Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

Grandparents took in their grandchildren as a last minute request so they had little time to prepare. The kids are 4 and 8 years old, and did not come with much clothing, so they're in need of clothes for the summertime. If they could get help with a giftcard to purchase clothing, that would be so appreciated. They shop at Walmart, Target, Kohls, Ross etc. Any help with any amount and store is greatly appreciated!

Help Make a Kinship Placement

62257985- A compassionate and responsible young woman has recently stepped up in a time of crisis to care for her 19-day-old baby cousin. This unexpected placement has made her the full-time caregiver for the newborn, who arrived with little to no essentials.

Despite just starting a new job, this loving cousin is doing her best to provide a safe and nurturing environment for the baby girl. However, she is in immediate need of support to help get them through until her first paycheck.

Currently, she is in need of:

Newborn-sized diapers

Baby wipes (any brand)

Baby formula (a gift card is preferred, as the specific formula type is still unknown)

Due to the biological mother still holding custody, she is unable to apply for WIC benefits at this time.

Any assistance—whether through donated items or gift cards—would be deeply appreciated and will go directly toward supporting this young caregiver and the precious baby in her care.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity during this time of need.

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!
