2 Children 1 Adult

Mother needs a table with four chairs a sofa that seats two. Mother has been going through financial struggles after loosing her job and being evicted from the family’s previous home. She continues to actively look for work but has not been successful. The family continues to go through the ups and downs of the flare ups and emotional fluctuation of processing abuse. Mother has continued to actively support the child, and with her support, the child who has a known language delay has been able to process and learn to express herself more using her expanding vocabulary. Mother ensures that both her son and daughter attend all Wraparound services. The family was left homeless after mother could no longer work to care for the children as she was unable to leave the home where the abuse occurred. The family ended up being evicted and later spent months awaiting their turn for a shelter. Mother was unable to keep any of her hard earned belongings and now that she was able to find a new home she is need of the noted items to finish furnishing their new home. DCFS is requesting a table and a sofa, in order for the family to be able to have these essential items in their home. This need is critical to ensuring that the family is able to bond and feel comfortable in the home. The estimated cost of the needs being requested is an estimated amount of $400 for a sofa or love seat and $350 for a dining table that seats four. For an estimated total of $750.00.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I am reaching out on behalf of a mother who is in a deeply difficult and heartbreaking situation. She is currently pregnant and caring for her six young children at home. As she nears the end of her pregnancy, she has been facing serious complications that have left her unable to work. Despite her best efforts, she has used nearly all of her savings just to keep a roof over her family’s head. Now, with her due date just days away, she has run out of resources and is at risk of losing her home. This mother is doing everything she can to protect and care for her children, but she desperately needs help. Any financial support during this critical time would mean the world to her and her children and could be the lifeline that keeps them safe and together.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

62239047- Support Needed for Grandmother Caring for 4 Grandchildren with Special Needs This family has been helped through CarePortal in the past, and the outcome was amazing according to the family. The loving grandmother has now become the full-time caregiver for her four grandchildren, ages 4 to 12. She took them all in out of love and commitment, but as a retired caregiver on a fixed income, she is struggling to meet all of their needs.

All four children are on the autism spectrum and have specific food preferences. They enjoy foods like Pop-Tarts, fruits, beef, chicken, and Lunchables. With the rising cost of groceries, it's challenging for the grandmother to afford the foods they will actually eat. She is requesting Gift cards for food.

Any support for this family is deeply appreciated. Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity. Blessings!

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.
