Story

1 Child 1 Adult

Youth male is requesting an electric guitar to promote the acquisition of coping skills to support his diagnoses of ADHD and PTSD. The youth is currently in the process of being adopted by his Paternal Uncle who has helped to stabilize the youth. The family is low income and the Paternal Uncle is the sole care provide for the child. Prior to placement in his uncle’s home, the youth transitioned to 9 prior foster homes. The youth has extensive trauma and has previously been prescribed medication to support behavior management. The youth has never met his mother and has been in foster care the duration of his young life. The youth was beginning to stablish a bond with his biological father who unexpectedly passed away in prison in 2023. The youth continues to struggle with emotional dysregulation and appropriate conflict resolution which often results in verbal and physical altercations at school and verbal disputes at home. DCFS continues to strongly encourage ongoing participation in therapy, however; the youth is in the rapport building stage. This assistance will help support the family during their time of financial needs and simultaneously facilitate the youth having a positive outlet to support emotional regulation. DCFS has assisted the family by providing assistance with clothes, electronics and additional referrals. The total price breakdown is reflected for different electric guitars excluding sales tax as follows: ($58.99 $64.99, $74.99 and $89.99)

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

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?

Help Assist a Victim of Domestic Violence

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!
