Request: #239167 • Urgency: Normal • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Palmdale • State: California • Zip Code: 93550 • County: Los Angeles • Submitted By: Fostering UNITY • Lead Church: Greater Works Christian Church

Story

1 Child

A 17-year-old foster youth, a recent immigrant and primarily Spanish-speaking, has found comfort and joy in reading as she adjusts to a new country and language. Her favorite hobby is reading young adult fiction—especially in Spanish, which helps her feel connected to her roots while continuing to grow.

She is hoping to receive a Kindle and an Amazon gift card so she can access books in her native language and continue exploring stories that inspire and empower her.

This small gesture would mean so much to her, offering both comfort and a creative outlet as she builds a new life here. Thank you for considering this heartfelt request.

I have attached a kindle. It does not have to be this exact one. The gift card is to buy books on the kindle. We are asking for $50 but anything would be appreciated.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

There is a limited income family that needs storage for their medications to prevent one of their children from finding and getting into the medication. They would benefit from a medication lockbox. This would help to keep the child safe by preventing access to medications. One was found online at the following link. Go To Link

Help Reunify a Bio Family

We have youth being released from residential treatment in the next week or so and are reaching out to see if we can find a source for a punching bag. The residential facility has successfully used the punching bag and heavy bags to help focus the youths aggression and work out some of his anger. Since using this method the youth has not had any unsafe incidents. We would like to continue this therapeutic training as the child transitions home. Ideally it would be a free standing bag as we unsure the family has a secure spot to hang a bag. The 100lb bag by itself costs around $100 with a stand costing an additional $100.

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.
