Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

A compassionate non-relative caregiver has taken in 11-month-old twins and is struggling financially to meet their basic needs. She urgently needs two cribs with mattresses and bedding to provide safe sleep and to meet licensing requirements for financial support. A double stroller is also needed to safely transport the children outside the home. Your help would make a huge difference in creating a safe, stable environment for these little ones. Thank you for considering this request!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

The family consists of a single mother, her two sons (a 10-year-old and a 13-year-old), and her elderly mother, whom she cares for. She is currently employed full-time; however, due to an unexpected vehicle expense, she will be short on her rent payment this month. On behalf of this family, I am requesting assistance from the community. This support will benefit the mother, her sons, and her elderly mother.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A father at Point Church has recently regained custody of his children. He is in need of car seats for his 5 year old and 7 year old. The type of car seat that converts from a 5 point harness to a booster seat would be ideal. It would be a huge blessing for him to have these by June 6th so he can safely transport his children.

Help a Veteran with Medical Needs

We’re reaching out on behalf of a beloved retired pastor and former U.S. Marine who served at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. He’s now facing serious health issues, including bladder cancer, and chronic kidney disease linked to toxic water exposure during his service, in addition he’s had multiple strokes and has dementia. Though he qualifies under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, he’s not yet received any compensation or VA benefits. He currently lives in a board and care facility, but his Social Security falls $800 short each month. His wonderful daughter, who visits and helps care for him, has been covering the difference. Unfortunately, she suffered a medical emergency in March and hasn’t been able to work and has had to move in with a friend. Due to errors in processing her short-term disability, she hasn’t received income since then. Her close friends stepped in to help cover the past 2 months but they can no longer continue. With 2 months of unpaid board and care approaching, no clear timeline for when she’ll receive payment, and no other options, she is extremely worried about how she’ll cover the costs for June and July. We’re working on VA benefits and finding a more affordable facility if her income isn’t restored soon, but that is a lengthy process. In the meantime, we’re asking for your help to keep this faithful man who gave his life to serving God and our country in his current facility and not be forced onto the street. Please select “FUND” when giving.
