Story

•
2 Children 2 Adults

We’re excited to welcome and support a new foster family who has recently opened their home to two little ones: a 6-month-old infant and a 3-year-old toddler. As they begin this important journey, we’d love to help them get started with a few essentials to support their new placement.

Baby walker or bouncer – to help support the 6-month-old’s development and provide some comfort and stimulation.

Infant formula – the family is currently learning the specific needs and preferences of the baby, which can be a bit of a trial-and-error process in the early days. Because of this, Similac 360 Total Care is the suggested formula and/or a gift card to a local grocery store would also be incredibly helpful and appreciated.

This family is working with Foster Village Memphis, a nonprofit dedicated to equipping, connecting, and advocating for foster, adoptive, and kinship families and the children they care for. We provide critical support through tangible resources, holistic support, and community connections—bridging the gap between the needs of families and the wider community's willingness to help.

If you're able to help, your contribution would mean a great deal to this new foster family and the children they’re caring for. Thank you for supporting these first steps in creating a safe, loving home.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

the child grandparents are very loving grandparents who want nothing but the best for their grandson but with all the misfortune that the child has lived and grew up in has really had a bad affect on his self esteem where his grades in school are below average and he barely has any friends because of this. the child is does not want to join any summer camps because of his low self esteem issues. The grandparents are retired and live on a tight budget.

The child is 13 years old and not into any sports but would really like to have a bike so he can ride around to stores during his summer vacation and a Laptop so he can do online tutoring to get his grades up so when he goes back to school he can feel better about himself. I know that this is a tall order but anything that can help the child with his his self esteem is worth any efforts.

26 inch bike with no gear and a Laptop. Thank You

This is a request from RestoreOKC. We have an family in need of help getting their tag and registration paid for.

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.
