Request: #236206 • Urgency: High • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Tampa • State: Florida • Zip Code: 33647 • County: Hillsborough • Submitted By: Children’s Network of Hillsborough • Lead Church: Idlewild Baptist Church

Story

•
4 Children 1 Adult

The children have been involved with the department since the end of 2024. The children were initially placed in foster care while the department completed the home study for the caregiver. The caregiver has not started receiving funding and is working multiple jobs to meet the needs of the children. This is a big adjustment for the caregiver who has not had children in her home in quite some time and for the children who verbalize that they miss their mother often. The caregiver is active towards providing stability for the children in addition to supporting their familial connections. The caregiver has already explored some community resources to assist with electric assistance, however resources are limited. The caregiver needs electric bill payment assistance in the amount of $603.43.

When the request is met, the caregiver will be able to continue providing for the children’s basic needs.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

After years of working on her sobriety and maintaining a sober lifestyle, a mother and son have the opportunity to reunify! The youth has worked his treatment plan and the mother has continued to maintain a healthy and positive lifestyle to provide for her child. Home passes are beginning this Friday (6/27), but the mother will be making the drive to & from East TN to make this happen. After a couple successful home passes, we will return to court to ask for a trial home visit to begin. Any help with gas would be greatly appreciated by this family.

I have added two requested for cards to this submission. One gas card will be needed for this weekend, June 27th. A second card will be needed for the weekend of July 11th.

Help an Individual with Disabilities Improve their Wellbeing

There is a 30-ish year-old young man living at apartments in Castle Rock. He is paralyzed from the chest down and in a wheelchair. He was granted special permission to be at these apartments even though he doesn't qualify due to his age. He receives food from Help & Hope on a monthly basis when they visit him. His family lives in Elizabeth and has even less money than this young man. It is noted that sometimes he will give his money to his mom/dad so they can eat.

Help & Hope has been going to this gentleman's apartment on Wednesdays when they deliver food to him, and have been making his bed and doing light chores for him.

Looking for a weekly/monthly volunteer(s) who would like to visit this young man and assist with light chores?

Help Reunify a Bio Family

A single mom is requesting assistance with birthday items for her daughter. She has been out of her care for about a year now while she is working on making herself a better mother for her kids. She is making a lot of progress, but has hit some barriers getting a job so she can provide for her birthday. Mom is asking for any financial assistance to be able to get her some items from the dollar store she has been wanting. Things like stick on nails, and coloring books. If this need is met it will help strengthen and grow their relationship.

Help Improve an Adult’s Well-Being

One of the men who attended our Pathway Church services at the Sedgwick County Jail, was recently released from jail. This individual embraced his faith while in jail and consistently attended and participated in the nightly Bible study classes. He has not only been faithful in his own spiritual growth but also actively involved in mentoring and encouraging younger inmates. To help him with his transition, he moved to Ivery House as part of Recovery Hub. With the relationships he has developed, he plans to stay connected with our church community by attending Sunday services and participating in the Thursday night men’s group. By covering the cost of his stay, it will give him a safe and stable place to live as he begins to re-establish himself in the workforce and the community.
