🚨 URGENT: Help a Single Father and His Two Children Get Back on Their Feet 🚐💔 Right now, a devoted single father and his two young children are living out of their van—the only shelter they have. This van isn’t just their home. It’s also the father’s only way to work and provide for his family.

But now, even that’s been taken away.

The van has broken down with a failed transmission. Without it, he can’t work, they can’t travel, and hope is slipping away fast. What this family needs right now is help—and hope.

How You Can Make a Difference: We’re raising emergency funds to:

🚗 Replace the van’s transmission so Dad can get back to work 🥫 Provide groceries and essentials for the kids 🏠 Support this family as they work toward stable housing Every dollar brings this father one step closer to getting his kids out of a van and into safety.

No donation is too small—and sharing this story matters just as much. Please give what you can and spread the word.

They need us right now. Let’s show them they’re not alone.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

The parents of this 6 month old child are requesting assistance in purchasing formula, diapers and wipes for the child. The child was born premature and has recently been using more formula(almost a can a day) as she is developing well. The family includes other children and due to medical concerns for this child, the mother is staying home to care for the child and get her to her necessary appointments. The father is employed full time and provides for the family financially, but the family still requests help with purchasing some items, due to limited income. These items will help sustain and improve the child's health and well-being and they are essential for her growth/development. The following items are requested: -Enfamil NeuroPro EnfaCare Formula(blue can) -Pampers-Size 2 -Baby Wipes-Parents Choice(any fragrance)

Help a Senior Improve their Wellbeing

As you may be aware, Dave Petke is in the hospital with a UTI and blood pressure problems. Sharon is not able to be at the hospital all the time, it wears her out and her health is not good enough for her to be there with him all the time. She’s tried just calling to check in, this morning she sat on hold for 45 minutes and had to call back three times before she finally got someone to answer. Someone is needed this week to sit with Dave each day between the hours of 8am-12pm to give Sharon time to get ready and get over there each day to be with him. Please do not share this need beyond our church family. You will be contacted with specifics of where to go when you select your day. Thank you!

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

I am working with a awesome, hard working Single mom that does amazing work helping others in the community is now facing some hardships. She and her family attended, participated wholeheartedly and graduated from our 14-week Strengthening Family Program and has been an outspoken advocate for family wellness. She was recently put in a very hard situation and received news that her landlord is selling her home expectantly, and she was put in a time crunch and after searching and searching for a new place she found one and has to come up with a deposit of $1000 to hold the unit. After talking with the new homeowner, he stated she could allow her to pay $500 by Monday 6/9/25 and the other $500 by Friday 6/13/25. If you can help, please be a blessing to this mom, please, she has helped so many families in her line of work, and she has just paid her rent where she is currently living and does not have the money for her deposit. If you could please help her so she and her children are not put out on the street, and can move into their new home. Anything you can donate would be a great help. Thank you!

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

One of our newly arrived families has moved into apartments that have no air conditioning and the family has no fans. We all know how hot it gets and the adults and the children can get overheated. If anyone can provide a free standing or window air conditioner or a couple fans, that would be wonderful. Thank you

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

I am reaching out on behalf of one of our Children’s Church students who is currently in foster care. Her mother has recently secured employment and is in the process of transitioning to a new home. While this is a positive step forward for their family, it has also placed a significant financial strain on them. Due to these circumstances, the family is unable to afford the registration fee for summer camp. However, we strongly believe that this child would greatly benefit from the experience—emotionally, socially, and spiritually. Camp would provide her with a safe, uplifting environment and a chance to grow in confidence and faith during a time of major life change. We are asking for help to cover the cost of her camp registration. Your support would make a meaningful difference in her life. Thank you for considering this request.
