Story

•
5 Children 2 Adults

A family of six, one caregiver and five kids, have been displaced. All of her and her children's belongings are in two storage units, which are currently locked and she will lose if she does not make a payment ASAP. Step-mom plans to remove the items from the storage units once payments are made, so this will not be a reoccurring issue. An additional caregiver with employment will also be joining the household shortly. Please help this family not lose their belongings! Thank you.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

Kin provider is a family friend who took in a one year old when his mother needed help. They currently are both unemployed, so finances are tight. They've utilized community resources for a car seat, but the one provided they do not feel is safe. They're really in need of a specific car seat so that kin provider does not worry about the child when transporting him to all his appointments, visits, etc. Any help is so appreciated by this family. Even a giftcard from Amazon to pay for part of this carseat would be so helpful.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

I have a 15yo teen that has recently lost his grandfather and his uncle who was his father figure. He is currently receiving grief support but could benefit from a mentor at the request of his caregivers. He is a very sweet kid who could really benefit from a strong but sensitive male role model. He has expressed interest in church and could benefit from someone who could lead him. He has a 5 yo brother who is autistic and could benefit from a very soft weighted blanket to assist with sensory and sleep.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A young family of 2 children ages 1 and 7 years old are requesting a dryer as they moved into a house from an apartment. The couple have been here from Venezuela for about 2.5 years and help out at Centro Cristiano a Las Naciones with leading music. They moved from an apartment which had a washer and dryer and now they need to provide for their own. The father is looking for work and does odd jobs to help pay for rent, bills, food, clothing, etc. A dryer will help mom take care of her kids so that they will be able to attend school and help their hygiene. Thank you for your help.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A single mother of 5 children missed quite some time from work due to unforeseen behavior issues with her 7-year-old son, who has since been diagnosed with ADHD and ODD. Due to these conditions, her son was not able to stay in school full days and she had to stop working for seven months until she was able to get him approved through his insurance for an in school one-on-one counselor, a smaller classroom setting and also a 504/IEP plan. Now that he has those, she has been able to get another job but won’t get paid until June 30th. She has fallen behind on her rent and several other bills. I am requesting help with the following bills: rent for May $833, she has worked out a payment plan with her landlord for the remaining balance if she can get May’s rent paid; light bill $274 and that is with an approval for cooling assistance from social services which starts on 6/15, her disconnect is for 6/16; water bill $54.37 which also has a disconnect for 6/16. I am also requesting assistance with food and gas money. Mom reached out to her social worker about all these requests, but worker was not able to process her snap application in time for her to receive benefits for June, so she won’t receive any snap benefits until July 4. She also needs money for gas to get to her job.
