Request: #238260 • Urgency: High • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Los Angeles • State: California • Zip Code: 90043 • County: Los Angeles • Submitted By: DCFS-LA Wateridge

Story

•
1 Child 1 Adult

We are reaching out with an urgent request for financial assistance on behalf of a dedicated single mother and her vibrant two-year-old daughter.

Recently, the child experienced a health crisis that required hospitalization and, per the doctor’s orders, an additional three days of rest. This unforeseen medical emergency forced the mother to miss several days of work, resulting in a temporary loss of income.

The family has been approved for a Section 8 two-bedroom unit in the City of Los Angeles. However, due to this setback, the mother is now unable to cover the full $700 security deposit required to secure the unit. She has managed to raise $300 but is still in need of $400 to meet the full amount.

Despite her best efforts, this mother is at risk of losing the opportunity to secure safe and stable housing—jeopardizing not only her Section 8 voucher but also prolonging an already difficult housing search. More critically, this could negatively impact her daughter’s health, safety, and overall well-being.

Request: We are seeking an emergency contribution of $400 to help close the gap and ensure this family does not lose access to this critical housing opportunity.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Single mother and her three children need assistance paying off old bills so they can move into permanent housing. Mother is currently staying at a long-term stay hotel where she has been harrassed and attacked at by other guests. She has been staying there after being kicked out of a shelter that was supposed to help her until she found more permanent housing and was allegedly robbed and manipulated by a service provider who took her money (which following a significant period of time was returned) and many of her items (which still have not been returned). However, Mother's section 8 voucher has been granted and she will be able to move into an apartment by the end of the month, but she needs to pay off her past due bills. This request is for assistance with her Spire Bill. Helping her with these bills will finally let the family have a safe home.

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.

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.
