Title: Urgent Need: Forward-Facing Car Seat for Toddler in New Family

Request Summary: A mother of 3, new to the country, is in urgent need of a safe, forward-facing car seat for her 2-year-old daughter. The family currently does not have a car seat. Detailed Description: This Mother recently arrived in the U.S. and is working hard to establish safety and stability for her children.

Treetops staff and volunteers have been actively supporting the mother with transportation—helping her get to workshops and important appointments. During a recent event, a volunteer, provided transportation so the mother could attend a graduation. Luckily the volunteer had a car seat from her family. Member shared that she is in need of one for her daughter. We are seeking a forward-facing car seat with a 5-point harness that can convert into a booster seat. This will support the child's growth and ensure her safety over time.

Providing this essential item will ease a burden on the mother and volunteers to ensure her daughter can travel safely and legally.

Specific Need:

Forward-facing car seat with 5-point harness (convertible to booster)

Why This Matters: This support will provide critical safety for a young child and peace of mind for a mother, volunteers. Your help can make a real difference in this family's journey.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

I have a ct trying to co-parent with the mother of his son but has been living in sober living until his mother got her house back after renting it for a while. My ct's mother was in a bad relationship that costed her stuff and her home. My ct is needing to help his mother but needing his own house too, to have his son more. Since kids arent really allowed at sober living houses for more then one night. My Ct has a huge chance to see his son more but the problem is my ct just got the house back from renters and doesnt have much of any furniture in the house. My ct is asking for help with a living room couch to sit on, have guests and for his kid to sleep on if not sleeping with him as they do not really have a bedroom ready for him since he just started coming over. My Ct is asking for a coffee table as it would be there main place to eat. This coffee table would be used for games and coloring with his kid too. Then my ct has asked help with a tv all kids feel more comfortable places when they can watch cartoons. My ct wants to be able to watch cartoons and movies with his kids in the living for bonding and cant do that well with out a couch, or a coffee table, or a tv either. Everything can be used and not new just working. My ct is now working a full time job and just started paying child support out of his checks so he can see his son more but life is hard only making a certain amount of money after child support and taxes that my ct needs help to get these extra things.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

M and B are currently living in an office setting. The Department is looking for placement for these siblings. Both are physically and developmentally delayed, and we are hoping to get them some art supplies to encourage their creativity and help them stay regulated while in an office setting and beyond. We are looking for paper, construction paper, acrylic paints, craft paints, brushes, glue, markers, crayons/colored pencils and other child safe/washable craft supplies. The children are ages 6 and 8. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Help Remove an Educational Barrier for a Child

A resilient young woman in foster care made the brave decision not to return to her abusive mother and stepfather. In her current placement, she brought up her grades, built a plan for her future, and found a lifelong family. Now, she’s moving into her own place through a Transitional Housing Program (THP), having been selected over 25 other applicants.

Because her placement was in a small town with no job opportunities, she wasn’t able to save money and still needs help securing a few basic necessities - bedding, silverware and knife set. She’ll also be starting college soon and is in need of a laptop to complete her schoolwork, apply for jobs, and build her independence.

This young woman has done everything right—she’s worked hard, stayed focused, and created a future she can be proud of. A little support right now could make all the difference in helping her begin this next chapter with confidence, dignity, and the tools she needs to succeed.

Thank you for considering this request.

I have attached links for the needed items. Laptop does not have to be the linked one but something similar.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I am working with a awesome, hard working Single mom that does amazing work helping others in the community is now facing some hardships. She and her family attended, participated wholeheartedly and graduated from our 14-week Strengthening Family Program and has been an outspoken advocate for family wellness. She was recently put in a very hard situation and received news that her landlord is selling her home expectantly, and she was put in a time crunch and after searching and searching for a new place she found one and has to come up with a deposit of $1000 to hold the unit. After talking with the new homeowner, he stated she could allow her to pay $500 by Monday 6/9/25 and the other $500 by Friday 6/13/25. If you can help, please be a blessing to this mom, please, she has helped so many families in her line of work, and she has just paid her rent where she is currently living and does not have the money for her deposit. If you could please help her so she and her children are not put out on the street, and can move into their new home. Anything you can donate would be a great help. Thank you!

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

We have a brave mother with young children who is a survivor of recent domestic violence, and we have been supporting this family in their journey toward stability. Unfortunately, the program we had arranged for them is no longer able to accept them. We urgently appeal to the community to help provide temporary housing for this mother and her children for the month, ensuring they have a safe roof over their heads. Meeting this need would not only offer immediate shelter but also give them the essential time to find another suitable program. This mother is currently 8 months pregnant, making it even more critical to secure a safe space for her and her children. Please join us in helping this young mother keep her family together and create a plan for their future.
