This request is part of the Bundles of Hope Initiatives. Infant came into licensed care and was separated from her siblings. Soon after, she was placed with her great grandmother who has been caring for her since birth. The baby girl is thriving in the safe and nurturing environment provided by her great-grandmother. Whilst the great grandmother is doing the best she can, can you imagine the mental and financial strain caring for a 3 month old as an elder? Will you help ease such a burden by stepping in to assist with diapers and wipes?

This emergency request is for a family that only has $6 in their bank account and won't receive food from the food bank for another 3 days. Would you consider a grocery delivery or funding towards groceries as well as a gas card to help her get to the food bank in a couple of days so that their family has food on the table. Thank you so much for your consideration and for your prayers for this family.

The referred family is requesting assistance with making payment for a past due balance on their electricity bill. Mother is currently experiencing financial hardships, and is not currently working, and the family cannot allocate funds towards making this payment. The family has been using flashlights in the evenings to move around the home, as there is no light. They have also been using a cooler to store their food as there is no electricity for the fridge. The family would be appreciative of any help and want to explore all options to make their children as comfortable as possible at home.”

A family of four is in urgent need of support. The mother has been unable to work for four years due to severe medical issues and is finally receiving a long-awaited kidney transplant after seven years on the donor list.

Their only bathroom is unsafe and unusable, and the children have been displaced due to financial hardship. We are requesting $3,500 to help: Cover gas and travel expenses for transplant appointments, Repair the bathroom floor to create a safe recovery space, Reunite the children under one roof during this critical time. Let’s help bring healing, hope, and stability to this resilient family.

A foster family has 2 children placed in their home and they have one biological child as well. They have had placement of this sibling set for over two months, and never really got a honeymoon period as the children have been struggling with behaviors from the beginning. One of the children has settled in to the home better and has started connecting with the foster family but the other sibling is continuing to struggle. He becomes dysregulated after visits on Mondays and Tuesdays and then continues to be dysregulated most of the week. The biological child is also impacted by this, and has started to display some behaviors that are not typical. The family doesn't want to give up on the kids, but they are at a loss for what to do. They are also extremely busy and struggling to find time to meet their own needs. I am asking for several frozen meals for a family of 5 so that they can take breaks from cooking and meal prep at times. Gift cards to eat out would also be very helpful.

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!
