Support an Expecting Mom and Her Unborn Baby

Thank you for responding to this request for a 30 year old Single Mother whose husband had been very abusive. They have separated and he has moved on. After 6 months she has now been able to find a house (in supportive housing) She is so happy for the safe housing for her and her 10 month baby girl... We, the Sisters of Life, have know her throughout her pregnancy. For her this will be a real leg up. It has been a long road and a big struggle. She has worked many jobs to get to this point and stayed in many shelters... If these items could be given to her - her sense of a safe home would be complete... she is looking forward to her new more stable job and paying off all the debt she needed to accrue in order to get to this point. Thank you Sr Magdalene

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

This baby 9 month old came into care from the hospital with significant brain damage, likely from shaken baby syndrome. The child's neurosurgeon recommended the "Crawligator" to help the baby with tummy time and help the baby to reach their developmental goals.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

In partnership with the Santee School District, we’re seeking support to help a local student attend summer volleyball camps. The hope is to have the student enrolled in summer volleyball camps to support her social, emotional and behavioral learning over the summer. This student has struggled with attendance due to bullying and social skill development. The student expressed a desire to learn how to play volleyball. They believe by providing her with this opportunity to meet other local teens, learn new skills and have fun this summer she will gain much needed self-esteem and confidence skills that will support her as she transitions to her 8th grade school year. The student currently lives with her grandmother. One parent resides out of state, and the other lives in a different area of San Diego, limiting her support network. Given her circumstances, we are seeking assistance to cover the full cost of enrollment in all three volleyball camps, totaling $600.00. The first camp ($200) begins next week on June 16th, and we are hopeful that with support, we can get her enrolled in time.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

This family we have helped before. She was removed from an abusive home and moved into Covington with her children and has struggled to make ends meet. Her apartment is now asking her to leave, but she has secured a place in Clifton but needs help moving some things to her new place. She has 2 children and has a very hard medical diagnosis that has been keeping her bills high. She will need a truck or trailer to haul some things. I have this valued at $10 because it's not really a monetary need. She has also requested to have someone sit with her to help her work out her financial budget. She is really doing her hardest to take care of her family.
