Story

•
2 Children 1 Adult

Seeking help with payment of an electric bill for a mom of a 31/2 year old and 5 month old infant who lost housing due to not having income due to birth of her child. At the time of connecting with our organization mom was experiencing post partum depression, had no support, was isolated and homeless. For the past month we have been hosting her children so that she could work double shifts. She is doing much better and is close to being able to live independently with her children again. She has been approved for an apartment and just has one more electric bill to pay to allow her to move in and reunite with her children. Mom has worked hard to improve her health and to achieve her goal of housing for her family.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A single mom with two children one with asthma have had their electric turned off for over a week. They have an appointment to try and get assistance but they have been told they have the back charges paid off. This mom has been struggling for awhile. She has been fighting with her rental company because their is mold in the apartment and it is affecting her child's asthma. Now with no air conditioning and the heat her child's asthma is even worse. They are not fixing it. Was trying to get her kids in a summer program so she could work but the one they got into had some problems and they couldn't go to camp for awhile. With everything this family has been going through they really just need help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

The caregiver/maternal aunt recently obtained legal guardianship of the children after the tragic loss of their mother, following a murder-suicide committed by the younger child's father. The caregiver has expressed that the children are in need of clothing and shoes, as well as bunkbed in order for the children to have their own space in her home. These items will not bring their mother back, but it will assist with the healing process and ensuring the children are comfortable in their new normal.

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.
