Grandparents have taken in two of their grandchildren to help maintain their family connections and keep them safe. They were able to get one bed, but need help to get a twin bed, mattress, sheets, and blankets for their other grandchild to have a safe and supportive place to sleep. If they are able to get a second bed, their grandchild would be able to have better sleep and have all of his needs met.

Male Youth (age 14) is currently on probation and will be exiting detention in July to reside with his mother. Youth will live in a single parent household with two siblings. Youth needs of a twin-size bed (twin-size bed frame, box spring and twin mattresses). Mother recently found a job and is struggling on a fixed income to make ends meet after paying bills. The mother does not have the financial means to provide a bed for the youth. Having a comfortable bed to sleep on is vital for overall welfare for youth and will help increase his chances of successfully completing probation.

Parents are both working but have lost their overtime and had hours reduced. The mother was in a car wreck which totaled the family's car. They bought a new one, which was under warranty for six months. During this time, the engine quit and a new one was needed, however, it took some time to get the parts in. The parts were paid for, but the warranty company only paid $75 per hour for the labor and the labor was more than this. When they test drove the car after the repair, the differential went out and by this time, the car was no longer under warranty. The family live out an hour out of town but work locally. Due to their only car being in the garage, unable to pay to complete the repair, they are staying locally with friends so they can get a ride to and from work. There is no room for their children, so they are staying with a babysitter, who they have to pay $40 per day. They are also behind in this payment, and the father is unsure of how much. They have had their water and gas turned off, but the family is only asking for the car repair to be covered so they can get back on their feet and they can be reunited as a family.

The family is in need of a toddler bed for their one year old who is currently sleeping in the parents bed.

Mother of 4, soon to be 5, in need of furniture for their apartment. Looking for a dining room table and six chairs, an armchair for her to hold her new baby (soon) and an end table to set down a bottle, etc.

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

Single mom with two children facing eviction if she doesn't get help with her rent. Children out of school, and challenges with child care, caused her to miss work. She only has half of her rent. She needs to help with $600 which is the the other half of the rent and late charges. The children will be going to summer camp in July allowing mom to get back to her normal working hours.

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.
