Story

•
1 Child 2 Adults

Single mother of two boys, ages 17 and 11, in need of bed for herself and her children. The family has recently moved into a new home of this year, around March, alongside a new job for the mother. The mother is starting a new life after being displaced by the most recent hurricanes of 2024 – Debbie, Helene, and Milton. With the fulfilment of beds in mind, having family bed arranged offer several benefits: they enhance emotional bonding, streamline nighttime caregiving, and create a secure, nurturing environment—all while making it easier to respond promptly to a child's needs when safe sleep practices are followed. With the basic needs taken care, the mother can focus on other essential needs as she works on sustainability and self-sufficiency. With the costs and potential savings in mind with the purchase, the request should fulfil the allowed maximum amount of a spending for a family.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A courageous mother of three is preparing to move into a home she will one day own through a rent-to-own opportunity, a dream she’s worked hard to make a reality. Over the past few years, we've had the honor of walking alongside her and witnessing powerful moments of growth. She is nearing one year of sobriety, has bravely left a domestic violence situation, and has fought to get the support her children need to thrive. Now, she’s taking the next step toward stability - securing a home where she can plant roots and truly take ownership! However, the home needs a lot of work. Demolition, paint, cabinets, flooring, and more. It’s not move-in ready, and we can’t do this alone. We need the community’s help to turn this space into a safe, welcoming home for her and her children. This is more than just a renovation. It’s a chance to invest in someone who is becoming a leader in her community - someone committed to walking with and supporting other families on their journeys. Let’s come together and help build a strong foundation for this incredible mom and her kids. With your help, we can turn this house into a place of healing, hope, and long-term flourishing!
