Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Young mother of 4 month old baby who was previously in foster care in need of small room window A/C unit. The mother and baby live with the maternal grandmother and 2 uncles and there is only an a/c in the maternal grandmother's room. The mother and baby sleep in the mother's room and is dangerously warm in there for the baby. The baby was in foster care after being born and the mother has worked very hard to get the child out of care, keep a safe environment for him and continue with her parenting education. This would help the mother and the baby stay safe and healthy.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A single mother with three children (ages 3, 19, and 22) is in need of a bus pass to support her efforts to maintain stability for her family. The family recently lost their vehicle, which has made it difficult for the mother to get to and from work, attend medical appointments, and continue her job search.

Access to reliable transportation would greatly ease the family's daily challenges and support the mother in securing consistent employment. Most importantly, it would help ensure the youngest child can attend daycare and that the household remains stable while the family works toward long-term independence. Transportation assistance at this time would make a meaningful difference in the lives of all three children.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A single mother of three young children is requesting assistance with beds for her children. After the children’s father left the home, the family struggled financially and was eventually evicted. The mother, along with her three minor children and her disabled mother, recently secured stable housing. However, due to the high costs of the security deposit and rent, she is unable to afford beds for the children.

The mother is currently employed and doing her best to provide for her family. Support with beds would ensure her children have a safe and comfortable place to sleep, which is essential for their health, development, and well-being. Your assistance would bring stability and comfort to this family during a time of rebuilding.

Housing and utility assistance ($2,000 need) Gas cards to travel to and from her son's medical appointments Newborn baby items (clothes, diapers, bottles, blankets, etc.) Your support will provide this family with stability, hope, and relief during an incredibly trying time.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

I’m reaching out on behalf of a single mother of three who is facing an incredibly difficult and urgent situation. Due to an issue within her apartment complex, now resolved, the family was forced to dispose of all their household belongings. This has been especially devastating, as the mother is currently unable to work and has an extremely limited income. Despite her efforts, she is struggling to replace even the most basic furnishings. Her teenage children have taken on part-time jobs to help support the family.

Currently, all four family members are sleeping on air mattresses. This is not a sustainable or healthy situation, particularly for the children, and is affecting their physical and emotional well-being.

To help restore a sense of stability, comfort, and dignity, we are seeking support in securing proper beds. The family needs:

Three twin beds (including frames, mattresses, and box springs) for an elementary-aged child, a high school student, and a 19-year-old

One full/double bed (including frame, mattress, and box spring) for the mother

Any support, whether direct assistance, referrals to partner organizations, or resource guidance—would make a meaningful difference for this family.

Thank you for your compassion and consideration. Please feel free to reach out if more information is needed or if you’d like to discuss ways to assist.
