Story

2 Children 2 Adults

Two children are in Roanoke City DSS custody, and their parents are working toward getting them back by attending weekly visitation. They are also attending weekly parenting classes, per the department's request, but they do not have their own form of transportation. I am seeking two bus passes to help them with transportation to and from these events.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A father recently took custody of his two children after their mother was arrested. He lives in a very small studio apartment and is now searching for bigger housing. He has identified food as a need for the family. Family Preservation services are connecting the family to community resources to assist. He is limited to what fresh/cold products they can have as the family does not have a full-size fridge due to the size of the space. A grocery gift card would likely be most feasible for the family. Knowledge of affordable housing options would also be beneficial as father is looking for a larger place relatively quickly.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

Please help reunify a biological family. The father has maintained regular and consistent weekly contact with his daughter by visiting and calling. The father visits 3 to 4 times a week and can utilize public transportation when the visits are local. However, father was recently awarded unmonitored visitation time which has increased his visitation hours as well as the number of visits he attends. father is required to travel to a location close to his daughter's placement in orange county for these extra visits. It currently takes father a total of three hours of bus rides and walking to travel from Los Angeles County to Orange County, for the visits. Over the last year, father experienced the loss of his job and housing and is unable to purchase a bicycle without financial assistance. Purchasing a bicycle for father will shorten his travel time, allow him to engage in the extra visits and ensure that he can maintain his strong bond with young daughter Walmart sells a 21 Speed Mountain Bike for $189.99 plus tax.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Please help strengthen a bio-family. Mother and child currently sleep on the same bed but their bed has a broken frame. The family can really benefit from having a safe bed to sleep on. Mother's main source of income is her catering job where she cooks in her home then delivers the food. Unfortunately, mother's stove recently broke down as well. Mother cannot financially afford to repair or replace her stove and does not have any family or friends that could financially assist her. The family really needs to get their stove replaced. The family would really appreciate if you are able to assist them.

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.

Alleviate Food/Essentials Insecurity

There is a Neighbor's Ministry Mom that we have been working with for awhile that is in need of groceries. She experienced the unexpected loss of a child and has been dealing with a huge amount of grief which has been paralyzing at times. She is having trouble with her food stamp benefits and with her daughter out of school now for the summer, is in need of groceries to give them a strong start to the summer while she sorts out her food benefits. I have all of the items in an online cart for Aldi. If someone is interested in sponsoring them, I am happy to pick it up and deliver. Or if you would like to pick up and deliver just let me know :)
