Story

•
4 Children 1 Adult

The Families Together program at Christian Heritage has received a help request from a single mom with 4 younger kids. The mom is working for one of the local schools as a paraeducator. Because of a paperwork snafu on her employers part and her disability has been impacted. The disability is being straightened out, but that process takes so much time. Because of the impact on the disability, this mom is behind on rent and is accumulating late fees of $15 a day. She has an eviction notice for July 6. If she can pay the past due before then she won't have to move. Mom has called all the agencies and tried all the programs to help, but has not had luck yet finding the resources she needs.

Mom is looking into other ways to work over the summer so she can earn more money to pay this bill, but with 4 younger kids, she is having a hard time making that work.

So far, she owes $1865 with $15 a day being added to that amount. On July 1 she will need to come up with another $900 for July rent if she stays at this apartment. Mom is able to put down between $700-800 to help pay the past due amount. Once the past due is paid, she has the finances to stay current on her rent.

Thank you.

Help Assist a Victim of Domestic Violence

Kristy Crill of The Dive and a fellow member of CCA connected me with a woman and her adult age special needs son who left a DV relationship in the beginning of this year and accepted a new job here in Savannah as a LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) with an expected start date of June 23. She and her son have been staying at an extended stay hotel and have exhausted their funds on food lodging and transportation. Her car broke and she relies on uber to get to and from work. This woman is looking for a one week hotel stay down in Richmond Hill near her new job. She is also in need of your prayers.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I have a family of 6: a mom, dad, 6-year-old boy, 4-year-old girl, 1-year-old girl, and 6-month-old baby. The parents are not working, and they moved in with their grandparents. The 1-year-old is turning 2 this month, and they want to transition her to a toddler bed from a crib. They need a toddler bed. Transitioning from a crib to a small toddler bed will help with the space of the room because they have to fit all the beds in one room.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Hello, I am working with a mother of a 10 and 14 year old, who has finally after many years of abuse fled a bad domestic violence relationship. She entered a DV shelter over a year ago where she was reunified with her two girls and has remained strong in her commitment to protect and provide for her children. Since leaving the shelter a few months ago, She obtained employment and was able to secure a small studio apartment for she and her girls. She has worked hard to furnish the home, but with the heat of summer approaching and having some medical conditions, there is no A/C in the home for them. She wanted to see if someone has access to a small window air conditioner, New or used will work. Her studio apartment is small so one unit will cool the home. I was able to do a little research and looks like there are units from $150 to $250 on sites like Amazon, Lowe’s or Home Depot. Thank you for your time in reviewing this request to assist this family.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Caseworker is requesting assistance to help support a newly single young mother trying to gain financial independence and support her five children (ages 6, 5, 3, 2 and 9 months). Mother is the primary caregiver for the children when home but also works full-time trying to make ends meet. Mother works very hard, but is still struggling to get the necessities that are needed when raising five growing children. A $200 gift card to Walmart or Target would help mother during an already emotionally stressful situation and allow her to get ahead in what is crucially needed!

Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

This foster family has 2 foster children in their care along with other children in the home. The donation of a dresser would help them store clothing for their growing foster children. A new or used dress in good condition would be appreciated and so helpful. They are in need of a 6 drawer dresser that is tip proof since it will be for a young child and 2 more young children also reside in the home. Your consideration in assisting this family with resources is always appreciated.

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.
