Help Remove an Educational Barrier for a Child

A teenager who has been in foster care for almost two years was able to reunify with his mother this summer. This teenager is participating in tutoring throughout the summer and will continue tutoring services through the school year. He needs additional supplies to be able to effectively participate with his tutor. These items include a laptop/computer, a desk and chair, and a printer with ink and paper. These items would greatly assist with his education and continuing to progress through school. His mother is continuing to look at options where she can find these items on her own, but would greatly appreciate any support in with these items.

Help Make a Kinship Placement

A dedicated relative caregiver is doing everything she can to gain placement of her nieces and nephews. She has opened her home and heart to keep the siblings together and provide them with a stable, loving environment.

However, there is one final requirement holding up the approval: her home has a pool, and to meet safety regulations, she must install a pool cover that meets the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard F1346-91.

To be approved, the pool cover must clearly state "ASTM F1346" in its description. This is the only remaining barrier to the children being placed in her care.

Any support in helping her obtain this specific safety pool cover would make a tremendous difference in reuniting this family and ensuring the children are placed in a safe, familiar, and loving home.

Thank you so much for considering this request.

I have attached one that would meet all the needs

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A previous mom we helped some time ago has stated the bed we gave is now worn. A photo was provided to show that. She would appreciate a twin bed for her son (mattress and box springs and rails, or platform frame) and a comforter. This will help her son to get the sleep he needs to be healthy and feel secure.

PLEASE NOTE: RISE CHURCH CAN MEET THIS NEED WITH A BED WE ALREADY HAVE IN OUR INVENTORY. NO FURTHER DONATIONS ARE NEEDED.
