Support an Expecting Mom and Her Unborn Baby

Dear Friends,

We’d like to share the story of a courageous expectant mother in our community who is preparing to welcome her baby with great love and determination. Despite relying solely on public transportation, she faithfully attends her prenatal appointments, parenting classes, and runs daily errands—all on foot.

Right now, she’s in need of a comfortable, lightweight, and durable stroller—something easy to manage on the bus and sturdy enough to support her child through the toddler years. This gift would not only ease her daily challenges but also empower her to care for her baby with confidence and dignity. More than just a stroller, your support would be a powerful reminder that she is not alone—that she is surrounded by a community that cares deeply.

If you feel called to help, your generosity would mean the world to her.

Thank you for being a source of love and hope.

With heartfelt gratitude, Circle of Hope, Gainesville FL

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

There is a single mother of two boys who are 6 and 4 years old. The family had to abruptly leave their previous home due to a domestic violence situation. The family had to leave behind and cannot access many items like extra clothing. The two children currently need shoes and other basic need items that the mother is not currently able to afford all at once. The family is grateful to any help.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

The family fled a domestic violence situation and moved into a shelter temporarily until housing could be secured by the family. The item's requested are to assist the family in furnishing the home and provide bed space for one of the children to sleep in his own bed. Mom fled without most of her and the children's clothing, and school is getting ready to start in about 5 weeks.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

We are seeking new clothing items or gift cards for a 17-year-old girl who has experienced more hardship than any child should ever have to endure. After time in foster care, she was placed in a guardianship that, sadly, led to further abuse. She has since been safely removed but is starting over with nothing.

When she arrived today, she was wearing sandals that were literally breaking at the seams. She is in desperate need of new clothes and especially new shoes.

With her 18th birthday coming up, we want to do more than just meet her physical needs — we want her to feel seen, valued, and supported.

We are asking for new clothing in the following sizes:

Shirts: Medium

Bottoms: X-Small

Underwear: Women’s Small (4–6)

Shoes: Women’s Size 8

If you prefer, gift cards to stores like Walmart or Amazon are also greatly appreciated so she can pick out items that make her feel confident and comfortable.

During her time at the advocacy center, she quietly wrote “Genesis 1:1 – ‘In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth’” on a blank piece of paper — a simple yet powerful reminder that despite everything she’s been through, she is choosing to trust that God is still in control.

Help us show this young woman that she is not alone, and that she is surrounded by a community ready to lift her up with love, dignity, and hope.

If you would like to help, please contact Hailey Woolbright(###) ###-####.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Single mother and her three children need assistance paying off old bills so they can move into permanent housing. Mother is currently staying at a long-term stay hotel where she has been harrassed and attacked at by other guests. She has been staying there after being kicked out of a shelter that was supposed to help her until she found more permanent housing and was allegedly robbed and manipulated by a service provider who took her money (which following a significant period of time was returned) and many of her items (which still have not been returned). However, Mother's section 8 voucher has been granted and she will be able to move into an apartment by the end of the month, but she needs to pay off her past due bills. This request is for assistance with her Evergy Bill. Helping her with these bills will finally let the family have a safe home.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A courageous mother of three is preparing to move into a home she will one day own through a rent-to-own opportunity, a dream she’s worked hard to make a reality. Over the past few years, we've had the honor of walking alongside her and witnessing powerful moments of growth. She is nearing one year of sobriety, has bravely left a domestic violence situation, and has fought to get the support her children need to thrive. Now, she’s taking the next step toward stability - securing a home where she can plant roots and truly take ownership! However, the home needs a lot of work. Demolition, paint, cabinets, flooring, and more. It’s not move-in ready, and we can’t do this alone. We need the community’s help to turn this space into a safe, welcoming home for her and her children. This is more than just a renovation. It’s a chance to invest in someone who is becoming a leader in her community - someone committed to walking with and supporting other families on their journeys. Let’s come together and help build a strong foundation for this incredible mom and her kids. With your help, we can turn this house into a place of healing, hope, and long-term flourishing!
