The paternal grandmother of the four kids has custody of them now due to their dad being incarcerated and the mother not being able to care for them. She is overwhelmed with managing the four children as well as two of her own older children live at home as well and her elderly mother. They have been struggling with lice for a long time and it seems that no matter how hard they try it never goes away due to difficulty treating all the children at the same time. There never seems to be enough time in the day and the kids don't enjoy having lice treatments. I'm hopeful that someone could take the children into a lice clinic to get professionally treated as she cannot afford it.

CDSS is working with a high needs 16 year old non verbal youth diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Intellectual Disability, and his 13 year old sister. Their parent is a single mother in need a working washing machine- it does not need to be new. This parent has to do an excessive amount of laundry because of sons needs associated to accidents and behaviors. Also a gas card for assistance with transport for therapeutics services would be helpful for this family. Thank you for your consideration!

Mother worked hard to overcome her battle with addiction and is finally being reunified with her 13yr old daughter. She is finally coming back home and could use some furniture. She has a 1-bedroom apartment.

I am reaching out to request assistance in obtaining new twin size mattresses for two foster children in our care. Unfortunately, due to frequent incidents of bedwetting, the current mattresses have developed an unpleasant odor and need thrown away.

We are hoping to ensure a comfortable and healthy sleeping environment for the children. The bed size is twin and one of the children is a female and the other is a male.

Thank you for considering this request. Your support would make a significant difference in their well-being.

Please consider this family. Family of 5 is struggling financially. Dad is the only one who works while mom stays home with children. Children are 6 months, 2- and 6-year-old. Mom is currently going to counseling due to postpartum depression. Family is in need of some diapers size 4 and 4T-5T, wipes and baby girl clothes size 9-12 months. Family speaks Spanish. The family would greatly appreciate the help from the community. Thank you so much in advance.

Newly arrived Special Immigrant Visa holder family of 7 who fled from Afghanistan (US allies) is needing a bunkbed for 4 daughters to settle into a single bedroom in their 2 BR-1BA apartment this week.

Unfortunately, due to limited space in bedroom (needing to fit 2 sets of bunk beds), twin bunk beds will fit better than full bunk beds, so probably not flexible on that aspect of this request.

Depending on the bunk bed frame that you donate, we may or may not need box springs, so I didn't add those explicitly to this request.

Thanks!

We have a youth accepted to Georgia Gwinnett College starting in August. She will definitely need a laptop for school. Although her tuition should be covered by the state through the Independent Living Program (ILP), she will be living on campus and will have to pay her own dorm fees, ($400 per month). She will have a job on campus to try to cover those fees, but is also working now trying to save up for a car. She would greatly appreciate any and all help you could provide to set her up well to succeed at school. Please join us in praying for this youth!

Backpacks & BBQ is an annual outreach event hosted by Middletown Nazarene Church that brings together our church, community, and local partners to support students and families preparing for the school year. We provide free backpacks, serve a full cookout-style meal, and offer a safe, fun, and welcoming environment for children in need in our community.

Each summer, hundreds of neighbors come together at our church for this day of joy and generosity. Children leave ready to start school with confidence and dignity — and families leave knowing they are seen, supported, and loved.

More information about the event can be found here: Go To Link

As part of this event, we want to provide sanitary and hygiene products for the students, so they can go back to school with confidence.

We have a dear NKT family of 6 (mom, grandma, and 4 children) who do not have beds to sleep in nor living room furniture to sit on. We want to bless this family by outfitting their home with these furniture items. We will look for good quality, previously owned items on Facebook Marketplace.

*The twin beds and bedding are for boys, all under 12 years old. *The queen bedding is for grandma/mom. *If box springs are not available, we will purchase mattress/box spring hybrids.

A single mom going through a divorce is trying to become financially independent. She currently makes very little income, and needs assistance to help pay for gas so she can drive her children to school and different activities while she looks for work.
