Request: #240872 • Urgency: Normal • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Tampa • State: Florida • Zip Code: 33619 • County: Hillsborough • Submitted By: Children’s Network of Hillsborough

Story

2 Children 1 Adult

At this time, he is in his 60’ with two teenage children with disabilities. The father was previously homeless with the children and residing in the car with them around three years back. The father is able to maintain his rent but is needing assistance at this time. The leasing complex accepts payments online via their Domuso portal. Once the father submitted his $1,000 money order, it was shredded. The picture sent was not legible and therefore denied. As a result, the father is now behind $1,000 in his rent for the month of June. He is also now having to work towards being caught up for July. Please let us assist this father in preventing this family from becoming homeless again. The father is the only form of support for his two children, and they will have nowhere else to go.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

An 8-year-old-child is in need of support.

The caregiver of an 8 year old girl recently passed from Cancer. The child's aunt has been located and the girl will be moving in with her aunt and 6-year-old cousin. They are making space for the 8-year-old but are in need of assistance in acquiring beds for both children and a dresser for the 8-year-old as she is currently storing her clothing in trash bags and sleeping on the couch. This would be significant in reducing the strain on the family unit as they acclimate to their new family make-up and help the child feel a sense of belonging and normalcy after her current hardships.

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!
