A Young Mother's Journey Toward Stability and Hope

M. Anderson is a determined young single mother who is doing everything she can to create a better life for her one-year-old son. Right now, she and her baby are living in her car, but that hasn’t stopped her from taking steps forward. She was recently approved for the Early Learning Coalition (ELC) program, which will enable her son to attend daycare while she searches for employment.

M. Anderson is actively seeking employment and needs clothing for interviews. She wears a size large in tops and a size 14 in pants. Her son, who wears size 4T and up, is also in need of clothes to keep him comfortable and safe during this challenging time. His diaper size is 6 and 7. While waiting for shelter placement—which has a long waitlist—she recently purchased a tent as a temporary solution. She is also in need of a gas card to help her get to job interviews, daycare, and housing appointments.

M. Anderson isn’t asking for much. She is working hard to stand on her own two feet, and any support—whether clothing, a gas card, or simply encouragement—can make a real difference for her and her son. Let’s come together to support this mother as she continues her journey toward stability and independence.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

There is a limited income family that needs storage for their medications to prevent one of their children from finding and getting into the medication. They would benefit from a medication lockbox. This would help to keep the child safe by preventing access to medications. One was found online at the following link. Go To Link

Help Reunify a Bio Family

We have youth being released from residential treatment in the next week or so and are reaching out to see if we can find a source for a punching bag. The residential facility has successfully used the punching bag and heavy bags to help focus the youths aggression and work out some of his anger. Since using this method the youth has not had any unsafe incidents. We would like to continue this therapeutic training as the child transitions home. Ideally it would be a free standing bag as we unsure the family has a secure spot to hang a bag. The 100lb bag by itself costs around $100 with a stand costing an additional $100.

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.
