CASA has a case with three boys who were removed from their mom due to homelessness, a lack of food or clothing and mental health concerns with a parent. The boys are living with a kin placement, who is on a limited budget. The oldest boy would love a basketball and to be outside more. The item can be purchased online or in-person and delivered to the CASA office. Thank you for considering this request! Go To Link

This request supports a young mother we previously assisted. Since our last request, her comfort level with receiving support from the network has increased, and she has expressed openness to meeting members of the response team directly! Specifically, Rolling Meadows Neighborhood Church and Memorial Baptist Church were key responders to her previous request and may be interested in officially connecting with this mom. Mom recently got into a car accident and was unable to work for a couple of weeks, causing her to fall behind on rent. She is driving a loaner vehicle while her insurance company assesses her claim/determines whether her vehicle can be salvaged. Rather than rental assistance, she has identified immediate needs that would support her and her one-year-old at this time: size 4 diapers, baby wipes, gas gift card, grocery store gift card (to fill the gap between what she can purchase herself and what she receives at food pantries), sunshade/sun blocker for car windows and at-home baby-proofing supplies, baby toiletries and hair care products, and a Chick-fil-A gift card (her little boy has a healthy appetite and enjoys their food; it is also an easy go-to for her when she is unable to prepare meals herself). The estimated costs encompass the specific brands that meet the needs of a baby's sensitive skin and hair type. I will connect with the church/organization that takes the lead on the request to share specific details!

Please help this single dad of 3 children with a gas card. He is currently working his services to start trial reunification with his children. He does struggle financially due to being on a fixed income. He is needed a gas card to be able to take his daughter to and from therapy. Anything helps. Thank you!

This is a request to purchase two booster car seats and a four point car seat for a kinship family who is taking three children on an emergency basis. This request would be for a Walmart gift card to purchase the seats or if anyone has donations of these car seats, that would be great! This is an uncle who is taking a 5 year old, 4 and a 3 year old. He is working on gathering everything but is struggling to get the car seats. Anything is helpful!

I am currently working with a family of three who are facing financial hardship and are in urgent need of assistance with their utility bills, specifically for water and electricity services. The family is at risk of service disconnection. Household: 1 adult and 1 child and 1 newborn

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.
