Story

3 Children 1 Adult

I am working with a single-mom survivor of domestic violence. She has 3 children- ages 16, 14 and 6. The mother lost her job back in September in the healthcare field and has been unable to gain meaningful employment since then. She had unemployment which has now ended. She receives benefits (food stamps/cash assistance) but not much. Her power was cut off last week and their food spoiled. This family is in immediate need of assistance. The mother is exasperated and overwhelmed from calling agencies to assist. She is to the point where she feels like she needs to put her kids in foster care so that their basic needs are at least met. She needs $494.35 to turn her power back on. She is also in need of immediate food assistance (non-perishable) for her and her 3 kids. Please help if you can.

We can help with this request. My wife and I are praying you. Don’t give up hope. Jesus loves you and your children. So much that he touched the hearts of complete strangers to reach out to help. And He’s not done helping you. He loves you that much.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

Mother needs Red nursing scrubs to begin her new job on Friday (7/18/25). Mother stated that she only needs one pair of scrubs to get her started on the job and then can buy more on her own once she starts getting paid. She stated that she needs a size 2XL for scrub shirt and a size XL for scrub pants and that they have to be red in color.

Mother is currently homeless and had lost her previous job. She is in need of securing the new job in order to maintain her transportation (car loan), secure housing, and ultimately get the kids back in her care. The purchase of these scrubs will ensure she is able to start her new job as she is required to wear red scrubs while working at the facility.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I am reaching out to share the story of a remarkable mother who has held onto hope and resiliency in the face of challenge. She has bravely survived multiple forms of abuse from the father of her children and has fought to heal herself and her family. Due to domestic violence and physical abuse from the father, her children were removed from the home by child welfare. Less than a year ago, they were safely reunified with their mother, and she has been working hard to overcome ongoing barriers. Now, she is facing three major needs: employment, transportation, and utility assistance. I am seeking local nonprofits and community resources for her utility bills, but the lack of transportation is preventing her from getting or maintaining a job. Her vehicle is currently in the shop, with repair costs of $1,600. A state agency had promised to match $800 if she could contribute the other half. She worked hard and came up with her $800 but was recently told that the matching funds are no longer available. As a result, her car remains unrepaired, leaving her stuck without a way forward. We are asking for any support your church may be able to offer, whether that’s contributing a portion of the $800 still needed or generously covering the full amount. This mother has expressed a desire for connection and support from a church as she continues her journey toward safety and stability. She would like direct contact with any churches who respond and her phone number can be provided.

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.
