Request: #238292 • Urgency: High • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Los Angeles • State: California • Zip Code: 90047 • County: Los Angeles • Submitted By: DCFS-LA Wateridge • Lead Church: Good News Missionary Baptist Church

Story

•
4 Children 1 Adult

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. $749.00 for 4 movers and 1 truck (flat rate) 2. $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 Reunify a Bio Family

A devoted mother of four is living in a hotel with her children, doing everything she can to keep them safe and sheltered. She works hard, cleaning homes to provide for her family. However, this week, a client canceled due to a family tragedy, leaving her $150 short for their weekly hotel stay. Despite her efforts to make the money, time is running out. She’s not asking for much—just a little help to get through this challenging moment. Your support could make the difference between stability and uncertainty for her and her children.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

We have a mother who is 35 weeks pregnant and, unfortunately, has no furniture in her home. Her children have been forced to sleep on the floor for quite a while, which is far from ideal for their well-being. Every child deserves the comfort and safety of a bed, especially in these challenging times. We kindly ask for your generosity—any donations of beds would make a world of difference for this family. Thank you for your support!.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

This is a 14 almost 15 year old boy who lost his mother at a young age and his father went to prison. He was then left in the custody of his grandparents who also then passed. He was moved to the custody of a family member who has not provided proper care and has collected his survivor benefits while not caring for this child. This child is now placed in the care of a friend who loves him and advocates for his needs. This is a child that has not seen or known stability for many years and now is in the home of a provider who cares deeply for him and has immediately told him this is his home and he will always be welcome there. He has very little clothing with him, and mentioned his favorite store is the GenX store, so this request is a gift card to the GenX store so this child can pick out new clothes that fit his style and expand his wardrobe.

Request: Support for Foster Family Temporarily Caring for Two Young Nieces

A generous foster family has recently stepped up to care for their two young nieces—ages 2 and 3—while their parents are navigating a medical crisis with a new baby in the hospital. This family is already providing love and stability through foster care, and this unexpected addition has stretched their resources even more.

We’re hoping to rally some support to help them care for these little ones during this time. Here are a few specific needs that would be a huge blessing:

🧸 Fun Activities

Paw Patrol or animal-themed toys, books, or quiet activities (great for keeping the girls busy during hospital visits)

🩳 Clothing Needs

Size 3T pajamas for both girls

🧼 Essentials

Size 4 diapers

Swim diapers

Baby wipes

Truly, any amount of help is appreciated. This family didn’t hesitate to say “yes” when their nieces needed them, and now we have a chance to say “yes” to them. Thank you for considering how you might help meet these needs with love and generosity!

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.
