A wonderful husband and wife team accepted the responsibility of kinship foster care, bringing the total number of children in the home to 7. With so many dependents in the home it is very difficult for mom to work during the day, resulting in loss of income and financial stress that is affecting the whole family. This family reached out for assistance and requested help as they need to purchase clothes and shoes for the kids. Your help will make a big difference as they are getting ready for the start of the new school year. Thank you!

A teen girl is the oldest of 8 siblings. Her mother got admitted to a substance residential treatment 6 months ago, and is currently there. The teen is with her maternal grandmother. The grandmother is doing her best providing for the children she has in her custody, however, not enough to purchase a laptop for the teen girl. She is 17 years old, and failing in her academics. She only has 2 high school credits as an incoming senior. For months now, she stopped going to school, and is facing discharge from Broward County School Board. As of last month, there has been a shift in her behavior, thanks to The Education attorney, assigned to the case. They have assisted her in getting a job a Publix, and started working on her GED. The teen has completed Math, Reading, and science GED Prep test on the attorney's computer, however, she will need her own laptop for the course. The teen has proven herself to wanting to get serious about her future. She realized that she will not get a high school diploma due to lack of credits, and getting her GED while the case is open is her last chance to succeed before she turns 18. Assistance with a laptop will change the trajectory of this teens life and confidence.

We have a disabled mom, her partner and their 3 children (17,15,4) that are facing a temporary financial setback. Their monthly income consists of disability benefits for mom and her partner's employment, but due to their only vehicle breaking down and the cost of repairs that has exceeded their budget, they are now short on rent. Unfortunately, the landlord will not help them and has given them a 3 day eviction notice. They only have a portion of their rent and are in need of an additional $817. THey have 2 days left to come up with the funds. Please pray for this family and if you can assist in any way please let me know.
