Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

A 15-year-old girl was recently removed from her parents for the second time. Since then, she has already faced more challenges than most her age, including five different placements; one of them out of state. She’s now back in our community and finally beginning to find some stability. It’s been incredible to see her start to settle in and thrive. She has a deep love for the arts and a naturally creative spirit. One thing she’s especially excited about is learning to play the ukulele and enrolling in a class at Flathead Community College. This opportunity wouldn’t just help her grow musically, it would give her a positive, healing outlet and a chance to build meaningful social connections. Music is such a powerful tool for expression and growth, and for her, it’s a step toward joy and recovery. To help make this dream a reality, we’re hoping to get a ukulele so she can begin her classes.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

To whom it may concern, I am making this request in efforts to assist a mother and father who have 7 children. The family was recently placed in motel through Washington County DSS due to unsafe living conditions at their prior residence. The family has since secured stable housing and have moved into a new place; however, they now have limited furniture due to being forced to vacate their prior residence in a hurry. The family has received 6 new twin mattresses for the older children, however they are in need of bunk bed frames to get the mattresses up off the floor. The youngest child is 4 months and has appropriate sleeping arrangements. The family struggles financially and cannot afford to purchase bunk bed frames at this time.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

Children are two boys, ages 11 and 13. One parent is in jail and the other parent is homeless and battling drug use. A family member has taken the children in but the children can use some clothing or gift cards to buy clothing; as they only had the clothes on their backs, and their shoes were too small. Anything will help. Caregiver could also use some help with getting one more bed (twin size).

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

Glocal provides for the physical needs for a new baby to be welcomed through a baby shower. We are currently out of the baby bath sets that include baby shampoo, baby lotion and diaper cream. Many stores sell these as a set or we can use the individual items and gift them to these moms that are usually having their first baby in the US. so far this year, Glocal has given showers or made deliveries to over 40 moms and we have 5 coming up next week. this will support us through the end of the summer.

If you also love baby and women, please reach out and let me know if you would host a shower. We gather the donations but we love for churches to love on these new moms by a small shower. We facilitate it and help with all the details. you provide the food, the friends and the place. thank you!
