Request: #234673 • Urgency: Normal • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Lynchburg • State: Virginia • Zip Code: 24502 • County: Lynchburg City • Submitted By: Lynchburg City DSS

Story

•
2 Children 1 Adult

I am submitting this heartfelt request on behalf of a dedicated single mother of two teenagers who is working tirelessly to create a better future for her family.

Despite facing significant financial challenges, she remains determined to improve her circumstances. She has a clear vision: to secure better job opportunities, expand her skills, and increase her financial stability. However, one major obstacle stands in her way—access to a laptop. Having this essential tool would allow her to complete online courses, apply for jobs, and take control of her financial future with confidence.

Your support in providing a laptop would not only empower her but also set a powerful example for her teenagers, showing them the value of perseverance and education. This small investment can make a tremendous difference in their lives, paving the way for a brighter, more secure future.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

I’m reaching out on behalf of a kind and devoted elderly woman in our community who has spent many years providing in-home childcare for local families. She’s always been there for others, offering a safe and loving space for children when their parents needed it most. Now, she needs a little help from us. Her gutters are clogged and causing water damage risks, and her front door is broken, making it difficult for her to safely enter and secure her home. She lives on a fixed income and cannot afford the repairs herself. I'm hoping our community can come together to support her with these much-needed repairs, so she can continue to live and care for others in a safe and stable environment.

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!

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.
