Story

•
1 Child

A kinship placement is looking for a bike for a teenager. This would strengthen the family by allowing the teen an opportunity to cope with biking as well as independence for socializing and appointments. A gender neutral or male bike would be preferred. It is okay if the bike is used. It would also be helpful if there was a bike lock, too.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

A single mother of four children had to relocate to a new city for her and her children's safety as a result of domestic violence. Mother has stated that she now has no support in her new city. Mother is currently not employed as she is trying to get acclimated to her a new area, while just delivering her youngest child a few weeks ago. During the social worker's assessment of the family's new home, she observed that the family needed a bassinet for the newborn baby boy and a bunk bed set for the other three children to sleep on.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

A Pathway member has recently started walking with a young woman who is 5 months pregnant and plans to keep her daughter when she is born. Her boyfriend is the dad of the unborn baby and he was the sole provider before recently being incarcerated. Mom is currently staying in a motel. To make the amount she needs for rent daily she has been doing online surveys and selling apparel / house ware things on Facebook marketplace.

She doesn’t currently have any support system. She has applied for jobs but being 5 months pregnant hasn’t been hired. She does not have a car which makes it hard to apply anywhere far away from the motel.

The Pathway member is connecting mom to more long-term resources but, in the meantime would like to ensure that mom is housed for an additional two weeks until the longer-term resources can be arranged.

Please pray for and help this pregnant mom stay housed til other resources are available. Thank you!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I am reaching out on behalf of a mother and her two young children, ages 2 and 4, who are in need of your support.

After spending a significant amount of time residing in a shelter for their safety and protection, this resilient family has recently secured permanent housing. This new chapter brings immense hope, stability, and the opportunity to build a safe and nurturing home—but they need our help to truly make it feel like home.

At this time, the family is in need of a twin trundle bed with two mattresses for the children. Providing proper sleeping arrangements is not simply a matter of comfort—it is essential for the children’s physical health, emotional security, and overall development. A bed offers more than just a place to sleep; it represents stability, routine, and safety. It helps reduce the risk of accidents and health issues, promotes healthy sleep patterns, and creates a secure space where the children can feel safe and cared for.

Your support will not only furnish a home—it will provide a sense of normalcy, dignity, and care that every child deserves. By helping this family with beds, you are investing in the well-being and future of two young children and supporting a mother who is doing everything in her power to create a safe, loving home.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I am reaching out to you on behalf of a mother and her 1-year-old son. This mother recently achieved reunification with her son last year—a beautiful milestone that came after months of hard work, personal growth, and unwavering dedication. She completed every program required of her and continues to show resilience and a deep commitment to creating a safe, loving, and stable life for her child.

Today, she is working full-time and actively building healthy connections within the community. However, like so many families, she is facing the challenges of rising living costs and needs a little extra support to ensure her son has what he needs.

With summer approaching, this mother is in need of size 2T summer clothing for her son. Your support will ease her burden and ensure her child is ready for the season ahead with the essentials every child deserves.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I am reaching out today on behalf of a resilient mother and her two young children, ages 5 and 2, who are working hard to build a brighter future together. This dedicated mother has been making significant progress toward her case plan goals and is committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and stable environment for her children. As she continues on this path, she is in need of support from our caring community.

One of the family’s most urgent needs at this time is securing one toddler bed and one twin bed, along with mattresses, bedding, and pillows. Right now, the lack of proper sleeping arrangements is a significant stressor, and addressing this need would be a tremendous step forward in creating a safe and comforting home environment.

Having appropriate beds for her children will not only promote physical safety—ensuring the children are not sleeping on unsafe or unsuitable surfaces—but will also support their emotional and developmental well-being. A consistent, comfortable place to rest helps children feel secure and loved. It also supports healthy sleep habits, which are critical for their growth, learning, and behavior.

By helping provide these essential items, we are empowering this mother to focus on her continued progress, strengthening family stability, and most importantly, ensuring her children can rest peacefully each night in a space of their own.

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!
