Story

1 Child

We are currently working with a 15-year-old boy and his mother who, in the past few months, have experienced many changes within their living environment. This family was referred to us through the Office of Refugee Resettlement since the child was an unaccompanied minor that was recently reunified with his mom. The mom's previous partner was their main financial source, but they are no longer together due to his emotional abusive behavior toward her and her teenage son. The mom has shown resilience and perseverance throughout this process and is now working full-time. She is making just enough to rent out a room in an apartment, but is not yet making enough to rent the entire apartment on her own. The child and mother are currently sharing a queen-sized bed since the mom cannot currently afford to purchase an additional bed for her son. However, they have both expressed a desire for the teenage boy to have his own bed, especially as he continues to grow as a teenager. Your collaboration in serving this family would be so impactful, especially considering all the challenges and pain they have been through! Thank you in advance for your consideration and support!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Hello all,

Requesting assistance with two toddler beds for two children; 2-year-old female and a 3-year-old male. The children had their own beds however the family needed to move and moved in the rain and the children's beds were ruined with the rain. I am wanting to help this family out as the parents are financially limited and have been cooperative with the Department. The children deserve to have a safe sleeping environment which is why I am asking for assistance for this family. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

This request is on behalf of a Hope Florida participant that is a single mom. She is a devoted mother of a fourteen-year-old girl and a newborn son. They live in a modest apartment, and she is doing everything she can to create a stable and safe environment for her children. She is employed and works at FedEx and earns approximately $450 per week. She is experiencing hardship and is unable to purchase all the daily items that her baby needs. After the birth of her son, she was placed on maternity leave which significantly reduced her income. With her rent at $1,700 a month and the rising costs of utilities, food and essentials she is struggling to stretch every dollar to provide for her children. To make things even more difficult she is parenting alone without child support. She is the sole provider, protector, and nurturer. A role she fulfills with resilience, despite the emotional and financial toll. This mom is seeking assistance with diapers for her infant son. This will help with the high cost of diapers so she can reallocate what little money she has toward urgent needs-groceries, utility bills, and clothing for her daughter to return to school. Please help this family with needs and provide some financial relief to mom. Your help will allow her to stand more securely and continue pressing forward to improve a future for her family. Your support will make this possible. The prices for the items needed was obtained using Go To Link

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

Two young children were placed in the care of their maternal grandparents recently. The grandparents have a large spare bedroom for the children to share. There is closet space, but they do not have an extra dresser or chest of drawers to put the children's clothing in. They are in need of one large dresser for both of the children's clothes. Assistance with a dresser would help the placement financially, as they now have childcare expenses that they didn't have previously. A dresser will also help keep the children's bedroom clean and organized.

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.
