Request: #234323 • Urgency: High • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Cape Girardeau • State: Missouri • Zip Code: 63701 • County: Cape Girardeau • Submitted By: MO- DSS

Story

•
1 Child 2 Adults

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing on behalf of a single father and the father's mother who are currently working hard to build a safe, stable, and nurturing home for himself and his one-year-old child. He is dedicated and loving, navigating the responsibilities of parenting on his own while striving to provide a comfortable environment where his child can grow and thrive.

This household recently transitioned into a more permanent housing situation after facing a period of instability. While the father is making steady progress and prioritizing his child’s well-being, the family is in need of several essential household items to make their space functional and livable.

Specifically, they are in need of:

A toddler mattress Two queen-size bed frames

Two adult dressers and one toddler dresser

Pots and pans – to support regular home-cooked meals, helping maintain a healthy routine and reduce food costs.

Bedding for all household members – to ensure everyone has clean, comfortable linens for a good night’s rest.

While these may seem like simple items, they represent a huge step toward stability and dignity for this small family. The father is deeply committed to creating a secure and nurturing space for his child, and with your help, he will be better equipped to meet their daily needs.

Thank you for your time, compassion, and any assistance you may be able to provide.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

We’ve come across a heartfelt situation involving a family that has graciously welcomed a 17-year-old boy into their home. This young man, who tragically lost his mother last year, has no family to care for him, and it was his kind classmate who opened their door to him. However, living in a small two-bedroom house has brought additional challenges for everyone involved. The family is currently facing financial difficulties, struggling to make ends meet, with groceries running low and falling behind on this month’s rent by $300. We’re reaching out to the community to kindly ask for support to help this family navigate this tough time. Your generosity could make a significant difference in their lives. The family has just welcomed a new infant in their home and a 17 year old boy.

Help Assist a Victim of Domestic Violence

A courageous mother from Peru came to the United States a few years ago seeking a better life for herself and her three children, who are currently being cared for by her mother back home. Since arriving, she has faced some difficult challenges. As a survivor of domestic abuse, she found safety and support in a women’s shelter, where she stayed with her infant son.

She first started attending Mesa Church over a year and a half ago, initially connecting through the women’s group, where she found community and support. Since then, she has placed her faith in Jesus and was baptized in February, opening her heart to healing and new beginnings.

Now, with hope in her heart, she dreams of starting her own baking business to support her children and build a brighter future. She is moving into a new apartment this weekend with her 19-month-old son (wears size 6 diapers) and is in need of furniture and essential household items. If you’re able to donate any of the items listed, your support would have a profound impact on this new chapter of her life. Thank you!
