Story

•
4 Children 1 Adult

I am currently working with a grandmother who has taken placement of her four grandchildren. The caregiver has a very limited and fixed income and needs assistance with an air conditioning unit for one of the bedrooms for the children. This is needed, due to the summer coming and the increased heat and temperatures. This would greatly benefit the children in the home.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

The family is currently in urgent need of proper bedding for two young children, a 6-year-old girl and a 3-year-old girl. The mother has recently moved into a new apartment and has just begun working to support her household. While she is doing her best to provide for her children, she does not currently have the financial means to purchase beds or mattresses. The children are in need of two twin beds (separate), along with mattresses, bedding sets, and pillows. They are currently staying with a relative due to not having proper furniture. Providing these essential items will help ensure the children have a safe, comfortable, and stable sleeping environment in their new home.

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

A local family in need has been identified by our church. She lost her job and is trying to sell her house because otherwise she is going to lose it. This is one of those situations where circumstances have snowballed into a big mess. She's trying to get back on her feet, but the burden is heavy and discouraging. She needs a hand up. They have food for today and tomorrow. We would like to offer assistance with alleviating some of the bills that are piling up and helping the family to secure quality food options.

We are seeking the funds to pay their electricity bill so that the power can remain on, the phone bill so that she can maintain contact with their realtor as they try to sell the house, and funds for a grocery gift card.

Hey BC fam! We have a foster family in our church that has welcomed newborn twins into their home and is in urgent need of formula support. The babies consume one $40 can per day. The family is asking for $1,200 over the next 4 weeks as WIC will cover the cost after that. Your generosity will help provide essential nourishment during this critical time. Thank you for loving our families well and we know you will continue to do so. The family is grateful for anything!!!

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

Hey team, we have a family in our church that serves as a foster family. The birth mom for the child is in need of a convertible car seat so they can have the child for visitation. This would meet a huge need for this mom and child and serve the foster family as well. If you happen to have one in good condition that you could give her that is great or here is an option if you would be available and willing to purchase one. You can just get it to me and I'll make sure the foster family gets it. Thanks so much team.
