Story

2 Children 2 Adults

This client is in need of assistance in paying for all or part of her application fees for a US Green Card. She is actively working with a lawyer who told her she will need to pay for the I-130 and I-485 applications through the Department of Homeland Security that will cost $675 and $1,440.

The client is married to a US citizen which makes her ineligible for public assistance in paying these fees. The client has a daughter from her first marriage and is pregnant with the child of her current husband. The father of her older daughter passed away and her current husband is in the process of adopting her daughter which has been a large expense for their family. The client is in the US legally but is experiencing fears around being deported and separated from her husband and children. She is applying for a Green Card so that she can stay in the United States with her family. The client and her husband both work full-time and are able to pay their monthly expenses by also utilizing community resources like food shelves and First Care. Both the client and her husband are believers. Their paperwork should be ready in the next week and the only thing they need to move forward is the funding needed to apply.

If you were to fulfill this request, you would provide payment by going with the client to her lawyer's office and putting your CarePortal debit card information on the application.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

Hello, I have a case with 5 children who are placed with their grandmother in Georgia. She is a single person who took in 2 pre-teens and 3 young children including a baby. She is doing well making that adjustment and has some help from her other adult children when it comes to taking care of the kids, but could use some assistance with things like diapers, wipes, hair products, clothes and school supplies as the next year is coming up. Being that they are in Georgia a gift card would be excellent. She is able to purchase all of these supplies at Walmart and would appreciate anything that could help with some of the financial need of these 5 children. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Good afternoon, Community Church Members! We are working with a young mother of a 1 year old girl. The mother is limited in resources at this time and needs assistance with a highchair. This would provide another area for the child to eat and would help the mom with providing items for her child. Your support and assistance are always appreciated. Thank you!

Help Reunify a Bio Family

Hello, please help a mother with transportation. This mother is struggling to pay for bus fares due to her current lack of employment. She does her best to make it to every visit and appointment no matter what time, or how difficult it is for her to make it. This bus pass would help make sure she can make it to visitation, parenting classes, therapy sessions, drug tests, and doctors' appointments. Thank you so much for your generosity and help in bringing this parent closer to reunification.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I’m requesting financial support on behalf of my client so she can pay for her monthly supply fee for her current residence at the sober living. If she is able to pay her past month and this current month she will have less restrictions on the hours she is allowed to be out of the home.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

The child (7 years old) is currently placed with her paternal grandmother. The child was placed with the grandmother with no clothing that fit and has needed a new wardrobe for clothing. The grandmother receives a monthly stipend but it was not enough for new underwear, socks and shoes which the youth needed. A gift card to Walmart or another clothing store would help offset the budget that the family is currently working from. Anything really would be helpful to support the family! Thank you!
