Request: #233824 • Urgency: Normal • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Maywood • State: California • Zip Code: 90270 • County: Los Angeles • Submitted By: Los Angeles Dependency Lawyers, Inc. • Lead Church: Greater Shiloh COGIC

Story

•
2 Children 1 Adult

I'm reaching out to request support for a mother who is actively working toward reunification with her two young sons. Mom has recently been granted unmonitored visits, marking a significant step forward in her case and demonstrating her ongoing commitment to creating a safe and stable environment for her children.

At this time, she is in need of two car seats to safely transport her boys during visits. Both children are under 40 lbs. Appropriate car seats that meet current safety standards are essential for their wellbeing as required by law.

Providing this support would not only ensure the children's safety but also help remove a practical barrier to continued family bonding and reunification efforts.

Help Assist a Victim of Domestic Violence

A brave mom in our church community has endured years of physical and emotional abuse. Just four days after undergoing a double mastectomy for breast cancer, her husband threatened her with a weapon. She fled for her safety, obtained a restraining order and filed for divorce. They share two daughters, ages 9 and 3. Her husband is now seeking full custody of their daughters and he’s spreading false claims to their 9 year-old that her mom doesn’t want to see her. This has caused deep emotional trauma for their daughter. While the court has ordered joint custody for now, mother and the 9 year old daughter are in reunification counseling, which costs $1,000 a month paid by the mom alone. The father, who is on disability for severe mental illness, lives with his parents, who are covering his legal fees. He pays no child support or alimony. Meanwhile, the mom is also on disability during cancer treatment and receives just 30% of her salary. She’s facing mounting legal fees in her fight to protect and reunite with her daughters. She is currently $1,100 short on rent due to a recent attorney payment. She needs urgent financial support to cover her rent. Your generosity can make a real difference in her fight for the safety of her children, healing, and security. When donating, select “FUND”.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

CarePortal Request: Help unite Four Sisters—Ages 12, 11, 9, and 7—with Their Mother

Due to a confirmed investigation involving abuse and inappropriate discipline, the father was permanently removed from the home. In response, the mother has taken courageous and proactive steps to create a safe, nurturing environment—committed to protecting her daughters and keeping her family together.

To keep the girls safely in home, the family must meet basic housing and care standards. They are urgently in need of essential household items to create a clean, stable, and dignified living space for the children.

Your support can help restore hope, safety, and togetherness.

Urgent Needs: 2 twin-size bunk beds (or 4 twin beds)

4 twin mattresses

4 bedding sets (pillows, sheets, comforters)

4 bath towels and 4face cloths (1 set per child)

Laundry detergent and baskets

Storage containers for clothing and personal belongings

These items will help transform the home into a safe place for healing and growth—and allow the sisters to remain together under their mother’s care.

Thank you for being part of this family's journey toward healing and stability. This will take the whole body of Christ ( multiple churches) working together. Every item provided is a powerful step toward Family unification.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

The client is a 14-year-old female who was removed from her parents at the age of 9, due to neglect (substance abuse/domestic violence) by the mother and her significant other. Child’s bio-father passed away when she was 3. The child was placed in a stable foster home where she remains to date. Mother’s reunification svcs have been terminated; the child is likely to remain in foster care as she does not wish to be adopted or placed in legal guardianship.

The foster parents report the child is a pleasure to have in their home – she is respectful and listens well. The child recently completed 7th grade and admitted she spends much of her time alone in her room. To address/mitigate isolative behaviors, we investigated her interests. This child is quite amazing and is talented in the arts. She enjoys reading, drawing, and is interested in learning to play the flute and violin. Respectfully, we would like to request the following:

  • Art Supplies – graphite pencils, sketchbooks, or a gift card to Target, Walmart, or an arts supply store so she can purchase art supplies.
  • Gift card to a bookstore such as Barnes and Noble to buy books for summer reading.
  • Donation of a gently used flute and/or violin so she can join the school band or take music lessons. Thank you for your consideration in assisting with the requested items. Obtaining these items will help prevent isolative behaviors, increase social integration and self-confidence, and develop her artistic skills.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

An 11 year old boy has recently returned to his mother's care after an out of home placement. The family is trying to normalize life again with the changes and the child would like to attend a summer camp program. This summer camp is a good opportunity for the child to be able to learn new things and broaden his knowledge in STEM. Each day has a different activity/theme such as drones, 3D printing, and robotics. The family currently does not have the extra funds to pay for the camp and would like to request any assistance that could be possible. The camp sessions are held twice a week and there are two sessions per day. The cost is $20 per session and they are offered in the AM or PM. The child would love to attend all 4 days in July which would cost a total of $80. Any amount would be helpful, even if only one session is covered. The information flier notes that if a child registers for all 4 sessions in a month, they can receive a discount. The cost could be paid directly to the camp.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

This young man is a junior in high school. The student lives between his parents house and grandparents house. His grandmother has been experiencing some health challenges since that end of last year and this has taken a noticeable on this young man. The added cost of medical expenses for grandmother has left nothing to go towards extra curricular activities. As a result the student has begun to sell snack items at school to help support himself. This young man would benefit greatly by attending summer camp and be encouraged in his pursuit of high school graduation. This opportunity would be a light at the end of a very dark for this young man and serve as a reminder that hard work pays off not just in the future but now.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

This request is on behalf of a 17 year old high school student. This student is the oldest of 4 siblings and currently lives with their mother and father. The mother is not involved in the student's life and leaves the majority of the day to day responsibility to the father to care for and provide for the student and his younger siblings. Student does well in school and has been prioritizing his grades and school work. The student has expressed interest in going to summer camp but does not have the funds to attend. Attending summer camp would give the student much needed encouragement to continue to work hard towards his future goal of playing football at the college level.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

I am submitting this request on behalf of a high school female with special needs. The family recently moved from out of state and was staying at a local shelter before being placed in permanent housing. The family consist of mother, father and 4 children. All the children have varying disabilities. Currently mother is the only income earner for the family. This young lady would greatly benefit from attending summer camp where she can participate in age appropriate activities with her peers and get specialized support from a camp counselor. This will also allow for the mother and father to have a reprieve while they attend to the needs of the other children.
