Story

•
1 Child

Dawson County is working with an 11-year old youth who just entered foster care. He has not experienced three placements in a short period of time, and came from a place of little to no supervision or oversight, with substantial neglect. This kiddo stole another youth's Air Jordans as he was leaving the previous placement. We have since intercepted the shoes to return them to their rightful owner, but the team believes it would be gesture of goodwill and show this child that all he needs to do is reach out and ask, rather than to take. He has not had nice things, and being in foster care is a stigmatizing experience. We would love to be able to give this kid a pair of Nikes of his own, but do not have the ability to do so. The shoes were Nike Air Jordan Comfort Low. I can share more specifics about the shoes if someone is able to help make this middle schooler's shoe dreams come true!

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

There is a limited income family that needs storage for their medications to prevent one of their children from finding and getting into the medication. They would benefit from a medication lockbox. This would help to keep the child safe by preventing access to medications. One was found online at the following link. Go To Link

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A parent here at the Mission needs underwear and bras, and we don't have any of these items in her size. Her two children also need summer clothing and shoes.

This family has been with us for a few weeks, and the items they brought in with them need to be discarded. We believe that every single person has sacred value, and we do all we can to preserve the dignity of the clients at the Mission. A key way we preserve their dignity is to give them the essential items they need.

The parent wears size M in ladies' underwear. Her bra size is 32A. We never receive this size when we get donations.

The children's sizes are as follows: *5t for girl's pants, shirts , dresses, and shorts. *7/8 for boy's pants and shirts. *Girl size 8 in shoes. *Boy size 2 in shoes.

We have requested clothing from Note in the Pocket for another family, and it took a month to get the items delivered. Our hope is this request will ensure this family has their essentials much more quickly.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A previous mom we helped some time ago has stated the bed we gave is now worn. A photo was provided to show that. She would appreciate a twin bed for her son (mattress and box springs and rails, or platform frame) and a comforter. This will help her son to get the sleep he needs to be healthy and feel secure.

PLEASE NOTE: RISE CHURCH CAN MEET THIS NEED WITH A BED WE ALREADY HAVE IN OUR INVENTORY. NO FURTHER DONATIONS ARE NEEDED.
