Story

•
1 Child 1 Adult

I'm working with a mom and her 2-year-old son. She has a few different court fines to pay out of Campbell County and Bedford County. This request is being made to help her get back on her feet, and to move forward. She just got a job, and she is working through services. This would help her meet her goal, and to be able to focus on more time building a relationship with her child.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

🟧 Urgent Help for Single Mother of 3 Facing Homelessness While Caring for Child with Leukemia

Request Details: A single mother of three children (ages 3 to 8) is facing an extremely difficult season. Her 8-year-old son was recently diagnosed with leukemia and is undergoing treatment, which required her to resign from her job in order to care for him full-time.

She is also currently expecting twins (a boy and a girl) and does not have any baby items or support prepared for their arrival. The financial strain of her son’s illness and loss of income has left her unable to pay her rent and utilities, now totaling $2,000, and she is at immediate risk of becoming homeless.

This mother is in urgent need of:

Housing and utility assistance ($2,000 need) Gas cards to travel to and from her son's medical appointments Newborn baby items (clothes, diapers, bottles, blankets, etc.) Your support will provide this family with stability, hope, and relief during an incredibly trying time. Any help is deeply appreciated.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

I’m reaching out on behalf of a single mother of three who is facing an incredibly difficult and urgent situation. Due to an issue within her apartment complex, now resolved, the family was forced to dispose of all their household belongings. This has been especially devastating, as the mother is currently unable to work and has an extremely limited income. Despite her efforts, she is struggling to replace even the most basic furnishings. Her teenage children have taken on part-time jobs to help support the family.

Currently, all four family members are sleeping on air mattresses. This is not a sustainable or healthy situation, particularly for the children, and is affecting their physical and emotional well-being.

To help restore a sense of stability, comfort, and dignity, we are seeking support in securing proper beds. The family needs:

Three twin beds (including frames, mattresses, and box springs) for an elementary-aged child, a high school student, and a 19-year-old

One full/double bed (including frame, mattress, and box spring) for the mother

Any support, whether direct assistance, referrals to partner organizations, or resource guidance—would make a meaningful difference for this family.

Thank you for your compassion and consideration. Please feel free to reach out if more information is needed or if you’d like to discuss ways to assist.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

A caregiver is looking for support in the form of an electric stove. She is the great-aunt and primary caregiver to her two great-nieces, ages 12 and 8, and her nephew, age 10. She has had legal custody of the children since 2020, after they were removed from their mother's care. Since then, she has provided them with a stable, loving, home environment where they feel safe and cared for. Recently, the caregiver’s stove ceased functioning. She has looked for assistance locally and could not find anyone with low or no-cost appliances, so she is making do with a microwave and deep fryer to fix food at this time. She recently had her fridge break also, but was able to find a replacement for this showing her resourcefulness. We are seeking assistance in obtaining a new electric stove (typical size- around 30 inches wide by 25-27 inches deep and 36-41 inches high) to support this caregiver in her ability to provide homecooked meals for her household. Thank you for considering this request and for your continued support of families in need.
