This auntie is taking care of her nieces ages 1 and 3, while their mother undergoes rehabilitation for drug abuse. She is in need of two car seats for girls and a one time food voucher card. Can anyone help with these needs for the girls to take some of the weight off of the aunties shoulders?

Thanks :)

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Single mom of a two young children and custodian of her 14-year-old brother is searching for either a full-size mattress (she has a bed frame) or bunk beds with the mattresses, as soon as possible. She would also need bedding provided as well. The mother came to the area after fleeing a physically and verbally domestic violence situation in another state with the children’s father. She is attempting to start over and searching for this assistance. She has been working hard as a CNA – working 16-hour shifts to provide for her family.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A father at Point Church has recently regained custody of his children. He is in need of car seats for his 5 year old and 7 year old. The type of car seat that converts from a 5 point harness to a booster seat would be ideal. It would be a huge blessing for him to have these by June 6th so he can safely transport his children.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A mother and her child are currently struggling financially due to the father, who was the main source of income, abruptly leaving the home and not providing assistance. The mother is a small business owner and does not make enough to meet the day-to-day needs of her and her child and does not know how she is going to be able to make ends meet. The family is also struggling with the mental strain of no longer having the father present on top of the financial burden now placed solely on the mother, and so we would like to ease the burden a bit by helping them in the form of gift cards for gas and groceries.

Help a Veteran with Medical Needs

We’re reaching out on behalf of a beloved retired pastor and former U.S. Marine who served at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. He’s now facing serious health issues, including bladder cancer, and chronic kidney disease linked to toxic water exposure during his service, in addition he’s had multiple strokes and has dementia. Though he qualifies under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, he’s not yet received any compensation or VA benefits. He currently lives in a board and care facility, but his Social Security falls $800 short each month. His wonderful daughter, who visits and helps care for him, has been covering the difference. Unfortunately, she suffered a medical emergency in March and hasn’t been able to work and has had to move in with a friend. Due to errors in processing her short-term disability, she hasn’t received income since then. Her close friends stepped in to help cover the past 2 months but they can no longer continue. With 2 months of unpaid board and care approaching, no clear timeline for when she’ll receive payment, and no other options, she is extremely worried about how she’ll cover the costs for June and July. We’re working on VA benefits and finding a more affordable facility if her income isn’t restored soon, but that is a lengthy process. In the meantime, we’re asking for your help to keep this faithful man who gave his life to serving God and our country in his current facility and not be forced onto the street. Please select “FUND” when giving.
