This request is submitted on behalf of a prospective adoptive parent who is in the process of adopting two boys, ages 11 and 9. The individual is currently going through a divorce, which has brought significant changes and financial challenges to the family.The children are scheduled to attend a summer camp with a total cost of $50 ($25 per child). While full funding would be ideal, any level of support would be deeply appreciated to help provide the children with this valuable experience.

A beautiful family of 6 recently went through a crisis situation at home and is in need of a few essential items for their young children. Your help will go a long way to support this family as they are working to get back up on their feet. What they need the most is a car seat for their 2-year-old and one for their 20-month-old. They are also in need of a stroller for 2. (Double stroller) New or gently used would be much appreciated.

Seventeen year old female came into Children's Division custody when her parents were no longer able to care for her and did not make any arrangements for her care. A family friend has stepped up to take in the young lady and care for her. She is in need of a twin bed and a dresser.

This family is in urgent need of support as they navigate a challenging season. The mother has been hospitalized multiple times in recent months for psychiatric care, leaving the father as the sole caregiver for their three children. Their youngest child has a disability and experiences seizures, requiring constant supervision, which has made it difficult for the father to maintain consistent employment. As a result, the family has fallen behind on essential living expenses and recently lost their food assistance benefits. While CARES is actively working to help reinstate that support, the family currently needs immediate assistance with food, as well as basic household essentials. Providing items such as soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, diapers (size 6T), and a grocery store gift card would help relieve some of the burden. This support will allow the father to allocate his limited resources toward other urgent needs while ensuring his family’s basic well-being during this difficult time.

B is an expecting mother. She is 18 years old pregnant with her first child. She is almost 37 weeks. She has worked hard to obtain all items needed for her unborn son. She tried to purchase a car seat off of market place but one she got home she noticed that there were no straps included with the car seat, the person would not answer her calls or return her money. She has tried several places to get the car seat and has not had any luck with them. Because she is so close to delivery, she is in need of a car seat with straps to safely bring her child home. She is also in need of receiving blankets. She has heavy blankets but would like a few lighter blankets.

Mom needs help getting her electric bill paid. she is scheduled to be shut off tomorrow.

When hardship hits, we turn to our church family. A dedicated single mom of 4, who also cares for a young adult who has aged out of the foster care system, needs our help. She works full-time as a home health aide driving up to 70 miles a day to care for her clients, part of what she does is taking them to appointments, and picking up prescriptions and groceries. She also drives her kids to school daily. One afternoon, after school pickup, she was hit by a driver who fled the scene. Thankfully, she and the kids were unharmed, but her car was badly damaged and had to be towed. With no backup vehicle, she’s rented a car for 3 weeks to keep working and caring for her family but she can’t afford to keep renting a car. To keep insurance affordable, she has a high deductible. She’s saved $600 but still needs $1,400 to get her car out of the body shop this week. The body shop won’t accept payments, and the charities she contacted don’t cover this type of need. The children’s father is not involved or supportive. Church family, let’s come together and help this hardworking mom and her kids get their car back. No gift is too small. Please select “Fund” when donating. Every dollar makes a difference!

127 Place received a request from a member of a local church for a mom with three pre-school-age kids who are living in a motel. This family is from out-of-town looking for safety and a new life. They have no family support. They were just approved for an apartment with a move-in date of June 1, but they need help with deposits.

Mom started a job recently and has raised about half of the deposits. 127 Place is committing $500, but that leaves about $400 still needed for the deposits.

They do have beds, but nothing else, so 127 Place will also be working to provide other essentials for them to get started in their apartment. If you would like to help with donations for this family, please contact me by email ******@email.com or by text,(###) ###-####.

A young family of 2 children ages 1 and 7 years old are requesting a washer and dryer as they moved into a house from an apartment. The couple have been here from Venezuela for about 2.5 years and help out at Centro Cristiano a Las Naciones with leading music. They moved from an apartment which had a washer and dryer and now they need to provide for their own. The father is looking for work and does odd jobs to help pay for rent, bills, food, clothing, etc. A washer and dryer will help mom take care of her kids so that they will be able to attend school and help their hygiene. Thank you for your help.
