Request: #234060 • Urgency: High • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Sumter • State: South Carolina • Zip Code: 29150 • County: Sumter • Submitted By: Crosswell Home for Children

Story

•
2 Children 2 Adults

This request is on behalf of a devoted mother of three who is in urgent need of support. Her oldest daughter, age 25, lives with multiple complex medical diagnoses, including cerebral palsy, hydrocephalus, and epilepsy. She is non-ambulatory, uses a wheelchair, and requires round-the-clock care as well as multiple weekly medical appointments in Columbia—over an hour away. The mother also has two younger children, ages 12 and 16, who are active in school and extracurricular activities.

Since her husband passed away from lung cancer in 2017, this mother has consistently and lovingly provided for her family. However, with the rising cost of living and the added demands of caregiving, her grocery budget has become increasingly strained. For the first time, she is struggling to keep nutritious food on the table.

This is a short-term setback—not a pattern. Providing food assistance would immediately relieve pressure, ensure her children and medically fragile daughter are nourished, and remind this resilient mom that her community sees and supports her.

Grocery List: Chicken wings, ground beef, turkey wings, pork chops, milk, juice, bacon, eggs, cinnamon toast crunch, spaghetti noodles, canned vegetables, pepperoni hot pockets, lunch meat, chips, cookies, any kind of microwave meals

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

Dear Careportal family, I hope this message finds you well. We have an urgent request from the Lead Southeast Middle family who need our support. A single mother is striving to care for her two young boys, but she is facing significant challenges in providing for them, especially as job opportunities become increasingly scarce. This mother is doing her best in a difficult situation and needs assistance with some necessities, particularly food. Offering help to this family would make a profound difference in their lives during this challenging time. Your kindness and generosity could truly alleviate some of the burdens they are facing. Thank you for considering lending a helping hand.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

A young family from Afghanistan arrived in Holland a few months ago and is in need of support. While the dad speaks a few phrases in English, they primarily speak Pashto and have 4 children (plus one more on the way due in August). Their 10 year old son is currently enrolled at an elementary school on the northside of Holland. The younger siblings are a 5 year old boy and two girls aged 4 and 6 months. The father worked for the US Military in Afghanistan for 15 years before coming to Lansing with his family in 2021. He worked in a car factory in Lansing, but decided to come to Holland to be closer to friends when his family lost housing. The father is still searching for local employment, but is able to drive his own small car. They have borrowed funds for rent the past few months, but are running out of options. Any help would be a gift as we search for more sustainable income for their family!

Movement West Michigan has been made aware of the needs of this family and are working with multiple local agencies and churches to coordinate immediate support as they work toward long-term stability.

Help Maintain Work Transportation

When hardship hits, we turn to our church family. A dedicated single mom of 4, who also cares for a young adult who has aged out of the foster care system, needs our help. She works full-time as a home health aide driving up to 70 miles a day to care for her clients, part of what she does is taking them to appointments, and picking up prescriptions and groceries. She also drives her kids to school daily. One afternoon, after school pickup, she was hit by a driver who fled the scene. Thankfully, she and the kids were unharmed, but her car was badly damaged and had to be towed. With no backup vehicle, she’s rented a car for 3 weeks to keep working and caring for her family but she can’t afford to keep renting a car. To keep insurance affordable, she has a high deductible. She’s saved $600 but still needs $1,400 to get her car out of the body shop this week. The body shop won’t accept payments, and the charities she contacted don’t cover this type of need. The children’s father is not involved or supportive. Church family, let’s come together and help this hardworking mom and her kids get their car back. No gift is too small. Please select “Fund” when donating. Every dollar makes a difference!

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

127 Place received a request from a member of a local church for a mom with three pre-school-age kids who are living in a motel. This family is from out-of-town looking for safety and a new life. They have no family support. They were just approved for an apartment with a move-in date of June 1, but they need help with deposits.

Mom started a job recently and has raised about half of the deposits. 127 Place is committing $500, but that leaves about $400 still needed for the deposits.

They do have beds, but nothing else, so 127 Place will also be working to provide other essentials for them to get started in their apartment. If you would like to help with donations for this family, please contact me by email ******@email.com or by text,(###) ###-####.
