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 Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

This family situation is unique. The father passed away and left his child from a separate relationship with this client (the mother). This family started receiving services from our non-judicial team and has a safety plan they are doing well with. Shortly after this, this mother lost this child due to a drowning incident. The mother was able to get a hold of the other mother and together these women are trying to help each other survive.

This family is in need of 1 window unit A/C and food. The client knows how to cook with: hamburger meat, chicken, and pork chops. The kids snack on capri suns, cool aid, Gatorade, un sweeten tea, fruit cups, chips, and fruit snacks. Here is a link of an A/C unit that the Care Portal community was able to get for another family and it works perfectly for their space. Go To Link

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Hello Care Portal Community and Supporters! I have a family that has run into a difficult situation. A father and mother have recently started new jobs and their first paychecks were held. This came right as rent is due and now there are late fees attached and rent plus the late fees must be paid within 3 days before the family runs into an issue of evictions process starting. The family cannot pay rent until they get their checks and they are not sure when that will be. The family does not plan on this happening again as it was a circumstance of starting their new jobs and those checks being held that they needed for rent. Would anyone be willing to help this family with rent this month?

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

We are submitting a follow-up request on behalf of a family who has previously received support through CarePortal. Unfortunately, their situation remains challenging. The husband continues to be detained at Stewart Detention Center, despite the family's efforts to secure legal representation. The mother, who is doing her best to care for the family, recently had to spend $400 on an eye exam and glasses, which placed additional strain on their already limited finances. The glasses are essential to her youngest child as she receives special education services. At this time, the family is seeking support to cover a Georgia Power bill totaling $211. Any help toward this need would provide great relief and stability for the household during this difficult period. Your continued generosity and care for this family is deeply appreciated.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

The family is also in need of fans or an air conditioner, as their home lacks proper cooling during the hot summer months. With young children in the household, including a toddler, maintaining a safe and comfortable indoor temperature is critical for their health and well-being. Access to cooling would greatly improve the living conditions in the home and help the children rest, play, and thrive in a stable environment.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

the family is in need of summer clothing for the children. The 14-year-old girl wears a size medium in shirts and size 8 in jeans, while the 11-year-old boy wears a size large in shirts and size 12 in pants. Providing proper seasonal clothing will help ensure the children are comfortable, confident, and able to fully participate in summer activities. Meeting these basic needs is essential to supporting their well-being and helping them adjust during this important time of transition.
