Story

4 Children 1 Adult

We are writing on behalf of a dedicated single mother raising four children, ages 5, 10, and 16. She has maintained long-term, stable employment and recently secured more affordable housing. With great determination, she has been actively supporting her children’s emotional well-being through counseling and trauma-informed care. This summer, the family is in need of a little extra help. The eldest daughter, who is enrolled in advanced summer coursework, is also stepping up to help care for and transport her younger siblings while their mother works. Reliable transportation is essential for both her schooling and caregiving responsibilities. Due to the family’s tight budget—especially with ongoing therapy expenses—the mother is struggling to keep enough gas in the car to support these efforts. Despite these challenges, the family has made remarkable progress toward self-sufficiency and is committed to continuing on this path. We are kindly requesting a gas station gift card to help ease this burden. Any amount would be deeply appreciated and would go a long way in supporting this hardworking family during a critical time. Thank you for your compassion and generosity.

Help Remove an Educational Barrier for a Child

Hi! I am currently working with a family who has two of the sweetest little girls I have ever met. The girls were removed about a year ago due to ongoing concerns of substance usage in the home. The girls are currently with a kinship placement who has been providing for them without the financial support of either parent as they do not contribute much to the kids in terms of their needs. Both girls will be starting at the same school in August and they are in desperate need of all things school and school supplies related (backpack, lunch box, pencils, markers, paper, ext.). One will be going into kindergarten and the other will be going into 2nd grade. I am really hoping to alleviate some stress and help out the placement provide to ensure that the girls have everything they need to start school in August. Any help would be greatly appreciated whether it be through a gift card to allow the girls to pick out what they want or someone who would like to spend some time doing some back to school shopping for the girls. Thank you for all the support and love that you all pour into the families we work with!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

The family consists of a young mother and father. Both parents were extremely proud to be parents of their beautiful little child. This child changed their entire lives for the better, and their entire world revolved around their baby... their lives were just beginning. Recently, the unthinkable happened and these young parents lost their new baby due to a tragic accident. The young family has sustained costs they never imagined and neither are able to work due to planning the ceremony for the loss of their baby. One of the needs the family needs met at this time is the cost of their rent in the amount of $400. It is due on 07/01/25. Please consider meeting this family's need during one of the darkest seasons of their lives. I know the generosity of the community will not be forgotten once they're able to get through the darkness of this terrible time in their lives. Thank you so much for your consideration in meeting this need.

Help Remove an Educational Barrier for a Child

I'm requesting $96 to help a rural, off-grid family pay for a 6-month PO Box rental — a small but vital step that will allow their one school aged child to begin homeschooling.

Without a PO Box, they can’t receive curriculum materials or set up the internet service required for learning. The family lives in a very remote area, and their income is extremely limited. Even a modest expense like this stands in the way of progress.

Your donation will: Cover the cost of the PO Box for 6 months. Enable the family to receive essential mail and supplies. Help their child start a stable and supported homeschool journey.

Even your consideration to this donation is much appreciated!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A courageous mother of three is preparing to move into a home she will one day own through a rent-to-own opportunity, a dream she’s worked hard to make a reality. Over the past few years, we've had the honor of walking alongside her and witnessing powerful moments of growth. She is nearing one year of sobriety, has bravely left a domestic violence situation, and has fought to get the support her children need to thrive. Now, she’s taking the next step toward stability - securing a home where she can plant roots and truly take ownership! However, the home needs a lot of work. Demolition, paint, cabinets, flooring, and more. It’s not move-in ready, and we can’t do this alone. We need the community’s help to turn this space into a safe, welcoming home for her and her children. This is more than just a renovation. It’s a chance to invest in someone who is becoming a leader in her community - someone committed to walking with and supporting other families on their journeys. Let’s come together and help build a strong foundation for this incredible mom and her kids. With your help, we can turn this house into a place of healing, hope, and long-term flourishing!
