I have a grandmother who is currently caring for her 9 grandchildren. The grandmother needs assistance with ensuring that each child has a proper place to sleep. The grandmother needs 3 twin size beds or two bunk beds to accommodate her grandchildren. Please help this grandmother as she is not receiving financial assistance from the parents to care for the children. No child deserves to sleep on the floor.

We have a child that is in the office with very few clothing items. He is in need of underwear, socks, shirts, and shorts. He wears size 14/16 boys. If he could get enough items of clothing to last him 5 days that would help to provide clothes for him throughout the week. Any assistance to meet this need would be greatly appreciated. We appreciate all that you all do in serving the families in our community.

Hello, Care Portal, and happy Monday!

We urgently seek your amazing support to assist a mother who is striving to get her life back on track. Mrs. B needs help covering the cost of one week’s rent at a local Oxford home. This will provide her with a structured, sober-living environment and a supportive community, which are crucial for her recovery from substance use disorder.

Mrs. B is putting in her best effort and is motivated to continue her recovery process. With your support, she will not only feel empowered but her daughter will also be able to have her mother back sooner.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I look forward to hearing from you and making a positive impact together.

We are holding our annual Kinship/Foster Parent Appreciation Celebration in June 2024 Kinship families are unique in that they take placement of children on an emergency basis who they have a prior relationship with in order to prevent children from being placed in the foster care system. Foster families are such a need in this community and they open their homes to children with no where else to go. Showing our appreciation will ensure we can maintain these vital resources in child welfare and hopefully encourage others to help in ways they are able and advocate for children with DHS involvement. The Kinship/Foster Care Unit is hoping to be able to provide gift cards through a raffle to each family at the event in the amount of $50 for grocery stores, Walmart or Target, or other locations in town where items for the family can be purchased.

I'm currently working with a family I have two little girls who are placed out of the home with a family member. We have asked mother and father on several occasions to provide clothing to the children as they are getting older, and summer is quickly approaching. However, mother and father has yet to provide the children with any clothes since they have been placed out of the home. I am hoping to get a gift card to allow both of the girls to pick out of new clothes for the summer. Grandmother is struggling financially as she is not only is she housing both children, but she is juggling school, mental health services, and everything else that the girls need to be successful. Both of the girls are so so sweet and I want to help out where we can. I hope that both children can get $200 to go on their own little shopping spree.

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!
