Pike DHR is working with a family, where a single father just regained custody if his 15 year old son. The family is in need of 2 dressers for their bedrooms. The family is requesting that the dressers not be too big as they are living in a smaller trailer. The father stated that if dressers are not available, he is grateful for anything to store their clothes.

We have a young male child placed in relative care. The relative is disabled and on a very limited income. Unfortunately, placement has had some extra bills come up and needs some temporary assistance with diapers and wipes. A case of size 7 diaper and a case of wipes would be very helpful, and allow placement to get back on track financially.

I am writing to request support for a dedicated mother of seven children who is currently facing financial hardships. Despite her continued efforts to provide a safe and nurturing home, she is in urgent need of new bedding arrangements for six of her children.

At present, the condition of their mattresses and beds has significantly deteriorated, making it increasingly difficult for the children to rest comfortably and get the sleep they need for their health and development. To ensure their well-being and improve their living conditions, we are seeking assistance in obtaining bunk beds and mattresses that will provide a stable and suitable sleeping environment.

We are reaching out on behalf of a mother who spent three months in a shelter at Restoration House and previously lived in unsafe conditions. The mother has secured a house through Atlanta Housing, but owes a large deposit. In the meantime, her and her two children are currently living with her sister because she does not have the money for the deposit. Living with a disability and unable to work, she needs $850 to move into her new home. She wants to remain in the area because she relies on the essential support provided by Agape. Donations are being accepted through the Agape website, and all funds will go directly to the landlord through a check issued by Agape. Any help would be deeply appreciated as they navigate this difficult period.

I am requesting funding to help a 14 year old girl attend summer camp. She currently lives with her mother and older brother who is experiencing job and housing insecurity. The older brother is in and out of the home as he deals with staying out of the gang life. Despite all that she is dealing with this young lady continues to maintain her grades in school and a positive outlook on her situation. Attending camp will give this young lady a much needed reprieve from the current home situation and give her the encouragement that she needs to continue building on personal resilience and independence. Thank you for taking the time to consider this request.

Restore has been working with a family of two adults and 3 young children to assist them in getting settled in their new apartment. They lost their housing assistance in KS due to making too much income. They ended up having to move from KS to a cheaper apartment in MO. Both parents work - but with the expense of deposits, the move and cost increase of rent almost doubling, they are struggling to get on their feet. They found a way to make the deposits and initial rent but that really depleted them. This month they have been able to come up with all but $500 to cover the rent and utilities. We would like to help them with the remainder so they do not get behind and incur late fees. Once they get over the hump, they should be able to handle the expenses moving forward. If you would like to assist with any amount, it would be appreciated. This is a family we are walking beside and connecting with frequently hoping to show them support and the love of Christ. Please pray for them as they transition through many changes.
