Support an Expecting Mom and Her Unborn Baby

Young lady in the DCS Bright Futures Program is in need of rental assistance to help carry her over until her unborn child's father gets his first paycheck. She was employed, but due to being 8 months pregnant was let go from her job. She plans to start working again after the baby is born. The baby's father changed jobs & will make enough to pay the rent once it is caught up. They are two months behind on rent. DCS Independent Living Wrap funds are approved to pay 1/2 of the overdue rent, in the amount of $1775. Another community partner has agreed to pay $500. So, this young lady needs $1275 to catch up on her rent. Any help toward the outstanding rent balance would be appreciated.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

A local woman had to take emergency placement of her two nephews from Illinois unexpectedly this weekend. The boys are 3 and 5 years old, and they only came with the clothing on their backs. This is an extremely stressful time for the family, with the additional stress of various serious health concerns for many of the family members.

On top of that, funds from DHHS are depleted and can't help financially support this family to get established in Michigan.

We are asking for a Shell gas card to help with transportation needs, and a Walmart gift card for food and clothing for the boys. Additionally, they need beds.
