Story

•
1 Child 2 Adults

A devoted caregiver is in urgent need of support as she prepares to relocate her family during an incredibly difficult time. Her husband is battling multiple serious health conditions, including COPD, kidney cancer, and pancreatic cancer. With rising costs and a fixed income, the family has made the difficult decision to move into a more affordable apartment closer to loved ones, where they can receive the help they need. Unfortunately, the moving expenses are overwhelming. The moving company has quoted $2,050.00, and breaking their current lease will cost an additional $4,000. While the new apartment will significantly ease their financial burden long term, they need help getting there. The family’s income consists of Social Security, SSI, and Child Only–OWF benefits. They have reached out to local resources like PRC and Jewish Family Services—who have helped with groceries and gas—but financial support for the move has not been secured. The caregiver has taken steps to ensure her husband receives proper care, including signing him up for Meals on Wheels, and her son is stepping in to help as well. This family is doing all they can, but they can’t do it alone. Support with moving expenses would provide critical relief and stability during an already overwhelming time.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

A devoted mother of four is living in a hotel with her children, doing everything she can to keep them safe and sheltered. She works hard, cleaning homes to provide for her family. However, this week, a client canceled due to a family tragedy, leaving her $150 short for their weekly hotel stay. Despite her efforts to make the money, time is running out. She’s not asking for much—just a little help to get through this challenging moment. Your support could make the difference between stability and uncertainty for her and her children.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

We have a mother who is 35 weeks pregnant and, unfortunately, has no furniture in her home. Her children have been forced to sleep on the floor for quite a while, which is far from ideal for their well-being. Every child deserves the comfort and safety of a bed, especially in these challenging times. We kindly ask for your generosity—any donations of beds would make a world of difference for this family. Thank you for your support!.

Request: Support for Foster Family Temporarily Caring for Two Young Nieces

A generous foster family has recently stepped up to care for their two young nieces—ages 2 and 3—while their parents are navigating a medical crisis with a new baby in the hospital. This family is already providing love and stability through foster care, and this unexpected addition has stretched their resources even more.

We’re hoping to rally some support to help them care for these little ones during this time. Here are a few specific needs that would be a huge blessing:

🧸 Fun Activities

Paw Patrol or animal-themed toys, books, or quiet activities (great for keeping the girls busy during hospital visits)

🩳 Clothing Needs

Size 3T pajamas for both girls

🧼 Essentials

Size 4 diapers

Swim diapers

Baby wipes

Truly, any amount of help is appreciated. This family didn’t hesitate to say “yes” when their nieces needed them, and now we have a chance to say “yes” to them. Thank you for considering how you might help meet these needs with love and generosity!

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

A local family in need has been identified by our church. She lost her job and is trying to sell her house because otherwise she is going to lose it. This is one of those situations where circumstances have snowballed into a big mess. She's trying to get back on her feet, but the burden is heavy and discouraging. She needs a hand up. They have food for today and tomorrow. We would like to offer assistance with alleviating some of the bills that are piling up and helping the family to secure quality food options.

We are seeking the funds to pay their electricity bill so that the power can remain on, the phone bill so that she can maintain contact with their realtor as they try to sell the house, and funds for a grocery gift card.

Hey BC fam! We have a foster family in our church that has welcomed newborn twins into their home and is in urgent need of formula support. The babies consume one $40 can per day. The family is asking for $1,200 over the next 4 weeks as WIC will cover the cost after that. Your generosity will help provide essential nourishment during this critical time. Thank you for loving our families well and we know you will continue to do so. The family is grateful for anything!!!

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

Hey team, we have a family in our church that serves as a foster family. The birth mom for the child is in need of a convertible car seat so they can have the child for visitation. This would meet a huge need for this mom and child and serve the foster family as well. If you happen to have one in good condition that you could give her that is great or here is an option if you would be available and willing to purchase one. You can just get it to me and I'll make sure the foster family gets it. Thanks so much team.
