Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

I have a custodian in need of services to help since she has gained custody of 1- and 6-year-old boys from a family friend. The custodian is struggling to take care of the family due to high living cost. The family is in need of help with food in the home due to rising cost of groceries, diapers size 4 and wipes, clothes size 12-18 months, shoes size 7c for the 1-year-old. The 6-year-old wears a 6 or 7 in boys clothing and a 2y in shoes. The custodian has also asked for a need in cleaning supplies due to the children's sensitve skin, she is asking for Arm & Hammer Sensitive Detergent. The need would help offset the cost of living to help her not have to relinquish custody due to not being able to provide to her highest capability. Thank you, Kendra Hawkins.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A resource family needs urgent assistance with purchasing a new car seat for a baby who is 10 months old and has been in care since October 2024, when she was removed from an unsafe environment. She has been placed with her paternal aunt, who is now her sole caregiver in a household of five. The young child is rapidly growing and has outgrown her current car seat, creating a safety concern for transportation to essential appointments and family needs. As a dedicated resource family household, her aunt is doing everything she can to provide for her niece, but the financial strain is making it difficult to afford a new, properly sized car seat that meets safety standards. Any assistance you can provide to support this family in ensuring the child's safety and well-being would be deeply appreciated.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

Hello, I am working with a single mother who just gave birth to a baby boy. She got discharged from the hospital with just a enough milk to last the day. She also does not produce enough milk for baby to breast feed. We had applied for WIC benefits but just found out that got deactivated and mom does not have an appointment to get WIC reactivated until two weeks as they are booked out. Mom is in urgent need of baby formula for her baby boy. Baby takes Similac 360 total care in a blue colored container or Similac pro total comfort in a lilac-colored container. We are requesting for enough supply to last her until she can get her WIC reactivated which is no sooner than two weeks from now. Thank you immensely for all you do and have done to support all our families.

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.
