Story

2 Children 1 Adult

This family has been struggling with basic needs including grocery and regular dinners for the kids. The mom has exhausted multiple food banks, friend, and family supports. She is using the last of her canned goods to help her family. She is now facing having to sell her home potentially and move her family into a smaller apartment. She is trying to pick up extra work and still achieve all requirements set by the Department. Any help with grocery money for this month would be extremely beneficial!

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

We are requesting assistance again for the family of five who have recently faced significant medical and financial challenges. Both parents were unable to work for several months due to serious health issues, including hospitalization and a delay in receiving necessary treatment. As a result of their illnesses and loss of income, the family fell behind on rent for June and July. The parents are now on the path to recovery and working to regain stability, but they need support to catch up and avoid further hardship. We are seeking $500 in assistance to help cover their past-due rent. Our organization will also be supporting with other needs. Any contribution, big or small, would make a meaningful difference for this family during a difficult time. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A local family of five is in urgent need of support. Veronica and her husband are hardworking parents of three children. Recently, the family experienced a medical crisis that caused a serious financial setback. Veronica’s husband was hospitalized for nearly two weeks due to a severe gallbladder infection and complications in his lungs. The first hospital the family went to refused to oeprate on the father, so they seeked help elsewhere. He was able to undergo surgery at another facility, but was out of work for over a month due to his infection and illness. During this time, the mother also became ill and was unable to work as well. She has now recovered and is working full-time at a local daycare, doing everything she can to get back on track. However, during the period of hardships and unemployment, the family of 5 fell behind on their Georgia Power bill and owes $300. This family is doing their best to regain stability, but they need help to bridge this gap. Any support would be a tremendous blessing.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

A relative caregiver is needing assistance with getting a car seat and size 4T-5T pull ups for the 3-year-old cousin that was placed in their care. The child was placed in their home in the past month, and they were given a car seat that will need to be given back to the case manager. Once a car seat is received, the caregivers will not have the concerns of not having proper arrangements for travel. The pull ups are needed as well for the child, diapers are usually provided by the kinship navigator, however, their storage is currently out of that size. Due to the caregivers’ other expenses of formula and other necessities for the children, if assistance can be provided for getting pull ups, this will help alleviate any financial strain. Any assistance is appreciated
