Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

We are reaching out to request support in securing a full-service moving company – including packing, loading, transportation, and unloading for a devoted grandmother residing in Los Angeles, who is the legal guardian of her four grandsons. She has recently been awarded a Section 8 housing voucher, which represents a vital opportunity for her family to relocate to a home that offers a safe, stable, and nurturing environment.

This move marks a significant step forward in achieving long-term housing security for the family. After years of tireless effort to keep her grandsons safe and together, this grandmother now faces the physical and financial challenges of relocating. Assistance with professional moving services would ease this transition and ensure the process is handled with dignity and care.

Your help would directly impact this family by providing a smooth transition to their new home and giving the grandmother the peace of mind she so greatly deserves.

We have identified and obtained quotes from two reputable moving companies in the Los Angeles area: 1. Westcoast Movers: Cristine(###) ###-####, Quote: $749.00 for 4 movers and 1 truck (flat rate) 2. 4 US Moving Company: Nate(###) ###-#### Quote: $189/hour for 3 movers and 1 truck, a $50 service fee (3-hour minimum); pricing negotiable

Both companies offer full-service support, including packing, heavy lifting, and in-home services, and have been verified for safety, insurance, and reliability.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

I am working with a client who lost his partner to cancer back in March of this year. They have 3 children together and he has had to make ends meet while still grieving. His three kiddos are precious and they seem to be doing okay under the circumstances. This request is for dad as he secured a third shift job to support his family, but he is needing some gas money to get him to work until his first paycheck on 7/3.

He does get food stamps and other benefits to help them with their other important needs, but financially fell into a temporary hole having to fix his car, which is thankfully is now working!

Dad stated his car gets great gas mileage and $50 would get him through to July 3. Anything is greatly appreciated!

Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

We have a young 17-year-old client who has a chance to participate in Bible Camp this summer, but caregivers are unable to provide the funding for it. We are looking to get funding as soon as possible due to how quickly the camp spots are filling. Caregivers report they hope to have him participate in this camp as they also would benefit from the respite it will provide, and they want to preserve placement.

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.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

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. Thank you for loving our families well and we know you will continue to do so. The family is grateful for anything!!!

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.
