Story

•
1 Child 1 Adult

The father has been working to find stable housing for him and his son but it’s been difficult. The family is originally from Texas so they have no family support in the Los Angeles area. The father can only work a job where he can take his son with him, such as lyft and Instacart to deliver food, as the shelter does not allow him to leave his son home alone at the shelter. The father and child are both in therapy services individually and need to work on family therapy as there is child/parent conflicts as the child struggles with moving from shelter to shelter and not having a mother figure in his life. The mother abandoned the child when he was a baby and the father has been caring from him alone since then. The father and child both acknowledge that they need to work on how to address the issues in their relationship. The family is in need of financial support they need clothing for the father and his son. The father is asking if someone can assist him in obtaining clothing for him and for his 12 year old son. His son is outgrowing his clothes and shoes. They continue to reside in the shelter.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

This young man is a junior in high school. The student lives between his parents house and grandparents house. His grandmother has been experiencing some health challenges since that end of last year and this has taken a noticeable on this young man. The added cost of medical expenses for grandmother has left nothing to go towards extra curricular activities. As a result the student has begun to sell snack items at school to help support himself. This young man would benefit greatly by attending summer camp and be encouraged in his pursuit of high school graduation. This opportunity would be a light at the end of a very dark for this young man and serve as a reminder that hard work pays off not just in the future but now.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

This request is on behalf of a 17 year old high school student. This student is the oldest of 4 siblings and currently lives with their mother and father. The mother is not involved in the student's life and leaves the majority of the day to day responsibility to the father to care for and provide for the student and his younger siblings. Student does well in school and has been prioritizing his grades and school work. The student has expressed interest in going to summer camp but does not have the funds to attend. Attending summer camp would give the student much needed encouragement to continue to work hard towards his future goal of playing football at the college level.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

I am submitting this request on behalf of a high school female with special needs. The family recently moved from out of state and was staying at a local shelter before being placed in permanent housing. The family consist of mother, father and 4 children. All the children have varying disabilities. Currently mother is the only income earner for the family. This young lady would greatly benefit from attending summer camp where she can participate in age appropriate activities with her peers and get specialized support from a camp counselor. This will also allow for the mother and father to have a reprieve while they attend to the needs of the other children.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

This is a single mother with a 3-year-old daughter who is currently searching for permanent housing. Although she is not employed at the moment, she is hopeful about finding a job soon, as she has been fully focused on her situation. The mother has a limited income and needs clothing and shoes for her daughter, or a gift card to purchase these items. Her daughter wears clothing size 4 toddler and a shoe size 7 toddler. Having these essentials would greatly assist her, allowing the mother to concentrate on securing a job to provide for her family.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

This request is on behalf of a 17 year old male high school student. December 2024 the student was hospitalized for mental health issues. Student was released into his mother's custody 4 days after being admitted to the hospital. Once at home student was met with mixed reactions about the experience from various family members and was told that he was weak and needed to toughen up. Despite the lack of moral support the student has began to make progress in the right direction with the help of weekly therapy sessions and mentoring from the youth pastor at Crenshaw Christian Center. Attending summer camp would give this student a much needed break from his home life and an opportunity to find much needed support and encouragement among his peers. This young man has attended various college tours and wants to pursue occupational therapy upon high school graduation.
