Story

2 Adults

A 24-year-old man living with intellectual disabilities and legal blindness is in urgent need of a new mattress. His mother, who is also his full-time caregiver, shared that his ongoing incontinence issues have made it impossible to keep his current mattress clean. Despite her tireless efforts—scrubbing, flipping the mattress repeatedly, and using protective covers—she can no longer remove the deep-set stains or persistent odor. She expressed her frustration and heartbreak, saying she’s tried everything she can think of, but nothing works. The mattress, once comfortable, has become a source of distress. She wishes she could provide him with a waterproof mattress that would preserve his dignity and comfort, but those are financially out of reach. He currently sleeps on a queen-sized pillowtop mattress that helps ease his back pain. The box spring is still in excellent condition, wrapped in its original plastic. All he truly needs now is a clean, supportive, waterproof mattress—something his mother desperately wants for him, but simply cannot afford on her own.

Help Make a Foster Care Placement

CarePortal Community, We’re reaching out with a special request on behalf of one of our incredible Sanctuary families who are caring for four little ones, all under the age of 2. This family adopted their now 2-year-old daughter through The Sanctuary back in December and lovingly reopened their home in May to continue serving children in need. Since then, they’ve welcomed twin 9-month-old babies, one of whom has been diagnosed with shaken baby syndrome, and just this month, they accepted placement of a newborn. As you can imagine, getting out of the house with four little ones is no small task. To help make transportation and outings more manageable, we’re hoping to bless this family with a sturdy, multi-seat wagon. This would be a tremendous help in navigating daily life and would allow them to create meaningful, healing experiences outside of the home.

If you're willing and able, we would love for the wagon (Walmart link below) to be purchased and delivered directly to our Fort Bend foster office (address provided for donors). From there, one of our Sanctuary-vetted volunteers will deliver the gift to the family. Thank you for showing up in such tangible ways for our families — your generosity makes a lasting difference.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

We are working with a mother and 11 year-old son, who is on the autism spectrum, relies on specialized communication tools to express his needs and feelings. During the school year, he had access to a tablet through his educational program—an essential device that allowed him to engage, connect, and navigate the world with greater independence.

But now that summer has arrived, the tablet has been returned to the school, leaving a significant gap in his ability to communicate. Imagine having so much to say, and no reliable way to express it.

This family is in urgent need of support. They’re hoping to secure a dedicated communication tablet for him to use at home year-round. This isn’t just about equipment—it’s about dignity, connection, and giving a child the chance to thrive. If you’re able to support this request in any way—through donations, resources, or simply by spreading the word—your kindness will help lay the foundation for ongoing growth, comfort, and communication in this young boy’s life.

Thank you for taking the time to hear this family’s story. Your compassion truly matters.
