Story

•
1 Child 1 Adult

I am working with a little boy (age 4) who is growing out of all of his clothes. His mother made a comment that he's wearing clothes too small for him during visits. When FCM spoke with the relative care provider, they expressed a hardship currently. They cannot purchase the boy new clothes at this time and asked if DCS could assist. Unfortunately, we already provided a clothing voucher upon removal and cannot provide another one. If someone could purchase some outfits for this little boy, it would be amazing. He is currently supposed to be wearing 5T clothing, but most of his clothes are 3T and 4T. You can purchase a gift card to a store, or just purchase some outfits for this guy. He's not picky! Some specific needs are a light jacket, shorts, t-shirts, pants/jeans, anything else you like... Thank you so much for your consideration!

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

We have a family of 3 that have accumulated a large water bill. Mom states that there was a water leak that has now been fixed; however, she has a water bill of $1700.00. She was able to pay $500.00 so she is still in need of $1200.00. She has reached out to social services and states that she cannot take out a loan. She appreciates any assistance.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

A young, non-relative caregiver has taken in a teenager who is in need of some support to stabilize the placement. The child is not in foster care and this placement remains a stable and safe place for the child to reside. The caregiver is young and on a fixed income while waiting on legal custody arrangement to be made through the courts. While waiting to file for the appropriate benefits and financial support for the child, the caregiver and child would greatly benefit from a little food and clothing to offset some costs. The child is a size medium in both shirt and pants. Any support that can be provided to this kind caregiver and teenage child would be immensely helpful in the stabilization of a kinship placement and the ongoing success of the family unit. Thank you in advance for any consideration.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

A single mother of three is facing a difficult season. Despite living with a disability that prevents her from working right now, she is taking classes to earn an LVN license at a local university, taking a bold step toward a better future for her family. But the road ahead is still steep. She’s currently working with a lawyer to extend her workers' compensation so she can receive a surgery on her spine that she urgently needs. In the meantime, she’s struggling to keep up with her car payments which are her only means of transportation to medical appointments, and her children’s activities. Amid these challenges, there is light: her daughter recently made the beautiful decision to accept Christ and be baptized at our Lake Forest campus, a moment of joy and hope for the entire family. This is a family full of love, faith, and determination. Any support no matter how small would mean the world to them. Your kindness could help keep them moving forward during this critical time. Please select “FUND” when donating.

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.
