Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

I am working with a single, expecting mother with two children in childcare. She is experiencing an overdue amount on her utility bill and could use some assistance paying it off to ensure the safety and well being of herself, her unborn child, as well as her two other children in the home. She owes a total of $700. Anything to be contributed she would be endlessly grateful for.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

The client is a 50-year-old mother of three, aged 12, 13, and 14. The client was recently displaced from her home due to a domestic violence incident involving her spouse. She is currently working to re-establish stability for herself and her children after experiencing significant personal and financial loss. The client recently became unemployed and is seeking financial assistance to support her family. She has expressed an immediate need for basic household items, including a dresser for her bedroom, as well as support in obtaining school uniforms for her children, size medium for all three kids. Support from the Care Portal at this time would provide critical relief to the family, equipping them with essential resources needed to stabilize their current situation. *****NOTE: “This request is being submitted by the Center for Family Services of Palm Beach County on behalf of the client.

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.
