Story

•
8 Children 1 Adult

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

Our client's case just closed and we represent her as the parent. She has 2 children, ages 3 and 9 months. She just recently moved into her own apartment with her children with hardly anything. She has no money and is no longer receiving funding, as her case closed. She is in need of food for her and her children, as she stated that they have nothing to eat. She also needs clothing for her daughters who wears a size 3T/4T (3 year old) and the baby wears a size 9 to 12 months. She was also requesting a toddler bed for the 3 year old. It is my hope that we can help this family.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I've been walking alongside an incredible single mom of 5 kids for about a year and half. She successfully completed a program at Leah's Hope (who helps women with children at risk of homelessness.) She has made many sacrifices and exhausted all of her resources to provide for her kids. She's maintaining employment and making progress in her life, but recently, her sister was incarcerated, so she took in her two nephews so they wouldn't have to go into the foster care system. The cost of supporting two additional children has caused a strain on her finances and she has fallen behind on her car payment. Her car is at risk of being repossessed if she does not make a payment of $413. If her car gets repossessed, she would not have transportation to and from work, so she would also be at risk of losing her job. Any help for this amazing mom would be greatly appreciated!

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

Hello! Church, we have an opportunity to come alongside a single mom who is a member at Wildwood & help support her as she cares for the older bio siblings (brothers ages 9 & 12) of her adopted son. The brothers are still in foster care and need care for a period of 10 days in July. To say yes, the single mom needs childcare for the boys while she is at work. There are openings at a local day camp for both boys. The cost for 7 days of camp for both boys is $700. Please keep this family in your prayers - pray specifically for the time the three brothers will have together. If you feel led, please consider giving financially so that we can help support this family, allowing all three siblings to have 10 days together this summer. There are two ways to give financially:

  1. Financial contributions can be made to Wildwood's CarePortal Fund by clicking on this link and selecting the green button that says "Give to our CarePortal Fund." Go To Link
  2. You can contribute online at Wildwood's giving page and in the memo line put "Adoptive & Foster Care Ministry": Go To Link

Please reach out to Naomi at ******@email.com with any questions. Thank you for your support of the Adoptive & Foster Care community at Wildwood!

Alleviate Food/Essentials Insecurity

Earlier this year, we had the opportunity to serve two families in our community. While our assistance was very much appreciated, it does not alleviate the on-going need for these families. Both families have young children who are home during the summer months. To ensure that they have access to hot meals during the summer while they are out of school, Heartland is initiating a request to provide food gift cards to each family throughout the duration of the summer.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A father at Point Church has recently regained custody of his three children and could use some clothing items for them. He is in need of a few shirts, a few pairs of shorts, a pair of pajamas, a few pairs of socks and underwear, and a pair of shoes for his 5-year-old daughter (clothing size 5-6, shoe size 11-13), 7-year-old daughter (clothing size 8-10, underwear size 10-12, shoe size 12-13), and 10-year-old son (clothing size 14, shoe size 5). Secondhand clothing in good condition is fine. It would be a blessing for them to have these items by July 11.
