Request: #233646 • Urgency: High • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Fort Lauderdale • State: Florida • Zip Code: 33311 • County: Broward • Submitted By: Prevention Central • Lead Church: Spanish River Church

Story

•
4 Children 1 Adult

We are assisting a devoted mother of four who is facing extreme hardship. For over two years, she has been stuck in a painful divorce with no court date, leaving her emotionally and financially drained.

She cares for her two youngest children and is now behind $1,150 in rent, with a monthly payment of $2,300. Her electricity bill is overdue by $152.78, and she’s struggling to pay for car insurance, her only means of transportation for her children.

Due to court restrictions, she cannot leave her 14-year-old alone or bring her to work. The father, who shares custody, refuses to help or allow flexibility. As a result, she lost her job. She now delivers for Instacart but faces challenges due to lack of childcare. She is also a survivor of domestic violence, with an open legal case. Despite everything, she actively engages with our agency’s programs and visits our food pantry weekly. This mother is resilient but overwhelmed. She urgently needs help to avoid eviction and keep her family safe.

Clothing Needs: Daughter: Pants 18 (kids), Shirt Small (juniors), Shoes 6–7 Son: Pants 36 (men’s), Shoes 10.5 (men’s) Mother: Shoes 9

Your support, financial help, and clothing could bring this family much needed hope. Please consider helping today.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

the child grandparents are very loving grandparents who want nothing but the best for their grandson but with all the misfortune that the child has lived and grew up in has really had a bad affect on his self esteem where his grades in school are below average and he barely has any friends because of this. the child is does not want to join any summer camps because of his low self esteem issues. The grandparents are retired and live on a tight budget.

The child is 13 years old and not into any sports but would really like to have a bike so he can ride around to stores during his summer vacation and a Laptop so he can do online tutoring to get his grades up so when he goes back to school he can feel better about himself. I know that this is a tall order but anything that can help the child with his his self esteem is worth any efforts.

26 inch bike with no gear and a Laptop. Thank You

We are serving the family through Parents as Teachers. We are working to get the parent connected with area resources; however, in the interim the family is in need of formula for the infant. If anyone is able to help with a donation formula in the interim, it would be greatly appreciated.

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

Dear Team Sherry, this is our final update! Sherry, Kaya, and Kennedy are packing and preparing for the big move at the end of June. Kaya and Kennedy will move into their grandfather’s home in Yorba Linda and commute to Saddleback College. Kennedy graduated high school, got her permit, and will have her license soon. Kaya is carefully planning her transfer to Fullerton College in another year. Cameron remains in New York and is doing well. Sherry will be moving to Nevada to live with a longtime friend. It’s an emotional shift after many years living together, but this past year has been a gift. Thanks to your support, Sherry provided a stable home, helped Cameron begin a new path, supported Kaya’s growth, and celebrated Kennedy’s graduation all in their family home. While the family will no longer live together, they’re ending this chapter with something meaningful: Sherry, Kaya, and Kennedy will all serve as volunteers at Royal Family Kids Camp in late June. It’s a full-circle moment, as giving back to other foster families has always been a passion of theirs. Sherry says this year has been nothing short of a gift from God and that your generosity and prayers was the conduit of that blessing. On behalf of Max, thank you for stepping out in faith and making a lasting difference. Your support was not just financial it was a message of hope and love, and it changed the course of a family’s life. Thank you, Team Sherry! Please select “FUND” when donating.

Alleviate Food/Essentials Insecurity

The client is seeking assistance with her South Central Power bill, which is scheduled for disconnection on June 3, 2025, due to a past-due balance of $349.60. She is able to contribute $100 toward the amount owed.

The client recently experienced significant hardship, including a divorce followed by a car accident that was not her fault. As a result, she was temporarily unable to work and fell behind on her bills. She has since returned to full-time employment and now has a sustainable income.

Given her current circumstances and demonstrated effort toward self-sufficiency, she has been referred to InterFaith for possible assistance.
