Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

62254307-A devoted aunt has once again opened her heart and home to her sister’s five children—ages 3 to 14—and is now their full-time caregiver. This is the fourth time she has taken in the children, and while she is committed to keeping them safe and together, this most recent placement was completely unexpected.

She is not receiving any support from government assistance programs and is doing everything she can to provide for the children on her own. The need is immediate and significant.

Family Needs:

Clothing for all 5 children (varied sizes)

Grocery

Pull-ups and baby wipes

One of the children is autistic and still in diapers; the aunt is working to potty-train him in preparation for school.

She is determined to keep the children out of the foster care system and provide them with the love and stability they deserve—but she needs a little help from the community. Gift cards (Walmart, Target, grocery stores, or children's clothing stores) Pull-ups, wipes, or grocery staples

This aunt is not asking for much—just a helping hand during a hard time. Every bit of support makes a big difference.

🙏 Thank you for showing love in action. Together, we can make sure these children stay in a loving home.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

I'm reaching out on behalf of a devoted aunt who has had custody of her 3-year-old niece and 12-year-old nephew since 2021. She stepped up to care for them with the help of her mother, but sadly, her mother has recently passed away. Now, she’s managing everything on her own without that critical support system. She’s currently facing a serious issue with her home: the air ducts are clogged, which is not only preventing cool air from circulating but also causing damage to her ceiling. With summer temperatures rising, this is a health and safety concern for her and the children — especially the toddler. A repair professional has quoted $350 to fix the air ducts. Unfortunately, she does not have the funds to cover the cost at this time. Any help — financial, referrals to local resources, or sharing this request — would mean the world to her and the kids. Thank you so much for your compassion and support

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A single mom raising three children is in need of one large or two sm-med window unit air conditioners. After months of reaching out to her landlord she has finally been told that the central a/c will not be repaired and it is her responsibility to provide window units. She is currently unemployed and struggling with food security so purchasing these units is not feasible for her.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

A family from Lincoln got a notice from the Health Department last week that their rental is being condemned due to lead poisoning. They will be moving out tomorrow and searching for another rental. The family needs some time to be able to find a home that fits their budget and time to be able to strengthen the health of their kids who have been impacted by the lead. We are hoping to provide the family with a one week hotel stay, some giftcards for meals and homecook meals while they are without a kitchen. This family is naturally on top of things; however, this has a large impact on them. What a great way to show and share the love of Jesus with them by stepping in.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

This request is for a single mom who has four children- 11 years, 7 years, 1 year, & 2 months. She has no transportation, so she is walking the family everywhere. Given the ages of the children, they all have to go out together. The double stroller is for the 1 year-old and the baby, to make outings more feasible and safe. The donation can be new or gently used. You can drop the stroller off at Woodstock City Church or at Children's Haven, whichever is more convenient.

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

A local family in need has been identified by our church. She lost her job and is trying to sell her house because otherwise she is going to lose it. This is one of those situations where circumstances have snowballed into a big mess. She's trying to get back on her feet, but the burden is heavy and discouraging. She needs a hand up. They have food for today and tomorrow. We would like to offer assistance with alleviating some of the bills that are piling up and helping the family to secure quality food options.

We are seeking the funds to pay their electricity bill so that the power can remain on, the phone bill so that she can maintain contact with their realtor as they try to sell the house, and funds for a grocery gift card.
