Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

We are requesting a motel night for 2 more nights. The mother and small child are waiting on an opening at a shelter or for the alleged perp to be moved from the shared residence. We thought this would happen today, but it is not going to move as fast as we wanted. Shelters have been contacted and waiting on an opening or approval. The mother and child could use a gas card and some food either taken to them or by way of gift card to price chopper or hyvee.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

Mother is receiving family reunification services through the Department of Children and Family Services. Mother has made substantial progress in addressing case issues and has complied with the DCFS and Court ordered treatment plan. The court has granted mother overnight visits with her children, ages 12 and 14. However, mother does not have adequate housing nor the resources to secure alternate housing to provide for her children so that she may start her overnight weekend visits. Some LA County Regional Parks will be hosting overnight family camping during the months of July and August of 2025. The children’s overnight visit with their mother at the campsite would allow mother to demonstrate her ability to safely care for her children while in her care. Mother is currently undocumented and does not have steady employment to purchase the much needed camp gear. Any support towards the family’s camp gear would be tremendously helpful and appreciated by the family. The family needs 1 tent to accommodate mother and her two children, 3 sleeping bags, and 3 pillows and a flashlight. The mother is asking if anyone can provide her and her children with these items.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A courageous mother of three is preparing to move into a home she will one day own through a rent-to-own opportunity, a dream she’s worked hard to make a reality. Over the past few years, we've had the honor of walking alongside her and witnessing powerful moments of growth. She is nearing one year of sobriety, has bravely left a domestic violence situation, and has fought to get the support her children need to thrive. Now, she’s taking the next step toward stability - securing a home where she can plant roots and truly take ownership! However, the home needs a lot of work. Demolition, paint, cabinets, flooring, and more. It’s not move-in ready, and we can’t do this alone. We need the community’s help to turn this space into a safe, welcoming home for her and her children. This is more than just a renovation. It’s a chance to invest in someone who is becoming a leader in her community - someone committed to walking with and supporting other families on their journeys. Let’s come together and help build a strong foundation for this incredible mom and her kids. With your help, we can turn this house into a place of healing, hope, and long-term flourishing!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

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.
