The caregiver and her family are requesting assistance to cover the rest of her rental payment for this month. The caregiver received the placement of her nephew in February, however, has been struggling with his behavior at school which has caused her to miss out on work. The child has been kicked out from several daycares due to his behaviors, and the caregiver has had to miss work to pick him up and stay with him during the day. The child has a history of trauma which they are working through in therapy and with medications. The caregiver and the team are looking for services for the child to manage their behavior. The caregiver wants to keep the placement of her nephew but needs extra help due to the circumstances. The caregiver is currently receiving funding; however, it does not cover her total rent.

A family with two children recently took in two dogs from their sister. The dogs almost had their sister evicted from her apartment, and now they are faced a similar dilemma. If they don't find a home for the dogs, they could be evicted. The family is looking for a home for the two dogs. They searched rescue sites and no kill shelters but hasn't received any help or support. Please help support this family by either taking in the dogs or by spreading the word.

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

One of our very own families, who faithfully serves every weekend, is currently facing a difficult season. They are in need of support with rent and groceries this month to get back on track and not fall behind.

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.

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.
