Good evening, we have a high school student that is not able to focus in school due to the family struggle. The mother lost her job during the Wild Fires and is not working. She is the sole provider since the father is very sick and not doing well. This family is very concerned about becoming homeless, they are working on getting assistance but at this time they are on a very long waiting list for services. We would like help this family with funds to provide some support. Thank you and God Bless you!

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

Hello, I am working with one of our school families with and elementary student and a middle school student. I was informed that due to the struggle of finding steady employment after the Wild Fires, they are struggling with rent funds to avoid getting evited. They do not have food or gas money to take children to school. The single parent is searching for work to get back on track. Friends have been donating food for this family but their fridge has stopped working and they don't have any where to keep milk and other items that need to be kept in the fridge. We would like to help this family as they work on getting back on their feet. Thank you in advance, God Bless you for helping those in need.

Help Improve a Child's School Attendance

I’m reaching out to request support for my client, who is a young adult and is actively working toward becoming self-sufficient. She recently moved into a new apartment with her mother, and unfortunately, her bed frame broke during the move.

As she balances school and work, having a proper bed is essential for getting the restful sleep she needs to stay focused and succeed. Providing a replacement bed frame would make a meaningful difference in supporting her stability and progress during this important transition. Thank you for your consideration.

Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

The family is in need of a toddler car seat. The care giver has requested a car seat for the 2 year old child in her care. The children in her care have special needs and the caregiver’s full time job is caring for the children. Caregiver is the sole provider for the family and has focused on providing the child’s basic needs such as food and shelter and reports it would be a financial strain to her if she purchases the car seat.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

My client is a newly dedicated young mother, who recently gave birth to her newborn about a month ago and is currently residing at Mary’s Path. As she looks ahead, she is preparing to take a significant step by transitioning to her mother’s home in Lancaster. This move will allow her to continue her parenting journey in a supportive environment while pursuing a Supervised Independent Living Placement (SILP).

To ensure a safe and nurturing space for her baby, is in need of a baby crib. This essential item will not only provide her child with a secure place to sleep, but also help her establish a stable foundation as she navigates this new chapter of motherhood. Your support in helping provide this crib would make a meaningful difference in her transition and long-term success as a young parent.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

Mother and dad of newborn have been living in their car for 14 months. Baby is now 2 months old. They both work and pay car payments but cannot afford to get established in an apartment or home. Baby is growing and they are in desperate need to have a different living situation for their family. They have been sleeping in a classroom on the floor of our church 3 nights a week, for this past month and the church cannot sustain this arrangement indefinitely. They are very polite, hardworking, clean and cooperative. We have prayed about this and believe a camper would be the best goal for them at this time. They can afford an RV park with utilities and start to get a lead on a permanent residence.

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

We are seeking urgent support for a family with two children at risk of losing stable housing. The family is currently facing eviction, with a balance of $3,587 due. If the balance is paid before the court date, they will be allowed to remain in their home. The mother is actively working side jobs and may be able to contribute a portion of the amount.

This support request is focused on preserving housing stability for the children, ensuring they are not displaced and can remain in a safe, familiar environment. Assistance toward this housing need would directly prevent trauma and disruption in their lives.

Please consider helping keep this family together and housed.

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!
