I am requesting assistance for a donation of a mini crib with a mattress on behalf of a mother. Due to the limited space in her single-sized apartment, a compact or “mini” crib with a mattress would be most suitable.

Mother is a resilient and courageous mother who recently made the brave decision to provide a safe and stable environment for her 8-month-old baby and the child she is currently expecting. She has faced numerous challenges, threats from local gang members, and eviction due to financial hardship.

Mother has since relocated to a small apartment where she resides with her child, and two other adult relatives. Despite her circumstances, she remains focused on rebuilding her life. She has enrolled in educational programs and is actively participating in services.

A mini crib with a mattress would provide a much-needed safe and secure sleeping space for her baby, offering both physical safety and emotional comfort during this critical period of transition.

Hello,

I am reaching out to request support for a mom who is currently unhoused and is expecting to deliver her baby in early July. This wonderful mom is in need of a car seat and stroller combo. I have attached the details of the items she prefers. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Go To Link

Thank you for your support.

Blessings,

1 year old twins (boy and girl) are working towards return home with single father who already has a two-year-old in his care. Father recently moved into a bigger place and has been getting things ready for the twins to return home and is needing help with getting two highchairs and one additional walker for the twins.

I have an adoptive single mother of two young girls, one of which is confirmed as special needs, who is having a hard time mentally and financially as she navigates her situation. This mother adopted her brother's biological children from birth, and has been taking good care of them without assistance until the last year and is now asking for help (a big step for her!). As the girls grow up, their needs change and mom is in need of community assistance to meet those needs as she works through her challenges. She has applied for food stamps and unfortunately due to her children being adopted, it's taking more time than she can wait, among other barriers she is working through. At this point in time, mom has no income source.

I am putting in two separate requests, based on importance and immediacy of need for her so she can continue to care for these girls while she improves her current situation.

1. She is in immediate need of groceries her autistic daughter will eat: Spaghetti, waffles, pizza, chicken nuggets, juices, healthy snacks, etc.
2. Financial assistance getting her van registered to she can start driving for work/income. $100 estimated need.

Mom has been doing her best at managing her situation for her girls and we are wanting to preserve this adopted family. Please consider assisting this mother make it through this next month so she can work on employment and other needs.

Mother is a stay-at-home mother of three children all under the age of 5. Dad is working a minimum wage job trying to support the family. 3 of the children are needing twin size mattresses. (They have the box springs & frame). Any help for this family would be appreciated.

A family from Lincoln got a notice from the Health Department last week that their rental is being condemned due to lead poisoning. They will be moving out tomorrow and searching for another rental. The family needs some time to be able to find a home that fits their budget and time to be able to strengthen the health of their kids who have been impacted by the lead. We are hoping to provide the family with a one week hotel stay, some giftcards for meals and homecook meals while they are without a kitchen. This family is naturally on top of things; however, this has a large impact on them. What a great way to show and share the love of Jesus with them by stepping in.

This request is for a single mom who has four children- 11 years, 7 years, 1 year, & 2 months. She has no transportation, so she is walking the family everywhere. Given the ages of the children, they all have to go out together. The double stroller is for the 1 year-old and the baby, to make outings more feasible and safe. The donation can be new or gently used. You can drop the stroller off at Woodstock City Church or at Children's Haven, whichever is more convenient.

There is a family with four children, 3 of which are special needs, that got placed in police protective custody this week due to abuse. The children were removed and all 4 (ages 6,4,4,3) are needing beds for their placements. This is an evolving situation and other needs may arise, but the beds are the most immediate need. Thank you for any help you can provide!

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!!!
