4 Children 2 Adults

The children were placed with their grandparents in March 2025. The family didn't anticipate the demand this would place of the family budget and is struggling to pay for all the children's expenses and maintain the normal household monthly expenses. The family is asking for a one-time mortgage payment which will allow them to reallocate money in the household budget to smaller expenses related to the children such as food, shoes, summer activities, etc. They also welcome even a portion of this payment as any little bit will go a long way for the family.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A mother of three children under the age of 5 is facing an urgent crisis. She has been unemployed since April and, despite her best efforts, all financial resources have been completely exhausted. Her June rent of $1,100 is past due, and she is in immediate need to avoid homelessness for her and her children. She is not giving up, she has secured a new job and will begin work on Monday, June 16th, but her first paycheck will not arrive in time to cover this critical need. The apartment manager is giving her until next week to pay her rent, but if she can’t, her and her 3 young kids will be evicted and will be on the street. We are asking for urgent help to keep this mom and her young kids in their apartment and not become homeless. In addition to rent, she also needs assistance with diapers, as well as gas to get her to and from her new job. Any amount will help and is appreciated. Please consider donating and giving this mom time to start her new job so she can provide safety and stability for her children again. Please select “FUND” when giving a cash donation and select "Provide" when donating an item.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

This family we have helped before. She was removed from an abusive home and moved into Covington with her children and has struggled to make ends meet. Her apartment is now asking her to leave, but she has secured a place in Clifton but needs help moving some things to her new place. She has 2 children and has a very hard medical diagnosis that has been keeping her bills high. She will need a truck or trailer to haul some things. I have this valued at $10 because it's not really a monetary need. She has also requested to have someone sit with her to help her work out her financial budget. She is really doing her hardest to take care of her family.
