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

An RFA caretaker for a three-year-old with special needs is struggling to afford childcare and has put her behind on her bills. In fact, her updated RFA funding has been delayed due to circumstances outside her control and has left her with very little funding and she is not getting the help she needs. As a result, last week she had to take off work because she could not afford a babysitter so now she is losing any income and may need to take off work this weekend as well. If we could temporarily assist her in paying her utility bills, this will allow her to take care of these extra childcare costs until she gets the proper funding from RFA. This would be a huge help to this single-parent family and she is grateful for any support she can get.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A grandmother is caring for her grandchildren while her son is incarcerated. The parents’ absence has placed an emotional and financial strain on the household. I am requesting assistance for a family facing financial hardship and is behind on her electric bill. Providing support for this urgent need would help relieve some of the burden they are carrying and allow them to focus on caring for the children. Any assistance you can provide toward covering this utility bill would be a tremendous blessing and a critical step in helping this family remain safe, warm, and connected during this difficult season

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.

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.
