Requesting three twin bedframes/mattresses/sheets/blankets/pillows for children in this home.

This is a family we helped before with a basketball goal.

If possible, this grandmother is looking for a "scholarship/sponsor," for her grandson who she has custody of to attend Roanoke County's Basketball camp over the summer for a week. It is $275.00.

The student has never attended a "summer camp," he is hoping to work on his skills so that he can establish some positive peer relationships, make new friends, and connections.

Payments can be made directly to the program in honor of the student.

Family of 2 adults and 5 children is in need of a couch.

My client is a single mom of two teenage children. She is currently working full time and is actively trying to move out of unsafe living environment directly linked to her exploitation. She was using a vehicle her exploiter was allowing her to borrow. As a control tactic, he sold the car so that she would no longer be able to use it. She is now having to use uber/lyft to get back and forth to work, which is expensive.

She is desiring independence and freedom from her exploiter and this environment (and so is our team!). The biggest obstacle to achieving that right now is a reliable vehicle. She needs to have a guaranteed and reliable way to get to work, get her kids to school and extracurricular events, as well every day tasks such as grocery runs and doctor visits.

Once this need is meet, she will not only be able to get to work and put in as many hours as she can to save up to move out, but she will also be able to tour and look for places to move to. She will get to be away from the toxic environment and be able to prioritize things to improve her mental and physical wellbeing. Such as meeting with her advocate/mentor(s), attending counseling, engaging in community resources/activities.

Grace Chruch Family, a need in the community has come to our attention that we would like to help with. A mom needs help with an electric bill. She has 3 children ages 6, 2, and 5 months. The baby was born early and this has caused her to get behind on several bills. Thank you for any amount you feel led to fund.

A mother is no longer able to take her medication since she cannot afford and no longer able to pay her bills and work. She is taking the steps to get her medication started back up for physical and mental state. Since she is not able to work due to having her disability she is not able to afford her rent. She has an eviction notice and needing to get her rent paid in the next 3 days. She currently has 3 children living in the house, an eight year old, 13 year old, and a 17 year old. She is a single mother and is never late with paying her rent. She could use all the help that she could get in order to prevent homelessness for her family.

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!
