Dear Reader, I am writing to respectfully request financial assistance for the burial of a Grandmother, who passed away on 5/11/2025. As you can imagine, this is a challenging time for her family, especially for her grandchildren she provided care for. The family is both dealing with the emotional and financial fall out due to her passing. The Grandmother’s greatest joys were her family and her role as a loving mother and grandmother. She recently devoted herself to caring for her five beloved grandchildren, exemplifying her nurturing spirit and deep love for her family. Like anything unexpected, the family was not prepared to have to bury a beloved family member, their grandmother was their sole caretaker and was their adoptive resource. Their maternal aunt has stepped up to take them in so they can stay with family and not go into a foster home. They are trying to gather as many resources to offset the cost of the funeral and need as much help as possible. We are immensely grateful for any support you can provide during this difficult time. Your help will not only ease our financial burden but also allow us to help honor their grandmother’s memory in a fitting manner. Thank you very much for considering our request. Please feel free to contact the case team at(###) ###-#### or(###) ###-####; ******@email.com or ******@email.com if you have any questions or require further information. With heartfelt thanks, Shannon Weese TFI Permanency Support Worker

Single mother of 2 children in need of a washer and dryer. Her washer and dryer broke and she does not drive so in order to get to the laundry mat she has to rely on public transportation or walk with her belongings. Her washer and dryer are electric.

Please help these parents get to visitation. The children on this case are placed in two different towns, and parents are struggling getting back and forth. Please bless these parents with a gas card.

Please help us keep these children from entering foster care. Maternal Aunt has unexpectedly taken in her sister's children. As such her utility bills have increased substantially placing a hardship on the family. Please help us keep these children out of foster care, and bless this Aunt by assisting her with her electric bill.

Hi Crew! A Wooddale global partner is moving within Minneapolis, and they would appreciate some help with yard work this Friday and Saturday (5/23-24). I know this is very short notice on a holiday weekend, but if anyone is willing to help out, let me know!

Good morning, friends. I have been made aware of a young woman who is 7 1/2 months into a high-risk pregnancy, who has a connection with someone in our church. Part of what she is struggling with is that one of the twins she is carrying passed away quite early in the pregnancy. She has also been in and out of the hospital with various infections, but the baby is fine. She had to quit her job so she has no income and is also not physically able to get out to purchase what she needs. She is being supported emotionally by the baby's father and her parents, but they do not have the means to equip a nursery. If you have ANY baby items taking up space that you would be willing to part with or can help provide any of the items listed, it would be so encouraging and greatly appreciated by them all. She is having a girl and they do have some clothes. I do not expect all of these items to be provided, but I am just throwing out ideas. Thank you so much!

A mom with a child with special needs mentioned that she was without basic clothing and personal hygiene items impacting her ability to work and provide for her family. These items would help this mom be able to provide for her family.

Grandmother took in 7 grandchildren. The family is in need of food and a fan for the house.
