We have a bunk bed set and will get mattresses for them. I will also help the family work to apply for funds from both city grants for restoration and the remaining Samaritan’s purse funds for the necessary material for repairs.

Help Make a Kinship Placement

A loving and devoted grandmother is currently raising her sixteen-year-old granddaughter through kinship care, stepping up selflessly to provide the stability, love, and guidance her granddaughter needs during a difficult chapter in their lives. She has created a safe and nurturing home, showing incredible strength and resilience every step of the way.

Recently, this strong caregiver faced a life-changing diagnosis: breast cancer. She underwent a double mastectomy and is now in the early stages of recovery. As she heals, she is unable to work and is struggling to manage household needs on her own. One urgent issue she’s facing is a severely clogged kitchen sink, which has made daily life and meal preparation extremely difficult. Despite her best efforts, she cannot afford to have the plumbing repaired.

She is not asking for charity — only a helping hand to restore basic functionality in her home while she regains her strength. Your support, whether through financial aid, plumbing services, or referrals, would bring relief to a family doing everything they can to stay strong and stay together. By helping this grandmother, we are not only resolving a household crisis — we are preserving a home, protecting a child, and uplifting a woman whose love and courage are holding her family together.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I am working with a awesome, hard working Single mom that does amazing work helping others in the community is now facing some hardships. She and her family attended, participated wholeheartedly and graduated from our 14-week Strengthening Family Program and has been an outspoken advocate for family wellness. She was recently put in a very hard situation and received news that her landlord is selling her home expectantly, and she was put in a time crunch and after searching and searching for a new place she found one and has to come up with a deposit of $1000 to hold the unit. After talking with the new homeowner, he stated she could allow her to pay $500 by Monday 6/9/25 and the other $500 by Friday 6/13/25. If you can help, please be a blessing to this mom, please, she has helped so many families in her line of work, and she has just paid her rent where she is currently living and does not have the money for her deposit. If you could please help her so she and her children are not put out on the street, and can move into their new home. Anything you can donate would be a great help. Thank you!
