15 Children 15 Adults

Our clinic is running low on basic supplies to give new mothers when baby comes. We assemble layette bags to gift to new moms and offer continued practical support until their child reaches 2 years of age. Most of our mothers are members of the community struggling to make ends meet, trying to navigate insurance, and figure out how to prepare for the arrival of their child. We could use help with acquiring newborn diapers as well as a few other sizes, clothing, pacifiers, and bottles. We have assembled an Amazon wish list (Go To Link listing some of our needs as we help our moms prepare for their new babies and the moms who come back for support as their baby grows.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

👟🌞 Helping a Supermom of 7! Summer Support Needed

We’re hoping to rally some support around an incredible single foster mom who is currently caring for seven amazing kids—yes, seven! She’s doing an incredible job juggling everything on her own, but could really use a little extra help this summer.

Right now, she’s in need of:

🍼 A stroller that can hold a car seat—something that makes outings a little easier and more manageable with the littlest ones in tow. 👗 Summer clothes for her 16-year-old daughter, who wears a junior size 2-3 pants and size medium shirts. Light, breathable clothing for the season would be a huge blessing!

This mama is showing up with so much love and dedication every single day, and meeting these practical needs would go a long way in lightening her load and reminding her she’s not alone.

💛 Thank you for considering how you might help support this family—it’s the little things that make a big difference.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A single mother of 4 children is in need of help with paying her electric and gas bills that both currently have shut off notices. This mother has 2 daughters who reside full time within her care and 2 sons who stay with her throughout the week. Mom lost her job in March and has been able to secure unemployment, but her payment is not enough to cover the current cost of her electric and gas bills. Mom has been actively looking to obtain employment, but has run in to barriers in doing so and also has been struggling with some new medical needs. This family could greatly benefit from the support of these bills being paid. The DTE bill needs to be paid before 7/3/25 and Consumers needs to be paid before 7/5/25.

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!
