Story

•
4 Children 1 Adult

The mother of four children does not work and she receives SSDI. In an effort to keep her children out of foster care she is heavily involved with our department. The family does not have a vehicle and also does not live close to markets. The mother has been trying to utilize food pantries to support her family but she does not have a way to transport food home. A folding wire shopping cart would be incredibly helpful for this mother to bring supplies and food home to her children; it would greatly impact their lives!

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

A blessed opportunity to help a young, Christian family make it through a very difficult time in the heat of summer. A mother and father trying to secure a roof over their young children and feed their family. Tragically, the mother just lost her baby during delivery; father had to take time off from work to take care of her. He is back working but they are behind a few paychecks.

They need help to stay in a hotel for 2 weeks while they save money to rent an apartment (the apartment isn't ready yet). They could also use help with essentials and food.

If we can help them now, it will stabilize their income and resources for the future.

Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

We currently are fostering 3 children and want to continue to make their experience meaningful. We have a 12 year old girl who could use some basketball shoes (size 7.5) and probably extra socks. We also have a sibling set ( girl 2, boy 1) who could use some pajamas. She wears 3T and he’s in 18month. Diapers and wipes are always needed. Thank you so much!
