A 16 year old male is involved with the Children's Division due to severe substance abuse by his parent. The young man has experienced one trauma after another. He is currently living with a relative and sleeping on a twin bed that his feet hang off of because he is a tall young man. The family is asking for a complete queen bed so he will be more comfortable.

I can help with this request! We can provide the mattress, frame, and box spring (if needed based on frame) but need a church local to the client to pick it up at our facility and deliver/set up for client. Thanks!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

The client is a 36-year-old woman currently experiencing multiple acute stressors. She recently endured a miscarriage, followed shortly by the loss of her employment. Despite these significant challenges, the client remains committed to continuing their engagement in services. The client is currently facing imminent eviction and lacks stable housing. She lacks both familial and social support. Additionally, financial hardship has led to the loss of her vehicle, limiting her ability to attend medical appointments and pursue employment opportunities. The client has expressed a desire to secure employment and maintain her medical care; however, she is currently unable to meet these goals due to limited access to essential resources such as transportation and internet connectivity. The client is behind in payment for her utility bills: cable/internet ($321.91), phone ($222.20) and electricity ($118.09). CarePortal's support can make a significant difference in the client's ability to access services that will help her manage stress and gain the support she needs to move forward. *NOTE: "This request is being submitted by the Center for Family Services of Palm Beach County on behalf of the client. Due to policies for accreditation, we are asking that churches that are willing to serve this client please meet the client at the facility. We are located at 4101 Parker Avenue, West Palm Beach, 33405. Beforehand, we thank you for your willingness and commitment to serve our community."

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

Children have been taken care of by paternal grandmother. They live with cousins as well and have no furniture. She is asking for two sets of twin bunk beds, one twin bed, two full sized beds, and a sleeper couch for her to sleep on as well. I observed home with only three lawn chairs in living room and two mattresses in one of the bedrooms and some toys, but no other furniture.

Children do not have beds and have a small space for how many people are living in home.

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.
