Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

$500.00 still needed

Request: #237518 • Urgency: High • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Huntington Beach • State: California • Zip Code: 92646 • County: Orange • Submitted By: Think of Us

Story

1 Child 1 Adult

A dedicated and loving caretaker to her three-year-old daughter, who has Autism and additional medical needs, is facing severe financial hardship as she struggles to cover the cost of childcare. Delays in receiving state-funded childcare assistance have left her with no choice but to consider taking time off work, which has caused her to fall behind on essential bills.

Providing temporary support to cover her utility expenses would allow this single mother to redirect her limited resources toward her daughter’s urgent childcare needs until the state funding comes through. This assistance would be a lifeline for a mom who has been stretched to her limits while ensuring her child receives the care and support she deserves.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A devoted mother is currently caring for her two teenage sons (ages 15 and 16) and her disabled mother. Recently, her only vehicle broke down, and while she was able to cover the costly car repairs and pay her rent, she is now short on funds to pay her water bill. This hardworking mom is doing all she can to keep her household stable and her family cared for, but she needs a helping hand. We are asking for support to help her cover the balance of her water bill so she and her family can maintain access to clean water during this difficult time. Your generosity will not only strengthen this family, it will make a huge difference and bring much-needed relief to their household.

Help Support a Youth Aging Out

A hard working 19-year-old Non-Minor Dependent (NMD) has been employed at the same restaurant for over a year. However, in the last several months, they consistently cut his hours, causing a financial strain. Since then, he has been proactive in his job search to secure a position with more hours, applying at security firms and markets near his house. He attended a job fair recently and completed several applications. His goal is to attend trade school for plumbing. He is studying to get his driver’s license, which he was told he needs to attend the trade school. He has received a debt collection notice after being unaware of an outstanding medical bill from an incident in May 2024, where he went to an urgent care and emergency room while on an out of state trip. After receiving the notice, he called to see if his insurance would cover the expenses but was told that it would not be covered as it was not a life-threatening emergency for which he sought care. This is a responsible young man, and he is very anxious about this debt of $704.99. He is worried it will affect his credit, and his future plans. He cannot afford to pay the bill.
I can provide a copy of the bill and collection notice. Thank you in advance.
