Story

4 Children 1 Adult

Single mother of four kids is seeking help with moving belongings from a storage unit right outside of Buena Vista and to income based apartment in Lexington. This family had to be out of their home on May 31, 2025 and are currently living in a shelter until they could move into the income-based apartment. The apartment is now ready for them to move into but need help with heavy lifting and moving items from a storage unit to their apartment. Receiving this help would help a single mom and her children find peace as they are getting away from a situation and able to get out of the shelter and settled into their new home. This family needs help from people with trucks, trailers and able to do heavy lifting and possibly even putting bed frames back together. This family is looking for help ASAP and a Saturday is possible. The family is hopeful this could happen this Saturday, June 7th, but is open to other dates. I put this under a cleaning service as there was no other available option to fit this need, but this would not entail cleaning or putting away their belongings, only hauling/lifting heavy items to their apartment from the storage unit. The family is hoping for volunteers from local groups/churches to fill this need.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

We are seeking support for a family of three—a single father and his two children—who are in need of a carpet cleaner to help maintain a clean and healthy living environment. The father is working hard to care for his children and provide stability, but with limited resources and time, deep cleaning tasks like carpet care have become a challenge.

Providing a carpet cleaner—either as a donation or on loan—will make a meaningful impact in helping this family maintain their home, contributing to a more stable and nurturing environment for the children. This practical support will not only ease the father’s burden but also help strengthen the placement and long-term well-being of the family.

Need:

A functioning carpet cleaner (new)

Optional: cleaning solution or accessories if available

Please reach out if you're able to help support this family.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity in helping keep this family together and thriving!

Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

Hope’s Promise is requesting financial assistance in purchasing Xfinity home security system setup for a year for a foster mom of three foster preteens. She also has two biological children in her home. This implication of home security would ensure felt safety and protection for the foster children and family unit as cameras placed around the home would positively impact peace of mind and increased security in the foster home. There are current significant safety concerns that are impacting their ability to feel safe coming and going due to a person involved in one of the cases for one of the foster youth knowing where the youth lives and following that youth. The foster mom is unsure they can maintain placement without safety concerns being mitigated and addressed for the family unit, and this would be a step in the right direction for them to have safety mechanisms put into place.

She is looking at the Base Home System with a one-time payment of $360. Great for smaller homes with 1-2 entrances. • Xfinity Home app, simple home control • 1 touchscreen controller • 3 door/window sensors • 1 pet-friendly motion sensor* • Battery + cellular system backup • Xfinity Home Security yard sign

Help Make a Kinship Placement

The referred family is requesting assistance obtaining a stroller, dresser, and sway swing for the child. The child was placed with maternal Grand Father and his partner. Foster family is a single income household. MGF supports his wife, and young son, as well as supporting the needs of the 6-week old foster child. RFA license is pending. MGF and his wife are new foster parents and are tackling many of the foster child’s needs that come up. However, the family needs assistance in accessing a stroller, a dresser drawer, and a sway swing. Mother and father struggle with substance abuse, domestic violence, unaddressed mental health issues, and homelessness. These barriers led to the Department detaining the newborn baby from parents due to neglect. The family would appreciate any help and want to explore all the options to make their child as comfortable as possible at home.

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.
