A non-relative caregiver has unexpectedly welcomed a 2-year-old girl into their home. This placement came with little notice, and while the caregiver is committed to providing a safe and loving environment, the sudden financial burden has been challenging—especially with three other children already in the household. The family is in need of the following items to help with the transition: A transition crib, crib mattress, and crib bedding. These items are essential to ensure the child has a safe and comfortable place to sleep. Any assistance you can provide would be deeply appreciated and would make a meaningful difference for this family during a time of unexpected change.

We are asking for support of this mother with her visitation of her 10 month old baby. Mother has entered a 90 day residential facility to meet her court ordered case plan for reunification with her baby. Mother is currently indigent. Mother and baby would benefit from having a stroller so the mother can place the child in the stroller to nap and or feed her. Mother is progressing to unmonitored visitation soon, she will need to travel in the community to various pediatrician appointments and other community supports. Mother needs diapers for her child and the amenities that accompany a 10 month old diaper bag.

A single mother had to leave her job due to that organization losing funding and her hours being cut down. The single mother is now working a cleaning business and is a full time student as well to further her education. She hurt her back a couple months ago so she is struggling to work her hours. She currently has 3 of her daughters who are in high school and 3 toddlers/newborns in her house including herself. She is selling some lotion on the side to try to make ends meet. Anything can help.

An elderly woman with serious health conditions in our community is in need of a working electric stove/oven for her home. This can be an older or used appliance as long as it is in good condition and that it works.

A single mother is facing financial hardship and has fallen behind on her rent. She has an 11-year-old son and is striving to get back on track. Her monthly rent is $1,570.00, and she was able to pay $500.00 for May; however, she has incurred late fees totaling $230.00 and is struggling to cover the remaining $1,300.00 that was due for May. As June is now here, she has fallen short again and is seeking assistance to stabilize her housing situation. Any support that can help her bridge this gap and regain stability would be deeply appreciated.

We are requesting support for a resilient young woman living in an independent living placement who is preparing to travel to college this summer. She is in need of new tires for her vehicle—a Hyundai Sonata with 17-inch tires—to ensure she can make the trip safely and continue pursuing her education.This youth has worked incredibly hard to overcome many obstacles and is actively defying the odds often faced by young adults aging out of foster care. She has demonstrated determination, responsibility, and perseverance in reaching her academic goals. Replacing her worn tires will not only support her safety but also affirm her hard work and encourage her continued success.Having reliable transportation is critical as she prepares to begin this next chapter by July 8th. Your support in helping meet this practical need will have a lasting impact on her journey toward independence and a brighter future.
