A single mom to son is trying to get back into the swing of a "normal" day-to-day life after unexpectedly suffering from the loss of her other child. Mom is trying to find a job and is working on getting unemployment until she is able to find work. However, she is needing assistance with paying for gas and is looking for gas vouchers to take her son to his doctor and therapy appointments, school, and church.

I am working with a teenager who's foster placement was recently disrupted due to the foster parents getting divorced. The teenager is currently in a respite location but does not have all of her belongings including underwear, pajamas, and school-appropriate attire. There have been several meetings between myself and the foster family to retrieve items, however the youth still indicates she is missing many of her clothing items. I am request giftcards to take the youth shopping to get her provisions needed for her day-to-day life while staying at the respite while other foster options are looked into and investigated. Giftcards to anywhere would be great (Walmart, Old Navy, Target, Visa, etc.)

The caregiver’s have recently moved in to a larger home in order to take placement of a new born in addition to their other three children. The family is extremely involved in the community and constantly giving back to others when they can. They are in need of assistance with getting their things out of storage and some resource items for the home. They are two months behind on the storage unit bill. They need $750 to get their possessions out of storage before they go to auction on the 24th of June. The family would also need assistance to rent a U-Haul or truck to transport their things. They would also be extremely grateful for a full-size bed to include mattress, frame, comforter, sheets, pillows and pillowcases, 2 twin mattresses as well as comforters, sheets, and pillowcases for both, 2 dressers of any kind and lastly a sofa set or sectional couch.

When the request is met, the caregivers will be able to settle into their new home comfortably. Every child would have their own bed, and the family would not lose their possessions that are currently in storage. Additionally, the caregivers will be able to organize and properly store the babies clothing as they have received multiple donations of baby boy clothes.

Hello,

Parents of 3 children are working hard to have their children reunified in their home. However, they have fallen behind on some utility bills. They need $500.00 to pay their electricity bill. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Foster parents of 7 (all are part of two sibling sets) are helping out by driving four of the children to family time with their parents. A gas card would be a big support for these foster parents and the children they care for.

Young Mother of 1 is currently staying with Grandmother due to being estranged from husband. She left with little and needing help getting back on her feet. Both her and Grandma have limited income. This will help provide groceries, gas, and baby needs while mother looks for fulltime employment

We are supporting a single mother who has recently reunited with her children with weekly meals and a prayer team. She has requested assistance with her utility bill to get caught up. If you are able to help strengthen this bio family with financial contributions, we will contact you to log on to the City of Monroe website to pay the bill directly.

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!

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!

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
