Story

1 Child

I am writing to request urgent support for a 15-year-old male who is relocating to South Carolina this Thursday to live with his grandmother. Due to ongoing family conflict, he is unable to return home following a short-term respite placement. His father has agreed to this move in order to provide the youth with the stability, structure, and long-term well-being necessary to prevent further involvement with DJJ and DCF.

Tragically, the youth’s father has discarded all of his personal belongings during the conflict, leaving him with no clothes, personal items, or essentials to bring with him. As this young man begins a new chapter of his life in a new state, he does so with nothing.

I am urgently requesting a $250 gift card to help this youth purchase basic necessities, clothing, and personal items upon his arrival in South Carolina. This support would make an immediate and meaningful difference in his ability to start over with dignity and hope.

Given that his departure from Florida is scheduled for Thursday afternoon, this is a time-sensitive request. Thank you for your prompt attention and compassionate consideration.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

The client is a young mother who recently gave birth and is working hard to care for her newborn despite facing significant financial hardship. Her Social Security benefits were recently cut, leaving her without a stable income or access to necessities. Both she and her baby would greatly benefit from support with essential items, such as food, hygiene products, baby clothes (0-6 months), and supplies. Baby laundry detergent, baby's toys, essential items, including food such as milk, bread, rice, fruits, and vegetables; hygiene products like soap, toothpaste, deodorant, and diapers; and cleaning supplies to maintain stability and meet daily needs. The client has been highly consistent and engaged in her treatment, showing strength and commitment to building a better future for herself and her child. While she has endured severe trauma in the past, including abuse and exposure to violence, her current focus is on providing her newborn with the care and stability she did not have growing up. Support through CarePortal services would help meet her immediate needs and reinforce her efforts to create a safe and nurturing home. ****Note: Center for Family Services of Palm Beach County submits this request on the client's behalf. Due to accreditation policies, we kindly request that churches meet the client at our facility, located at 4101 Parker Avenue, West Palm Beach, FL 33405. Thank you for your willingness and commitment to support our community.”

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A previous mom we helped some time ago has stated the bed we gave is now worn. A photo was provided to show that. She would appreciate a twin bed for her son (mattress and box springs and rails, or platform frame) and a comforter. This will help her son to get the sleep he needs to be healthy and feel secure.

PLEASE NOTE: RISE CHURCH CAN MEET THIS NEED WITH A BED WE ALREADY HAVE IN OUR INVENTORY. NO FURTHER DONATIONS ARE NEEDED.
