Request: #233576 • Urgency: Critical • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Brooklyn • State: New York • Zip Code: 11236 • County: Kings • Submitted By: Friends of the Children New York • Lead Church: COGENY - Church of God of East New York

Story

•
4 Children 1 Adult

We are currently assisting a single mother residing in Brooklyn with her four children. One of her children has been enrolled in our mentorship program, and we have been working to support the family through ongoing challenges. The mother has faced significant hardship, including housing insecurity and severely limited access to basic resources. She is currently unable to afford food and has exhausted her food stamp benefits, leaving the family without adequate nutrition. Additionally, one of the daughters does not have a dresser, limiting the family’s ability to maintain an organized and dignified living space. We are requesting the following urgent support for this family: Emergency food assistance to feed all four children and stabilize the family’s immediate nutritional needs. One dresser for the daughter, to provide a proper space for storing her belongings and to support a more organized home environment. The mother has a scheduled appointment with HRA (Human Resources Administration) today in an effort to seek further assistance. In the meantime, immediate support would greatly relieve the stress on this family and contribute to their sense of security and dignity. We appreciate your consideration in helping this family during a critical time.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

I am submitting a request for two brothers from Mexico who are living in a foster home. They have requested new bedsheets and comforters due to the ones in the home being older. They are great brothers who value their belongings and will take great care of the sheets. A link to the preferred comforter and sheets are below. They each would need a set. Thank you so much for your consideration! Estimated value is about $40 each, which would equate to $80 total. Go To Link

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

This is a family of a mom and four children (15, 13, 10, 8). The mother is currently unemployed. The mother is currently working with the department to improve herself and keep her family together. The family needs 5 doorknobs, 3 replacement doors, someone to install doors and knobs, 2 bunk bed sets (2 twin with mattresses).

The home was in deplorable condition when the department first engaged the family. The mother has made a significant improvement in the cleanliness of the home. The children have gone through a lot and seen a lot over the years. There are doors in the home that are broken with panels knocked out. The 15-year-old needs to use a knife to get in and out of his bedroom. The mother will need assistance with door and doorknob installation. Then children have dirty mattresses laying on the floor. Bunkbeds with fresh mattresses for the children and bunk beds to free up space would be great.

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!

Help Assist a Victim of Domestic Violence

We have a brave mother with young children who is a survivor of recent domestic violence, and we have been supporting this family in their journey toward stability. Unfortunately, the program we had arranged for them is no longer able to accept them. We urgently appeal to the community to help provide temporary housing for this mother and her children for the month, ensuring they have a safe roof over their heads. Meeting this need would not only offer immediate shelter but also give them the essential time to find another suitable program. This mother is currently 8 months pregnant, making it even more critical to secure a safe space for her and her children. Please join us in helping this young mother keep her family together and create a plan for their future.
