We have two very young children that include a newborn who are residing with mother and relative as a result of significant DV between partner. High level measures are in place to protect and ensure the safety of children. Mother is in need of supplies so she is able to get herself and the children to service providers, court, doctors appointment, etc. to receive all the support possible.

We have a single mother who recently had a child and has two older children that fled a domestic violence situation with her partner. Thankfully, they are able to stay at a shelter where they are safe. This mother has worked hard to obtain childcare assistance so she can return to work and be more financially stable for her and her children. Right now, she needs assistance in keeping her car which she needs . She is currently behind two month payments (June and July).

Child has been placed since December, now that he is older caregiver is asking for help purchasing a potty chair. Toddler boys underwear. This will be a big finical help so that she doesn't have to worry about purchasing pullups. Amazon suggestion: Potty Chair: Go To Link

We are requesting support for two siblings 6 (M) & 9 (M), who were recently placed in a foster care placement. To help provide a safe, comfortable, and organized environment, the family is in need of twin Bunk Beds and two (2) five-drawer dresser. These items will allow the children to have their own personal space for rest and storage, promoting stability and emotional well-being during this transitional period.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

A local family is in need of a car seat for a 1-year-old baby girl. This child has been in foster care and is now in the Return to Home phase. The parents are beginning to participate in day home visits with their daughter, every Tuesday. The parents have completed all the services required by the department of social services and have been devoted to changing their lives for their daughter. One of the only barriers left is that they need a car seat. It would be best delivered to them on a Tuesday, as they would be at home with the child on those days. We appreciate your continued support and generosity for our families in need. Thank you.

A family with two children recently took in two dogs from their sister. The dogs almost had their sister evicted from her apartment, and now they are faced a similar dilemma. If they don't find a home for the dogs, they could be evicted. The family is looking for a home for the two dogs. They searched rescue sites and no kill shelters but hasn't received any help or support. Please help support this family by either taking in the dogs or by spreading the word.

Hello! Church, we have an opportunity to come alongside a single mom who is a member at Wildwood & help support her as she cares for the older bio siblings (brothers ages 9 & 12) of her adopted son. The brothers are still in foster care and need care for a period of 10 days in July. To say yes, the single mom needs childcare for the boys while she is at work. There are openings at a local day camp for both boys. The cost for 7 days of camp for both boys is $700. Please keep this family in your prayers - pray specifically for the time the three brothers will have together. If you feel led, please consider giving financially so that we can help support this family, allowing all three siblings to have 10 days together this summer. There are two ways to give financially:

1. Financial contributions can be made to Wildwood's CarePortal Fund by clicking on this link and selecting the green button that says "Give to our CarePortal Fund." Go To Link
2. You can contribute online at Wildwood's giving page and in the memo line put "Adoptive & Foster Care Ministry": Go To Link

Please reach out to Naomi at ******@email.com with any questions. Thank you for your support of the Adoptive & Foster Care community at Wildwood!

One of our very own families, who faithfully serves every weekend, is currently facing a difficult season. They are in need of support with rent and groceries this month to get back on track and not fall behind.

Earlier this year, we had the opportunity to serve two families in our community. While our assistance was very much appreciated, it does not alleviate the on-going need for these families. Both families have young children who are home during the summer months. To ensure that they have access to hot meals during the summer while they are out of school, Heartland is initiating a request to provide food gift cards to each family throughout the duration of the summer.

A father at Point Church has recently regained custody of his three children and could use some clothing items for them. He is in need of a few shirts, a few pairs of shorts, a pair of pajamas, a few pairs of socks and underwear, and a pair of shoes for his 5-year-old daughter (clothing size 5-6, shoe size 11-13), 7-year-old daughter (clothing size 8-10, underwear size 10-12, shoe size 12-13), and 10-year-old son (clothing size 14, shoe size 5). Secondhand clothing in good condition is fine. It would be a blessing for them to have these items by July 11.
