A family in Springfield is currently facing a challenging season and is without gas due to a shutoff. This has impacted their ability to cook, heat their home, and maintain basic daily routines. They are actively working toward stability, but in the meantime, we are seeking support to help them restore their gas service and bring comfort back into their home. Any assistance—financial or otherwise—is greatly appreciated during this time.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

This request is for a single mother who lives in the heart of Lynchburg with her toddler. She had family living with her until recently when they moved out of state, leaving her alone to care for her child and keep up income through cleaning houses. Her child currently does not have an actual bed for sleeping. When presented with the possibility of getting a bed for her child, her face lit up like a Christmas tree that there are people who may be able to bring her son a bed. Thank you for any help you can give to this family!!

Help Reunify a Bio Family

We have a single father who recently moved into a bigger place in Gainesville so that he can reunify with his son. He was approved to start overnight visits, but needs a bed and appropriate bedding for these overnights to begin. This father works full-time and is gainfully employed. He has all of his funds tied up in the housing/move expenses. This father's first visit will be on 6/6/2025. A used twin bed, box spring, and frame is also needed in addition to the bedding. The 6 year old child loves Spider-Man!

Thank you for helping us support this family getting back together.

The child is in need of clothing:

Shirts: Medium (Boys)

Shoes: Size 4 (Boys)

Every bit of support—whether through clothing donations, financial help, or simply sharing this message—can make a world of difference to this family.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Family discovered mold in the foundation of the house, impacting the health and wellness of those residing. Cost of mold remediation and installing drainage (sump pump) is far beyond the family's financial means. The costs are far greater than listed but every bit helps.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A mom and her 3 year old daughter currently reside in a Domestic violence shelter after leaving an abusive relationship. She has been attending counseling, getting her daughter enrolled in daycare, applying for jobs, etc. Recently, she was placed into a rental assistance program and was able to secure her own apartment. She will be exiting shelter on Monday 6/2 and has nothing for her new home. She is in need of a couch, coffee table, tv, and tv stand. She would also love to have curtains, desk, and a standing lamp but these are not necessities.
