This is a need for help with rent. The family has part of the rent but due to medical bills, cannot pay the amount. The adoptive Mom had experienced medical bills and prescription bills this month that caused her to use her rent money to meet those needs. She has a portion of her rent but is requesting assistance with the remaining amount. She will submit a letter from her landlord/apartment management that states the amount due that is remaining. She will be notified that this is a one time help and cannot be requested again at a later date. Update as of 5/19: Adoptive Mom experienced a Medical Emergency over the weekend and is in the hospital.

Foster mom has 4 children in her home and needs assistance with her utility bill. In May, everyone in the home was sick and she had to miss 2 weeks of work. Foster mom is the only adult in the home and there is no other income coming into the home. Finances are already tight, so this has caused stress on the family. If she is able to receive assistance for her utility bill, it would reduce her stress level and ensure the family's ability to afford to pay for other bills, food, etc.

The family is asking that some volunteers or a company come out and help trim the trees in their front yard and they are over growing and this can cause some concern during hurricane season.

I am working with a family that expressed a need for a twin size bed/mattress for their family. There are three children, 5, 3 and 1 year old. The 5 year old is sleeping in a toddler bed, the 3 year old is in a crib and the one year old is sleeping in a pack n play that has several large rips. Wanting to ensure a safe sleeping environment for all children, the family is requesting a twin bed for the oldest so the 3 year old can use the toddler bed and the youngest can transition to the crib. 

This is a 7-member family: 1 single mother and 6 children. The mother is on a fixed income and has recently been approved for a new home with her housing voucher. She is needing a few additional funds for the deposit. With the additional funds for a deposit, it will help the family be in a safe community.

We were put in contact with a mom who is in need of beds for her kids. Please let me know if you are able to help!

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 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!
