Opportunity to assist a grandmother raising her grandson!

This grandmother has begun to have more health issues. Since the beginning of the year, she has fallen and subsequently requested a handrailing be installed outside her house. She is renting an apartment in a large older house and has a back door off a porch/patio area with two or three concrete steps. There is not a railing. The steps go down into her yard and flower beds, which she frequently works in. Her landlord has approved the modification. Having the handrailing installed would help with maintaining the grandmother's mobility, and in turn, ensuring she can continue raising her grandson.

Pictures can be provided of the steps to further assess the project.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

A devoted and resilient caregiver—who has legal custody of her 11-year-old grandson—is in urgent need of support for additional auto repairs. With the help of OhioKAN, most of the initial repair costs are being covered; however, once the shop (Milex/Mr. Transmission) began working on the vehicle, they discovered an additional issue: the valve cover gaskets need to be replaced, totaling $264.00. This unexpected expense was not part of the original estimate, and unfortunately, cannot be covered by OhioKAN’s already-approved amount of $2,018.36.

This caregiver is navigating an overwhelming season of life. Alongside managing her own serious health condition—Congestive Heart Failure—she is also coping with the heartbreaking and recent loss of her nephew, who was tragically murdered. She is now planning travel to Maryland to attend his funeral, further stretching her emotional and financial capacity.

Despite everything she’s facing, she continues to show up for her grandson with love and determination. Any additional support to help cover this unexpected car repair would be deeply appreciated. Her vehicle is currently at the shop receiving the approved repairs, but she will need to return it soon to address the valve cover gasket issue.

Your kindness and assistance would mean the world to her during this incredibly difficult time.

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.
