Request: #232942 • Urgency: Critical • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Los Angeles • State: California • Zip Code: 90043 • County: Los Angeles • Submitted By: Crete Academy

Story

•
1 Child 1 Adult

We are requesting immediate support for a homeless mother whose only vehicle is currently out of commission. She has secured a trusted mechanic who is ready to do the work — we simply need help covering the cost of the repair.

Reliable transportation is essential for this mother to ensure her child gets to school on time each day and for her to maintain steady employment. She is working hard to transition out of homelessness, and this car is her only means of transportation.

Without this vehicle, her child’s education and her ability to provide for her family are at serious risk. Your support will remove a major barrier for this family and help them continue moving toward stability and self-sufficiency.

Primary Need: Financial assistance for car repair (mechanic already identified)

Impact Statement: By helping this mother get her car fixed, you are directly supporting a child’s education, a parent’s ability to work, and a family’s journey out of homelessness. This is a critical need that will have an immediate and lasting impact.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

This request is part of the Bundles of Hope initiative. FFCR is working closely with this caregiver who is doing their best to provide a safe and nurturing environment for their little one. This family is caring for a child under the age of 2 and the child is in need of size 3 in diapers/ wipes. The foster parent stepped up after the family of this child decided to put her back in the system because they could no longer care for her, she is not even 1 yet and was returned. Would you consider stepping in to meet this need? A simple gift of diapers and wipes can ease a real burden and remind this caregiver they are seen and supported. Your response sends a powerful message: You are not alone. Your community cares.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

62141579- Help a Loving Grandmother and Her Grandson

A devoted grandmother has opened her heart and home to her 9-year-old grandson under unexpected circumstances. Despite the challenges, she has stepped up selflessly—going so far as to take on a part-time job to provide for him. Right now, the child doesn't have a bed of his own. To ensure he sleeps comfortably, his grandmother has been giving up her own bed each night. She's doing everything she can to provide a stable, loving environment, but they need a little help.

They are in need of the following items:

A twin or full-size bed, mattress, and bed frame Sheets, blankets, and covers (preferably in blue or gray) A dresser (black or brown; gently used is perfectly fine)

This strong and caring grandmother is working hard to give her grandson comfort, security, and a sense of home. Any support—whether through donations of items or help spreading the word—is deeply appreciated.

Thank you for your kindness and blessings to all who can help.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

A devoted and hardworking grandmother is providing full-time care for her six-year-old grandson, who has been diagnosed with asthma, ADHD, and Autism. After moving back to Ohio from Arizona to create a stable home for her family, she is doing everything she can to provide for her grandson and her three children on her own.

Despite recently starting a new job and taking steps toward long-term stability, the family is currently without proper beds. All four children—including her grandson with serious medical needs—are in need of beds to sleep in. This is especially urgent as her grandson is preparing for three upcoming respiratory surgeries and needs a safe, comfortable place to rest and recover.

Providing beds for these children would bring immediate comfort and dignity to a family that is doing their very best under challenging circumstances. This grandmother is holding everything together with love and strength, but she cannot meet this need alone.

Any support in helping this family receive four beds would be deeply appreciated. Your kindness will help bring peace, rest, and hope to a home that truly needs it.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

For the first time ever, between CBC Middle School and High School Camp, we have 14 Neighbor's Ministry Students who would like to attend. This is a record number. Every one of them is a the child of an amazing Single Mom who is either working their tail off to provide for their family, or in two cases, facing serious health issues.

Our Neighbor's Ministry students have been super committed this year to attending Tutoring and/or Bible Study. Many of the Mom's are involved in our Neighbor's Mom's Bible Study as well. This is a HUGE answer to prayer as we have been working to go deeper with the Gospel with our families. However, we were not prepared for the amount of scholarships we would need this year and did not budget for it. In order to be good stewards of our budget and to give them a potentially life changing experience, would you help us cover the cost of sending them to Camp with CBC Student Ministry this summer?

I am convinced that including them in this experience an make a tremendous impact is a testament to the collaboration between Neighbor's and Study Ministry over the past few years. Our heart is that they would come to know Jesus and to be involved and discipled by both our Neighbor's Ministry and Student Ministry strengthening their Christian community and support.

Wether it is $5 or $500, every penny goes to the cost of them attending camp.

Help Assist a Victim of Domestic Violence

I am reaching out to request your urgent assistance for a family in need. A local mother, who is currently facing an extremely difficult and traumatic situation, is in urgent need of hotel accommodations for the week.

Her 15-year-old daughter has recently been the victim of domestic violence. The young girl was severely attacked by her boyfriend and is now in critical condition. As a result, the mother is staying in a hotel nearby to be by her daughter’s side during this incredibly challenging time.

Due to the circumstances, the mother is in desperate need of support to continue staying close to her daughter while ensuring her own well-being. Your help in providing hotel accommodations would be a great blessing and relief for this family during such a heartbreaking ordeal.

Hotel rate per night is $103

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I’m reaching out today to ask for help for a strong, resilient, loving mother of a 15-year-old boy, a 2-year-old little boy, and a precious 7-month-old baby girl. For the last four years, this family lived in a one-bedroom apartment in Kerman, dealing with heartbreaking conditions. The apartment was infested with roaches and had black mold growing in the walls — an unsafe, unhealthy place for anyone, let alone for children. Despite paying high rent to a neglectful landlord who refused to make things right, they had no choice but to stay because it was all they could afford.

Recently, this Mom was finally able to relocate her family to a new apartment in Sanger. But with the move came another hard decision — she had to throw away nearly everything they owned because it was too infested and damaged to take with them. They left behind beds, furniture, kitchenware, and even the baby’s belongings. Now, this family is starting over with almost nothing, and we’re hoping to rally our community to help them rebuild their home and give these children the safe, clean, and loving space they deserve.
