The patient is a former client of ours, last seen over four months ago. She is currently five months pregnant and reached out to our center in urgent need of support. Previously, the father of the baby had been supportive while they were in a relationship. Unfortunately, due to the unhealthy nature of the relationship, he placed the patient in a difficult and unsafe situation, ultimately resulting in her being forced out of his home. Thankfully, her sister was able to offer her a temporary place to stay. The patient is currently working part-time, but she is struggling to make ends meet—particularly with her car payments and other essential expenses. She has expressed deep concern about how the ongoing stress is impacting both her well-being and that of her unborn child. Providing this assistance would reassure her that she is not alone and that support is available during this critical time. It would help relieve some of the fear and stress she is currently facing and allow her to focus on a healthier and more stable future for herself and her baby.

A mother of 4 children has had to divorce her spouse due to abuse he was perpetrating against her children. Part of the divorce agreement is that his parents are able to come collect his things while he is in prison. Mom is not able to move some of the items to the garage, and could really use the support of a few strong people who would be willing to help move items. The items are being picked up on July 26th, so the moving would have to take place prior to that.

An older sister has kinship over her two younger sisters, in addition to taking care of her own child, since her father has been physically removed from the home for domestic violence and alcohol abuse. This family has gone through hardships and had recent flooding (due to the heavy rains) in their basement apartment. They have experienced loss of clothes, shoes, household items, etc. Assistance for them would be greatly appreciated to replace the essential items. Thank you.

This bio-mom I serve had her two children returned home to her at the end of August. This mom spent some time in a psychiatric hospital after the children were removed from her. Once she was out, she was fully engaged in her treatment plan with the agency and fully engaged in all of her services leading to her getting her children returned home to her. The mom and her two children are currently living in a transitional home where the mom has resided since her discharge from the psychiatric hospital. The family is able to stay at the transitional home for as long as they need to, but the mom has been working to get them an apartment. The mom has asked for assistance with her car insurance bill for the month of July in the amount of $364.45 as she has been approved for an apartment and needing to pay all of her typical bills plus first months rent and a security deposit for the new apartment. This will help alleviate some of the financial stress that is on the mom as she makes this move to an apartment for her and her children.
