I am writing to request urgent assistance with a significantly high water bill for this family. This family is facing imminent water shut-off due to their inability to pay the outstanding balance. This situation is particularly critical as there are two kids in the household, aged 5 years old, and 8 years old. The lack of water would create an unsanitary and potentially unsafe living environment, severely impacting the children's health and well-being. The family is actively working towards financial stability, but this unforeseen and excessive utility expense has created an immediate and stressful concern. Any assistance that could be provided to help cover this water bill would be immensely helpful for this family.

Please help support a Grandmother who has become the sole support for an 8-year-old girl. Grandmother left an abusive situation to be able to keep her granddaughter from going into the foster care system and needs help paying for a deposit on an apartment. This little girl is ball of sunshine who loves to swim and dance. Her grandmother is the only family she has known in her young life and without assistance, her Grandmother can't afford to move into a home that can house both of them. Grandmother has just wants a better future for her granddaughter and has rent planned for the next year, but inflated housing costs means she is a little short for the deposit on her apartment.

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!!!
