until June. Unfortunately, she recently did not pass the homestudy due to a few outstanding requirements necessary for her licensing.

She has successfully acquired many items from the checklist, but there is one final item for which she needs assistance. Would you be willing to help her with this last requirement so that she can pass the homestudy and achieve licensure?

We have a 23-year-old youth in care who is passionate about football and aspires to be drafted into the NFL. Currently, he is dedicated to both his academic pursuits and training, ensuring he is in peak condition for next years' draft. His commitment to exercise has led to noticeable physical growth, resulting in him outgrowing much of his clothing. Additionally, he is in need of new footwear. As he is currently without a job , only going to school and can only afford basic necessities, securing appropriate clothing is essential for his journey. Would you like to help this young boy get clothes and shoes he can fit ?

Mother continue to have liberalize visits with children and there have been no reported safety concerns. Mother is ready to have overnight visits with the children, except her home only has 1 bed, which she is using. Thus, mother does not have the funds to purchase beds for the boys. CSW recently conducted a walk-through of the home and confirmed the needs for beds/mattresses for the boys. Mother is requesting for assistance in purchasing bunk beds and mattresses for the boys. If acquired, the boys will have their own sleeping space and be more comfortable during family time with the mother.

I am looking for help to reunify a family with their child. The father just recently started working full time overnights while the mother tends to their four children during the day. The parents are just getting back on their feet but struggling financially to be able to cover first and last months' rent. They are requiring some assistance to just get them into their apartment so we can start a trial home visit. The family has been homeless for a while and couch-surfing with relatives and that in itself has taken a toll on them. The mother is unable to work due to needing to supervise her young children plus the one child in care has very intense medical needs that require round-the-clock care. The father is trying to also during the day work with a friend of his, cutting grass and doing some landscape jobs on top of his full-time work to help bring in extra cash as fast as they can. I am hoping to help this family out with just the first month to get them started and give them that motivation to keep going. They will be able to afford the rent on a monthly basis but like I said we are just needing assistance the first month for them so we can get their child back to them in their home. The parents will be able to provide proof of a signed lease agreement as well.

I am seeking out help for a child who was just recovered from being on-run. Unfortunately, there are no family members what-so-ever involved in his case and this poor child has learnt to fend for himself most of his childhood and into his teen years. As hard as it is for him to accept help sometimes, he is in desperate need of just that. The child is currently staying with a friend who so kindly is willing to help keep him off the streets however he is in need of a bed, bedding and a pillow as he is currently sleeping on an air mattress temporarily. With this help, we are hoping to get a good home routine and regimen back up and started for him. We want him to feel comfortable and confident having his own items and get him back on track with meeting his goals in life.

Again, we are out of beds with the other recent arrivals and the funds that were normally given to the refugee resettlement agencies being stopped. For these two families again, we need beds (always) and another coffee table.

Glocal has already provided through community donations other furniture that they needed along with household goods. always feel free to inquire more about our programs .

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!

A family has contacted our church in need of help to pay their rent for $1,100. We were able to provide $500 from our church. They are still in need of $600.00 to keep from being evicted. This is a single mother with a teen son and younger daughter. the mother has been sick for a few weeks and was short on her rent. She has also been helping her sister with a serious medical condition. Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide this family.
