Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

The family consists of mom and her three children. She works hard to care for them. She has requested assistance with new beds for the two oldest children (twin bed frame + mattress) as well as diapers for the youngest child. The family currently has bunk beds but the mattresses have worn out and the mother has requested two separate beds for the children, rather than bunk beds. DSS is also assisting with putting in referrals for services for the family. Please consider helping this family!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A loving single father is doing his best to care for his young daughter while living on a fixed income through Social Security. As a disabled parent with limited resources and no support from child support, providing for his daughter’s growing needs has become increasingly difficult.

He is currently in need of clothing for his daughter. With each season and growth spurt, the cost of essentials adds up, and right now, he’s struggling to keep up. Providing clothing would not only meet a basic need, but also lift a heavy burden from this dedicated father’s shoulders and bring comfort and dignity to his little girl. Note: All items can be found at Walmart.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

Hello, seeking medical bill assistance for a single mom of two children. The teen daughter needed an orthodontal surgery, and mom has been on a payment plan for this. Unfortunately, last summer mom sustained an injury resulting in multiple reconstruction surgeries of her leg, resulting in losing her job and an extensive recovery. In good news, mom just recently has been able to start confidently driving again, thus is seeking steady employment. This financial request will assist with missed payments for the orthodontist surgery, to alleviate some of the expense stress on the family. If no payments are made by July, the braces will be removed with no retainer due to incomplete treatment, and the bill will be forwarded to collections. If someone is able and willing to help out with this unpaid late bill, that would be a HUGE help to this family.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

Urgent help is needed! Single mom, unemployed, mother of 6. Her home was condemned a year ago and was evicted and forced to move into a hotel with 4 of her children. 2 of her older children live with their grandparents. She lost her job in February and with an eviction on her record and a felony from exceedingly unfair circumstances, she is having difficulty finding a job and finding someplace that will rent to her. She receives no child support from any of the children's fathers and she is barely scraping by. She is currently facing a potential eviction again from the hotel that she and 4 of her children live in. On top of that, the storage unit she had to get for their personal belongings from their home is going to go to auction on July 1st if she can't pay off the debt she is months behind on. The hotel room is too small for most of their belongings and she cannot afford to start over completely. She has a trailer secured in two months time and just needs to be able to hold out until then so she doesn't lose everything. The grandparents have helped as much as they can, but they are living on a shoestring budget as is and do not have room for the mother's household possessions.

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.
