Story

3 Children 3 Adults

I have a mom on my caseload with 3 children. She is currently seeking employment and needs her own transportation. She has been sharing a car with the children's bio dad but it has become impossible for her to get a job with the limited time she has access to the car. She was recently given a used car from her dad and has requested help with getting a plate and tags, first month insurance and 2 car seats. Mom has 2 vouchers to get car seats at a local fire station and can get the car seats for $25 a piece. Please consider this request to help this family gain independence and help this mom with transportation to help support her children. Gift cards can be used to fill this need.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

This request is to support the transportation needs of a mother with three children. This is an urgent one-time financial request to support their mother with obtaining her car from repossession, which will allow her to continue her job and the children to continue to attend daycare while their mom works.

She has made arrangements and a financial plan with her lender and needs to get her account current in the next 2 days in order to prevent it from going to auction. This is an incredibly hard working single parent who works full-time and cares so well for her children's needs. The kids attend a daycare center in Jenison while their mom is at work. She fell behind with her car payments due to paying for summer daycare for three children. Even with DHHS childcare assistance, she still has additional payments that she must make for daycare as well as the rest of their daily expenses. She thought that she had more time to catch up with her car payments and learned today of the time urgency.

A Western Union transaction is needed to make this payment directly to the lender as a third party. This one time financial relief would make all of the difference for this family. This mom has successfully navigated many challenging situations and will be responsible in managing her finances with this support. More information will be shared if filling the need, including the lender's number to call to assist with payment.

Thank you for considering this request.

Help Make a Foster Care Placement

We are requesting support for two young siblings who were recently placed in foster care due to parental substance use and incarceration. The children entered care with very few belongings and are in need of clothing and shoes as they adjust to their new environment.

The younger child is a girl who wears size 8 in girls’ clothing and a size 2 in shoes. Her older brother wears size 8/10 in boys’ clothing and a size 1.5 in shoes. Providing these essentials will help ensure they are comfortable and feel cared for during this difficult transition.

Any assistance—whether new or gently used items—is deeply appreciated and will go directly to support these children as they begin this new chapter.

Thank you for your compassion and support.

Single mother has 4 guardianship children and 1 foster child. She is currently recovering from a recent surgery and cannot work. The air conditioning in her 2009 GMC Denali has gone out and she does not have the funds to get it fixed. The initial amount we found may be close to $1500 or more. We are asking for $200 to get the process started by diagnosing the issue.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

Single mom of 3 is expecting a baby girl at the beginning of August and needs assistance with items for her newborn. This is a mother that we've worked with in the past who is reaching out in hopes that we can help her provide items for her newborn baby to come home to. She is very hard working and does all she can to provide for her babies but as a single parent is struggling to secure the supplies she needs for her baby on the way. Any contributions to provide relief would immeasurably encourage and strengthen the welfare of this family.

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.
