Two parents and three young children moved into their grandparents' home which is very cluttered and stuffed full of generational belongings. Due to the cramped quarters and mass number of items that need to be gotten rid of, the children have limited space to sleep and be active adolescents. By obtaining a dumpster, this would assist the family with quick removal of these unnecessary items, and give the family a cleaner, more comfortable, and healthier environment to live. A 7-day rental for a 10-yard dumpster from Twin Bridges is $475 after taxes and fees. This request is being split up into 2, one for $225 and another for $250.

A family with a child with special needs (seizure disorder and autism) is seeking assistance for a small portable air conditioner. Initially mom thought that the landlord got this fixed but as the days get hotter the a/c cannot keep up. The child’s seizures worsen with heat and the mom is about to undergo a surgery. Does anyone have a used portable a/c that can be donated? Or can you find it in your heart to donate to this cause?

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!
