A grandmother is caring for her grandchildren while her son is incarcerated. The parents’ absence has placed an emotional and financial strain on the household. I am requesting assistance for a family facing financial hardship and is behind on her electric bill. Providing support for this urgent need would help relieve some of the burden they are carrying and allow them to focus on caring for the children. Any assistance you can provide toward covering this utility bill would be a tremendous blessing and a critical step in helping this family remain safe, warm, and connected during this difficult season

I have a mom who dad is leaving to California and mom is down to 15 hours a week for work and the three kids are sharing a bed right now so bunk beds would be extremely helpful for them. They have a mattresses already and a bunk bed would be such a blessing to them. Mom also stated that a dresser for the kids would be very helpful as they don't currently have one.

This request is on behalf of a Hope Florida participant that is a single mother of five children. This family needs your assistance to obtain clothing and shoes for the children which they need to attend school. This hard-working mom has fallen on hard times and is trying to pick up the pieces. She recently became employed part-time at Home Depot but has not yet received her first paycheck. The children's grandfather helps when he can to watch the children. This mom is expecting a newborn girl on 8/4/25 and really needs help to have clothing for the newborn when she comes home. Your help providing the ability for mom to purchase clothing will really help ease her mind as she would like to provide to her children much needed items. Your help with clothing for the children will help them be able to attend school. A gift card from Walmart, TJMaxx or Ross. A Walmart gift card for $500 would be the best choice as she can find a large variety of clothing there. Thank you, Care Portal churches your help which is crucial for people struggling financially.

A mother who is working to reunify with her 4 young children, a 10 year old male, and three females ages 8, 7, and 6. The mother reports she will need assistance with securing beds for the children, but she reports she can obtain the other bedroom furniture that they will need. The mother has reported that she has painted and had housing fix the broken parts of her home and she is now ready to start preparing their rooms.

Due to the children having special needs, bunk beds are not being requested. Thank you for your consideration!

Seeking support for an 11-month-old baby girl who has been in CDSS care since birth. She is currently placed with her paternal aunt, who has been actively meeting all of the baby’s developmental and emotional needs.

As the baby was born small and has experienced some developmental delays, she has been able to safely use her current sleeping arrangement until now. However, she has grown significantly and now requires a larger crib to continue to meet her needs safely. Her aunt is requesting assistance in providing a new crib for this child. Any support would be greatly appreciated to help ensure her continued growth, safety, and well-being.

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.
