Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

The family consists of the parents, and their 4 children, female age 9, male age 6, male age 7 and male age 17. The family is homeless and living at a motel since December 2024 as a result, of father’s work being slow and their inability to keep up with the rent for their apartment. Father was working in Monrovia selling corn and aguas frescas. Father was recently cited by for driving without a license and expired tags. Consequently, their work van was impounded, and they cannot afford to get it out. Mother had shared her children will not be attending summer school because there is a charge per child and they cannot afford it. A laptop for the 17-year-old child, would be helpful since he is not doing well in school and this will assist him with completing school assignments.  Mother and Father's dream is to have their children do well and graduate from school. A basic laptop would be a great help. Gift cards for back to school supplies and clothes would also be a great support.

Help Remove an Educational Barrier for a Child

A teenager who has been in foster care for almost two years was able to reunify with his mother this summer. This teenager is participating in tutoring throughout the summer and will continue tutoring services through the school year. He needs additional supplies to be able to effectively participate with his tutor. These items include a laptop/computer, a desk and chair, and a printer with ink and paper.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A previous mom we helped some time ago has stated the bed we gave is now worn. A photo was provided to show that. She would appreciate a twin bed for her son (mattress and box springs and rails, or platform frame) and a comforter. This will help her son to get the sleep he needs to be healthy and feel secure.

PLEASE NOTE: RISE CHURCH CAN MEET THIS NEED WITH A BED WE ALREADY HAVE IN OUR INVENTORY. NO FURTHER DONATIONS ARE NEEDED.
