Story

6 Children 2 Adults

I am working with a family of two adults and five children in Pittsburg, KS. The only means of income are obtained through DoorDash deliveries and the family is currently running on two tires that are showing a lot of wires on the front two and I am afraid they will have one or two blowouts very soon. This is the only vehicle for the family so the children do have to ride in the vehicle to go to daycare and appointments and the family is struggling to find enough money to purchase new tires. Any help here would be greatly appreciated! I have called and got a quote for both tires, tax, and installation which adds up to $500.15. I could provide the name of the shop and get with you to have the order number that I could send the family so there is no money being exchanged between anyone other than just the shop itself. Thank you!

Help Make a Foster Care Placement

Youth is looking for a mattress and bedframe. Youth is moving out of his foster care group home and into his first independent living placement while remaining in care. Youth does not have enough funds to purchase a bed mattress or bedframe and is requesting support with this. Youth will benefit from this by helping increase healthy sleep patterns and allowing him to be successful in his daily duties and tasks. Youth is planning to move on 6/15/2025

Help Reunify a Bio Family

I have an eight year old male who is in kinship placement. His parents have both been working hard to address safety concerns and work towards reunification. Mom has been in her own apartment since about February of 2025 and dad will be moving into his own apartment next week (parents are separated). With the anticipated return home, parents will need a bed for their son. I am seeking support in providing a twin bed (one for each house hold) so this is one less item they need to worry about.

Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

I am working with three kiddos who are 4 (male), 3 (female), and 11 mo. (male). In May, they were removed from their home and placed into foster care. The initial foster home they were placed in was not able to meet their needs, so a week later, they had to move again. When the kids were placed in their current home, they did not have much with them. Foster mom reported that the clothing they had does not fit and a lot of the baby items are old, dirty, and had to be thrown away. The two older children are high needs as they struggle with behavioral issues, speech delays, and regulation challenges. The youngest has a brain injury that requires ongoing care. We want to support them and the foster parents as much as possible to help with stability and structure. In speaking with foster parents, they would benefit from some additional support in buying new and useable items for the kids.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

A single mother of three is facing a difficult season. Despite living with a disability that prevents her from working right now, she is taking classes to earn an LVN license at a local university, taking a bold step toward a better future for her family. But the road ahead is still steep. She’s currently working with a lawyer to extend her workers' compensation so she can receive a surgery on her spine that she urgently needs. In the meantime, she’s struggling to keep up with her car payments which are her only means of transportation to medical appointments, and her children’s activities. Amid these challenges, there is light: her daughter recently made the beautiful decision to accept Christ and be baptized at our Lake Forest campus, a moment of joy and hope for the entire family. This is a family full of love, faith, and determination. Any support no matter how small would mean the world to them. Your kindness could help keep them moving forward during this critical time.

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.
