Story

•
3 Children 1 Adult

The children cannot live in the home of their grandmother who can take them. They were in a single parent home and Mom died, they are staying with an 84-year-old great-grandmother in a very small home and need to get into grandmas. She needs a dumpster urgently so that she can clean out her 2-bedroom home to accommodate the kids. She has too many boxes, bins and clutter to have them live with her comfortably or safely and there are 3 kids, so it really needs to be able to have all the rooms used. PLEASE HELP!! Great Grandmother cannot keep them. Would be great if this dumpster could get delivered on MONDAY so that they can get the house cleaned out by Friday and the kids can get into the home. Great Grandmother is hanging on, but barely!! A dumpster that is going to be delivered is being arranged, we are desperate to keep the kids with their grandma they have had so much tragedy and loss.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Mother of a medically complex child is struggling to afford her rent at this time; her daughter was inpatient at the hospital for 5 weeks due to severe illness. Mother was unable to work consistently as she was needed at bedside for her daughter. Mother is working full time trying to afford their rental payment but has fallen behind on payments. Mother's bills are adding up as she tries to support her children. Any amount would help this family during this hardship!

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

This family in need consists of a single mother and her (4) children ages 7 months, 3 years, 6, years, and 10 years old. The family lives in a duplex within an apartment complex that has no AC. When caseworkers were in the home it was very hot; caseworkers were sweating so bad that they had sweat dripping off their faces. The children were also sweating and were wet (visibly) from seat. The bedrooms are located upstairs, and it was a lot hotter up there. Although mom is a recipient of services from the local DSS, she still needs some help. Mom is requesting a total of 3 fans (2 for bedrooms, 1 for living room downstairs.)

Help Make a Kinship Placement

This family is needing assistance with rent/deposit for a new home due to the family needing more space for a child they are taking as kinship placement after a life altering accident. The child needs more space for the medical equipment along with the ability for them to work with nursing, physical, and occupational therapist in the home. Assisting with the rent/deposit will allow the family to move and settle in to their new home, and allow the child to discharge from the hospital after being admitted for over 6 months. Any assistance is appreciated.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

The family consists of a father, mother, 18-year-old sibling, and two children ages 17 and 6. They are currently seeking assistance in obtaining a dumpster to facilitate with cleaning out their home which is needed before the two younger children can return home. The family would also appreciate some cleaning supplies and cleaning products to assist with cleaning the home.

The family also has multiple home repairs such as outlet replacement, roof repair/replacement, mold removal, ceilings repair and floor repairs/replacement that the father may need assistance with fixing if someone handy is available to donate their expertise and time.

The adult sibling and the mother have already began cleaning and are committed to improving the living conditions so the children can return home to a safe and clean home as soon as possible.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

The family is struggling, and an older sibling stepped in to take the younger siblings into their home. Adding three additional people into the home has created a financial burden on the older sibling, and they could benefit from a gas card and groceries.

Food bank/pantries in the area will be provided to the family as well, but in the meantime, they could use immediate assistance as the older sibling works.

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.

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!
