Help Support a Youth Aging Out

I'm reaching out on behalf of a resilient young man currently navigating life as a Non-Minor Dependent (NMD), working hard to build a future for himself in the trades. Despite limited resources, he shows up every day, borrowing tools from co-workers just to get the job done. This dependence, though met with kindness, leaves him vulnerable and often unable to work independently. With a basic set of tools of his own, he would gain not only the ability to fully perform his duties but also a sense of pride, stability, and ownership in his growing career. Your support would not just provide equipment—it would empower a young man striving to stand on his own feet.

Help Support a Youth Aging Out

"The non-minor dependent (NMD) came to the attention of DCFS and the Court when she was in the 4th grade. She was removed from both parents due to their severe mental health challenges and homelessness. A church member later became her legal guardian and cared for her until she graduated from high school and enrolled in college.

Unfortunately, due to her own mental health struggles, she was unable to complete her first semester and withdrew from college. She temporarily returned to her former legal guardian’s home, where she has stayed for the past 10 months. However, the guardian’s family is now facing their own challenges and has asked her to move out by 6/30/25.

The former guardian helped her find a small, rented room near their workplace and continues to support her transition to independent living. Although the NMD is still struggling with mental health and independence, she is motivated and willing to work toward full self-sufficiency over the next year.

She is in need of a twin-size bed and other basic household items to settle into her new space. "

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Hello, a family in the community is in urgent need of a vehicle. This single mother of four children has remained resilient and hopeful despite countless setbacks the family has faced. The family lost their previous vehicle due it to being totaled in an accident. This barrier has resulted in missed or pushed-back appointments, due to minimal social support in the area. This family is very motivated to accomplish goals, and this would be an amazing support to the family! *Note, oldest child is 12 years old, thus a 5-person vehicle would be sufficient.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

HeartReach received a call from a client asking if we could help her obtain a twin size bed for her fast growing 3 1/2 year old daughter as she has outgrown her toddler bed. She is actively engaging with support services and doing an amazing job building a healthy life for herself and her daughter. Her income is limited and she shared that her boyfriend's hours were recently cut at work and they are feeling the strain on their finances. After chatting with her further it was determined that she would also need the bedding and pillow to go with the new bed frame and mattress. She shared that her daughter loves pink and blue, unicorns, Stitch, Bluey and Care Bears.

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!
