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.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

We’re reaching out on behalf of a dedicated single mom who is currently caring for eight children — a mix of her own children and kinship placements. She’s stepped up in an incredible way to keep her extended family together, offering stability, love, and a sense of belonging.

But right now, they need our help.

Their only window AC unit has gone out, and with summer temperatures climbing, the heat inside their home is becoming unbearable. This family already faces so many challenges, and the lack of a working air conditioner adds unnecessary strain and discomfort.

We’re looking to provide a new window AC unit to ensure that:

The children can stay safe, cool, and comfortable during the hottest part of the year. The home environment remains stable and supportive, helping to preserve the kinship placement and prevent unnecessary involvement in the foster care system. This hardworking mom can focus on nurturing her family without the stress of unsafe living conditions. This is a simple but powerful way to step in and support family preservation and community-based care.

If you can donate a working AC unit, contribute toward the purchase of one, or help spread the word, it would make a real difference in the lives of these kids and the woman who loves them deeply.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A mom and her five children urgently need to relocate due to an escalating domestic violence situation. After leaving an abusive relationship four years ago and working hard to build a stable life, her safety has once again been compromised. She has made the decision to move to another state where she has supportive family and has already secured permission to transfer her housing voucher and end her current lease. The family would like to rent a U-haul to transport their household to their new location.A quote for the U-haul has been acquired and totals: $1,375.97 Gift cards to Walmart or Amazon ($300) would also be helpful in setting up their new home once they arrive.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I am reaching out on behalf of a local family in urgent need. The household includes two young daughters whose mattresses are torn, stained, and no longer usable. The family is struggling financially, with only one parent working and bringing in barely enough to cover rent and utilities. They are behind on their water bill and facing the possibility of not making rent next month. The family has been resourceful, reaching out to churches and local organizations for help, but their needs remain great. In addition to mattresses for the children, they could greatly use a couch and support with food, as their SNAP benefits have lapsed. Any assistance with clean, gently used or new mattresses and household essentials would make a huge difference for this family.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

We are working with a Single mother of four children: two girls (ages 15 and 8) and two boys (ages 10 and 5) Recently secured housing. This young lady suffers from Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes painful, pus-filled lumps deep in the skin, particularly in areas where skin rubs together. This debilitating condition has prevented her from working for over a year as medical professionals can't seem to identify a cure or offer aid to avoid flare-ups. She is working hard to establish stability, but her medical condition significantly impacts her ability to work and provide for her children's basic needs. These essential furniture items would create a more comfortable and functional living environment for the entire family during this challenging time.
