Help Make a Kinship Placement

To help keep siblings together and place them with family, there is a kinship family needing bunk beds and mattresses for 7 children. There is an uncle who will be taking in 5 of his nieces. He will need a bunk bed and a trundle bunk bed with mattresses for the girls. The uncle already has 3 children and due to space limitations with adding 5 children, he will need new beds and mattresses for his children as they are downsizing their bed size.

The children will be placed tonight and some of the children will have to temporarily sleep on air mattresses until they can get beds. They are needing 2 sets of bunk beds and a bunk bed with trundle underneath. This is time sensitive due to the girls sleeping on air mattresses.

ONE OF THE BUNK BEDS WILL NEED TO BE A TRUNDLE BUNK BED.

We are working with a single mom who has 6 children. She has no air conditioners in her apartment and its miserable. There are 4 bedrooms and a living room so they really need 5 window unit a/c's if possible but we will only request 3 because that would make it possible for them to sleep comfortably.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

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.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

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.

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!!!
