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.

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.

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.

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.

A wonderful family lost everything in the Eaton Canyon Fire. They left with just the clothing on their bodies. In the loss was everything that the father uses for his career as a Content Creator and Editor. He was blessed with one computer, but the loss was 3 computers, monitors, hard drives, Editing tools, and instruments. He is able to do work still, just at a much slower pace due to the lack of equipment.They were renting the house in Altadena for the last 10 years. They unfortunately did not have renters insurance, so everything that they have needed to pay for since the fires has been out of pocket. When I spoke to the father, he cared about the equipment lost, but his biggest priority is getting housing secured. Right now the four of the family members are not able to stay together until they can secure an apartment. He was able to find an apartment that he can afford monthly, but the current issue is the first/last month rent and the security deposit.

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.

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.

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.
