A single mother and her one year old son fled an emotional and physically unsafe situation and unfortunately had to leave many of their items behind. The mother has utilized many community resources to gather back the essentials but she has not been able to attain a car seat for her son. This family would greatly benefit from a toddler convertible car seat to ensure the one year old's safety while travelling in a vehicle.

A child was missing and was found and returned to his mother. The mother is in need of a bed for the child.

I am working with a young single mother or a 4-month old baby girl. She has been doing very well for herself and has been utilizing community resources for diapers and formula whenever she can as she has not started receiving the Canada Child Benefit yet and her finances are limited. Her baby girl recently started rolling over and can no longer sleep safely in the bassinet. This young mother is in need of a crib for her little girl. This would increase the baby's safety and decrease her risk or injury from an accidental fall.

Hi all! I have a single mother who is working hard to provide a stable household for her and her two children. Recently, she has moved into a home that was in need of lawncare maintenance but her push mower was stolen from her property. She has also been working to renovate the home due to some structural issues. Without her push mower the lawn has become a bit unmanageable and she is using her extra funds to ensure that the home is stable enough to live in. The momma could benefit from some help making her yard manageable and a push mower of her own to keep the grass cut. Thank you!

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!

Mom has a child on the spectrum, so it is hard to find good day care. She is home with the kids until she can get services. That being the case, a kitchen table will help for the family's meals and for the kids to sit at and do activities. It will help the apartment to feel more like home. ALL THE ITEMS NEEDED ARE AVAILABLE FROM RISE CHURCH CP INVENTORY. NO FURTHER DONATIONS ARE NEEDED.
