Request: #239990 • Urgency: Critical • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Dalton • State: Georgia • Zip Code: 30721 • County: Whitfield • Submitted By: GA- DHS

Story

•
1 Child 1 Adult

Greetings, We are seeking urgent rental assistance for a mother and her young daughter who are currently without stable housing. They need support for a three-week stay at the Whitfield Extended Stay to avoid entry into foster care for the child. The mother recently experienced a series of devastating events. Her eldest child was hospitalized and tragically passed away, during which time she also suffered a heart attack. As a result, she has been unable to work and has fallen behind on rent, leading to her eviction. She is scheduled to move into a new permanent residence on July 25, 2025, and is in the process of returning to work. The cost of temporary housing is $325 per week, totaling $975 for the full stay. Providing this short-term assistance will allow the family to remain together in safe housing during this critical period. Any support toward this request would make a meaningful impact.

Thank you for your consideration.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A hardworking single mother of four young children who is expecting another at the end of this month needs assistance with her rent and utilities for July. Her rent is roughly $1685 total with utility bills costing around $200/month (calculated after accounting for what she is able to contribute at this time).

At this time, she is unable to work and does not receive any maternity leave income so she has little financial support. She has been working diligently over the last several weeks/months to gain financial support from local agencies but has largely been met with the reply that there are no funds available.

Financial assistance towards her rent ($500) and bills ($200 to cover electricity) during this time would ensure she can focus on caring for her children and preparing for the baby's arrival rather than worrying about losing housing.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

My foster parents are currently caring for a 4-year-old foster boy whose birthday is coming up. He has mastered riding his balance bike and is ready to transition to a pedal bike. However, he may soon be placed with a family member. With that in mind, could we provide a bicycle that can be gifted to him and his family?
