Three children, currently sleep on air mattresses. The mattresses become deflated often and the children end up on the floor by morning time, disrupting their sleep when they have to be well rested for school. Mother has made attempts to patch the holes and at times has had to purchase new air mattresses as they are more affordable than purchasing and actual mattress and bed. The mother is a single parent and is currently not working as she is trying to stabilize her children's lives. The mother is trying to enroll in school to be able to start a career and get a better job to provide for her children. The mother is looking to go back to work, but she has to find a new location as the father continues to look for the mother and there is a restraining order.

$91.45 for remaining church camp balance Brief description: Caregivers are requesting $91.45 to help cover the remaining balance for her 11-year-old grandson’s Youth Summer Camp with Future SD. As a Kinship caregiver, has taken on the responsibility of providing care and stability for her grandson. The YMCA Kinship Support Program was able to contribute $358.55 toward the total camp cost of $450.00. However, the remaining balance of $91.45 is still a financial challenge for the family. This support would allow her grandson to participate fully in a safe, enriching summer camp experience while also helping Jacqueline maintain financial stability as she continues to meet the needs of her kinship placement.

The request is being submitted due to the family's current economic hardship. The mother serves as the primary caregiver for both the children and the father, who along with managing ongoing medical conditions. As the main provider for the household, the mother is facing increased difficulty meeting the family's needs. The family would greatly benefit from receiving new blankets, bedsheets, and pillowcases, as well as essential medical equipment, including a reverse walker for the father and two children, and a tub transfer bench to support safe bathing. These items will help improve the family's daily functioning and quality of life given their physical challenges.

Family includes 2 parents, a 4 month old baby and a 6 year old boy. Family lives in an RV on the mesa and needs a portable air conditioner or fan. It is extremely hot in the RV and the baby has developed a rash under her chin, on her neck from the heat.

A kinship family recently took placement of their two young grandsons, providing them with the stability and love they desperately need. However, like many relatives who step in during times of crisis, they were not financially prepared for the sudden addition of two growing boys to their household.

At the moment, both children are sharing a single queen bed, which is not a sustainable or comfortable long-term solution. Each child needs their own bed—a space of their own to rest, grow, and feel secure. Separate beds will not only support the children's physical and emotional well-being, but also help preserve the stability of this new family arrangement.

We are seeking two twin mattresses and bed frames to meet this urgent need. Your donation will help ensure this family can remain together in a safe and supportive environment.

If you’re able to donate a new or gently used twin mattress or frame—or contribute financially toward purchasing one—we would be deeply grateful. Your support makes a real difference for children and families in need.

Please reach out if you're able to help—thank you for being part of the village that supports families in transition.

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.

Single mother of two was recently laid off due to her not having childcare. The mother was taken five-year-old child to work with her to continue to make ends meet.
