Story

15 Children 15 Adults

🎉 Help us support vulnerable youth through the Liberty Division Sea Cadets Community Family Dance Event 🎉

We’re inviting our community to come together to support children and teens as they head into a new school year—and help give them opportunities that last well beyond the first day of class. 🙌

We’re hosting a Back-to-School Fun Day and Fundraiser to help a few of our in-need youth participate in positive after-school and weekend activities during the 2025–2026 school year. These programs help our kids build confidence, friendships, and purpose. This event is one way we show them they’re valued and supported.

We’re hoping for help covering a few basic needs to make this day possible: $100 for decorations to set the atmosphere $100 for food to feed our kids and families $100 for a DJ to bring energy and fun That’s a total of $300 to help our youth feel celebrated, supported, and encouraged before returning to school. Your support would mean the world to them—and to us. Whether it’s a donation or spreading the word, every bit helps make this special day possible. 💬 Let's come together to bless and strengthen families--boots on the ground and hearts in the mission. 💪

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

This request is on behalf of a Hope Florida participant that is a single mom. She is a devoted mother of a fourteen-year-old girl and a newborn son. They live in a modest apartment, and she is doing everything she can to create a stable and safe environment for her children. She is employed and works at FedEx and earns approximately $450 per week. She is experiencing hardship and is unable to purchase all the daily items that her baby needs. After the birth of her son, she was placed on maternity leave which significantly reduced her income. With her rent at $1,700 a month and the rising costs of utilities, food and essentials she is struggling to stretch every dollar to provide for her children. To make things even more difficult she is parenting alone without child support. She is the sole provider, protector, and nurturer. A role she fulfills with resilience, despite the emotional and financial toll. This mom is seeking assistance with diapers for her infant son. This will help with the high cost of diapers so she can reallocate what little money she has toward urgent needs-groceries, utility bills, and clothing for her daughter to return to school. Please help this family with needs and provide some financial relief to mom. Your help will allow her to stand more securely and continue pressing forward to improve a future for her family. Your support will make this possible. The prices for the items needed was obtained using Go To Link

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

Six children are residing with their aunt after being homeless for quite some time. They are working on reunifying with their parents. At this time, the aunt is in need of a trundle bed and two mattresses to fit the bed and the trundle. They also need bedding for each mattress. This must be a twin size trundle bed so that it fits the family's home. The beds will move with the children if reunification occurs. Additionally, the two youngest children are 4 and 7. A five-point harness car seat and a booster seat are needed for these children. Again, this will move with the children if reunification occurs. The aunt is very proactive and has been a support for the children for a long time. She is happy to have them in her home and know that they are safe. She is a young woman who did not expect to be caring for six children at once. Help meeting these needs would be greatly appreciated.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

Two young children were placed in the care of their maternal grandparents recently. The grandparents have a large spare bedroom for the children to share. There is closet space, but they do not have an extra dresser or chest of drawers to put the children's clothing in. They are in need of one large dresser for both of the children's clothes. Assistance with a dresser would help the placement financially, as they now have childcare expenses that they didn't have previously. A dresser will also help keep the children's bedroom clean and organized.

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.
