Pregnant teen is expecting her first child at the end of the Month and needs help securing a pack and play. A crib would be ideal but typically pregnant teens in foster care often experience placement interruptions and/or changes. The pack and play will provide a safe sleeping arrangement for the infant to prevent co-sleeping and can easily be assembled or packed away should the teen undergo a placement change. Helping this teen will promote a sense of security as she is worried that she will not have what she needs before her baby arrives. Please click the link to help this young mother.

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!

This is a request made by a single mother of three teenage girls. Mom made some bad choices in the past, but has turned her life around and is in the process of regaining guardianship of her three girls. She was able to put a down payment on an attorney to help her with the court process, which she was able to do because of her full-time job. Mom requested some additional bath towels and wash cloths for the home as they only have a few. The girls have requested some additional items: underwear: size 6 and 10 (women's sizes), pads for day and night, Pantene shampoo and conditioner, sensitive skin lotion, box fan, blow dryer and hair ties. Both mom and the girls experienced recent household fires before coming back together in the same household, so they are slowly rebuilding their lives together.

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.
