Story

•
4 Children 1 Adult

Client is a single parent of 4 minor children transitioning into permanent housing on 7/4/2025. Family has been homeless "couch surfing" for more than 2 years and recently was approved for an apartment. During their period of homelessness, family had to give up the majority of their belongings to move in temporarily in a friends small bedroom. Client is finally able to provide a stable living situation for her and children and is need of furniture: dressers, mattress, dining table and chairs, sofa or living room seating, basic kitchen supplies and cookware. Access to these items will not only improve the family's comfort and well-being but will also support their continued success in maintaining stable housing. Furniture can play a critical role in restoring a sense of normalcy, security, and dignity for individuals rebuilding after homelessness or housing insecurity. On behalf of this client and Shields for Families we thank you in advance for your consideration in meeting the needs of this family. Arlene Andrade, Case Manager Shields for Families.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

The caregiver/maternal aunt recently obtained legal guardianship of the children after the tragic loss of their mother, following a murder-suicide committed by the younger child's father. The caregiver has expressed that the children are in need of clothing and shoes, as well as bunkbed in order for the children to have their own space in her home. These items will not bring their mother back, but it will assist with the healing process and ensuring the children are comfortable in their new normal.

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.
