Story

•
5 Children 4 Adults

The family lives in a two -story house and have been having trouble ensuring that the children leave their windows closed on the second floor. This family has one adult income due to medical reasons that have prevented them from working at this time. There are 5 children in the home. The family is in need of 2 window alarms and one twin sized mattress with neutral bedding for either boy or girl. Some of the children have medical diagnoses that window alarms could help prevent the children leaving the home or hurting themselves. The window alarms will alert the mom in the event a child tries to open a window. This would help provide safety and necessary sleeping arrangements for the children. When this need is met, the children will recognize that opening windows on second story of the home is unsafe.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

We are requesting support for a hardworking single mother who is doing everything she can to rebuild stability for herself and her young child. After experiencing a period of homelessness in which they lost all of their belongings, the family has recently secured housing with the help of a local women’s shelter. While this has been a major and hopeful step forward, the home remains largely unfurnished, and many daily essentials are still missing. Although the mother works full-time and has reached out to various local and community agencies, her income is stretched thin just covering basic living expenses. She simply does not have the financial means to purchase the household items that would make their space truly livable and comfortable. This family would greatly benefit from assistance with the following items: a dresser for the baby’s room, a stackable washer and dryer, rugs for each room (three total), a dresser for the master bedroom, a TV for the living room, a toy bin organizer for the baby’s room, bathroom shelving or storage, a coffee table and end table, a vacuum cleaner, a new or gently used couch (as the current one is broken), a blender, and a set of pots, pans, baking dishes, and drinking glasses.

Your support in meeting these needs would make a significant difference in this family’s day-to-day life, bringing comfort, functionality, and dignity into their home as they continue to move forward.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

We are reaching out on behalf of a family currently facing a difficult and uncomfortable situation. A devoted grandmother, along with her elderly mother, is raising four children and doing her best to provide a safe, nurturing home.

Unfortunately, their air conditioning went out about a week ago, and with the Florida heat intensifying, this has become an urgent concern. The heat poses serious discomfort and even health risks, particularly for young children and seniors. Restoring the AC is now their top priority to ensure the well-being of everyone in the household.

This family has shown incredible strength and dedication, and we’d love to come alongside them during this time. If anyone in our CarePortal network can assist—whether through repair services, donations, or helpful referrals—it would mean so much to this family.

Thank you for being a part of this compassionate community. Your continued support truly changes lives. Please reach out if you’re able to help or would like more details.
