Story

•
3 Children 1 Adult

Mom and her children were living in a shed on her grandmother’s property until it was repossessed after Mom lost her job and could no longer keep up with the payments. With no other housing options, the family moved into a tent on the same property—just as rain was in the forecast for the upcoming weekend. Amid these challenging circumstances, Mom reached out to the director of a transitional living program for women. She was accepted and they are now residing at location. Mom has since started working, but she needs a pair of black non-slip shoes to meet work requirements, marking an important first step toward stable housing. Mom has a limited support system and tends to be wary of others due to difficult past experiences. While she may come across as guarded or abrasive at first, once she begins to trust someone, her humor and personality start to shine through. Girl, age 8, clothing size 8/9 and shoe size 3.5. Boy, age 5 , clothing size 7 and shoe size 2. Boy, age 7, clothing size 8 and shoes size 4 Mom wears shoe size 9.5 Girl, and boy age 5 have upcoming birthdays, but their mother is currently unable to afford birthday gifts, they need spring and summer clothing.

Girl has a special love for cats, and they all enjoy pretty, shiny things, drawing, and snapping fun pictures.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

Grace's Table is about to meet 50+ new teen mamas! Our annual Diaper Day is June 9th and mamas (ages 13 to 24-years-old) can get free diapers and wipes for each of their kiddos. As our largest outreach event of the year, Diaper Day is an investment in the dignity of young families in Grand Rapids. No mama should ever have to choose between buying diapers and putting food on the table! While at Grace's Table for Diaper Day, families will have the chance to meet our partners from Corewell Health, Catherine's Health Center, and Nurse Family Partnership just to name a few. We'll have on-site car seat safety education and families who lack a car seat or simply have an unsafe model can get a brand new one! Families who already attend Grace's Table are also eligible, so we expect a packed house!

Mamas at Grace's Table are surrounded by circles of support as they invest in themselves. Here, they find resources to advance their education/career goals, find safe housing, and connect with mental health support. Diaper Day brings dozens of brand new families into our community and you can be a part of the celebration! Donating diapers and wipes ensures clean buns and new relationships. We've listed the diaper sizes and numbers we need to make sure every family feels valued and connected. Your church's investment is critical! If you have questions, please let us know!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

This is a request from RestoreOKC. We have a participant in our workforce program who is in need of assistance with her OG&E bill. She found out recently that a charge was fraudulently applied to her account, and this charge applied an extra $500 to her account (someone she knows used her information to set up an account but did not pay the bill). The amount owed is now $800 and her electricity was turned off on Friday, the 22nd. She has filed with OG&E that this charge was fraudulent, but they have not yet completed an investigation. She has $200 to put toward the bill. She has reached out to other resources to get help, but has either been turned away or has not heard back. This mom has two children in the home with her. She is a hardworking person who has come against a very difficult situation and any help you can provide would mean a lot.

Help Make a Kinship Placement

Two small children that have been in custody for a couple of months are disrupting from their foster placement this weekend and KVC has last minute been able to approve a relative placement. The home is in need of one 5 point harness car seat and two mattresses and bed frames(two twins or one twin and one toddler). These children will move likely on Sunday or Monday and while the relative can borrow the car seat for a week or so to go with the one they already have they will be giving up their bed for the kids to sleep in until we are able to locate beds for the children. Any assistance is appreciated, and the placement has a truck and is willing to pickup the beds from anywhere in the KC metro area on Sunday or Monday.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

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.
