Help Remove an Educational Barrier for a Child

$2,750.00 still needed

Request: #240446 • Urgency: Normal • Demographic: Multi-Family Request • City: Fresno • State: California • Zip Code: 93704 • County: Fresno • Submitted By: Fort Miller Middle School

Story

250 Children

At Fort Miller Middle School, too many of our students walk through the gates carrying their books and supplies in plastic bags—or sometimes with nothing at all. Their families are doing their best, but the cost of a backpack is simply beyond reach. This isn’t just about a bag—it’s about giving students the confidence to walk into class prepared, proud, and ready to learn.

A backpack can be the difference between a child feeling like they belong and feeling left out. It’s a small investment that removes a huge barrier. When students have the tools they need, they show up stronger mentally, emotionally, and academically.

Join us in ensuring that every Fort Miller student starts the school year with dignity, hope, and a backpack they can call their own. Your support can go a long way to achieving their greatest potential!

Special Instructions

We hope to get these in by August 14, 2025, for our orientation before school starts.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

The client is a young mother who recently gave birth and is working hard to care for her newborn despite facing significant financial hardship. Her Social Security benefits were recently cut, leaving her without a stable income or access to necessities. Both she and her baby would greatly benefit from support with essential items, such as food, hygiene products, baby clothes (0-6 months), and supplies. Baby laundry detergent, baby's toys, essential items, including food such as milk, bread, rice, fruits, and vegetables; hygiene products like soap, toothpaste, deodorant, and diapers; and cleaning supplies to maintain stability and meet daily needs. The client has been highly consistent and engaged in her treatment, showing strength and commitment to building a better future for herself and her child. While she has endured severe trauma in the past, including abuse and exposure to violence, her current focus is on providing her newborn with the care and stability she did not have growing up. Support through CarePortal services would help meet her immediate needs and reinforce her efforts to create a safe and nurturing home. ****Note: Center for Family Services of Palm Beach County submits this request on the client's behalf. Due to accreditation policies, we kindly request that churches meet the client at our facility, located at 4101 Parker Avenue, West Palm Beach, FL 33405. Thank you for your willingness and commitment to support our community.”

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I am reaching out on behalf of a loving mother of two who is going through an incredibly heartbreaking and challenging time. She recently suffered the devastating loss of a pregnancy and had to undergo surgery, which required her to take several weeks off work without pay to heal both physically and emotionally. During this time, her household bills have piled up, and she has now fallen behind on her water and electric bills. She has received disconnection notices, and without immediate support, her services are scheduled to be cut off by next week. This family is in urgent need of help, and any amount of support—no matter how small—would make a meaningful difference and offer some relief and stability as they work to recover and rebuild.

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.
