Story

•
2 Children 1 Adult

Hello, I’m reaching out on behalf of a single mother who is currently facing a very difficult situation. Recently, there was a flood in her apartment, and unfortunately, both of her children’s mattresses were severely damaged and are no longer usable.

She is doing everything she can to provide for her family, but as a single mom, finances are already stretched thin—and replacing two twin-size mattresses simply isn't something she can afford right now.

Her children, who are both still quite young, need a safe and comfortable place to sleep. If anyone is able to donate new or gently used twin mattresses, or contribute in any way toward helping her replace them, it would make a world of difference to this family.

Even a small act of kindness can bring comfort and relief in a time like this. Thank you so much for considering this request—and for any support you can offer. With gratitude.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I have a client who recently began receiving case management services through the Stabilization Program. She is currently earning income through DoorDash while actively searching for a job, as USD 259 is out for the summer break. She is a single mother of three and works full-time as a paraprofessional during the school year. However, due to reduced income over the summer, she is in need of assistance with her rent. Her total rent is $1,050, but she only requires $800 in assistance, as she is able to contribute $250 toward July's rent.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A bio family with a single-parent household is currently experiencing financial difficulties due to job insecurities. The mother who was a former foster youth is in need of rental assistance to help offset the amount they are behind on due to recent loss of a work. Their current financial constraints make it challenging to meet their housing obligations. Providing rental assistance will help the family try to avoid eviction, ensuring housing stability during this challenging time while alleviating some of the financial strain as they work to regain employment security.

Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

We have been connected to a family who is fostering through DHHS. This foster family has placement of 3 little children (ages from 4-8) that they are in the process of adopting. They had their washing machine and air conditioning break down in the same week and only had the funds to replace one, so they prioritized the air conditioning for the summer heat wave we had this past week. The family had a high capacity 5.3 cu-ft top-load washing machine to be able to meet with laundry demands of their family and would like their replacement to have a similar capacity and similarly top-loading. The youngest child has some higher needs and frequently wets the bed which requires regular use of a washing machine for larger bedding items. The family consulted a technician who reported the costs of the repair for the washing machine would be at least $800 and the technician recommended buying a new one over paying for repairs. The listed cost is for a 5.3 cu-ft top-load with delivery from Lowe's.

V is a mom and grandma working hard to care for her two children and one grandson. She fell behind on her electric bill due to an illness and missing work and now it's shut off.
