Hello,

A mother has fallen behind on her gas bill and is in need of assistance before the utility is shut off. This mother is working hard to reunify with her three young children. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

A client of mine has been working full time for months and has a lot of bills at this time including reinstitution and needing to help his mother with her cancer and chemo going on. Ct says he is in need of a queen bed because he has his kids, as he gets them twice a week. When he has his kid they are all sleeping on the floor of any house they are at. Ct also stated that he and his mother last year had rented out his mothers home and needed some money at the time and sold the washer and dryer but since now they are getting the moms house back they are needing a washer and dryer again. This is needed to do all laundry of the house hold including his mothers, his and his children's laundry. ( I do not know what type of dryer he needs gas or electric) if we can get this I will need to find out.

I am reaching out to request financial support on behalf of my client, a dedicated mother of two young children who is currently navigating a difficult financial period due to her daughter’s special needs. She has always placed her children’s well-being above all else, but recent circumstances have created a temporary hardship.

Several months ago, my client made the difficult decision to leave her job in order to care for her autistic daughter, after multiple daycare centers were unable or unwilling to accommodate her needs. Concerned for her daughter’s safety and emotional well-being, she chose to become her full-time caregiver.

Although she has received some assistance through a Navigator for essentials such as food, clothing, and basic necessities, her inability to work full-time has placed a significant strain on her finances. She is currently relying on contract work with Amazon to support her family.

At this time, financial assistance is urgently needed to help her maintain her car, which is vital for continuing her Amazon work. This support would provide her with the stability she needs to care for her children while working toward a more sustainable, long-term solution for her daughter’s care.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

We have a foster family who took placement of two siblings into their home last night. They are in need of a convertible crib in order to keep both children in their home long term as their current sleeping arrangement options will only suffice for short term placement. In addition, they could benefit from a play pen for the younger child since he is crawling to help them in their day to day. Something like the below link would work but it does not have to be this specific one : Go To Link

Mom has a child on the spectrum, so it is hard to find good day care. She is home with the kids until she can get services. That being the case, a kitchen table will help for the family's meals and for the kids to sit at and do activities. It will help the apartment to feel more like home. ALL THE ITEMS NEEDED ARE AVAILABLE FROM RISE CHURCH CP INVENTORY. NO FURTHER DONATIONS ARE NEEDED.
