A single mother of six is grieving the loss of her sister, who recently passed after a long time in hospice care. With limited income and difficult living conditions, she cannot afford the $2,500 needed for funeral expenses. She shared, “If we can meet this expense, we can finally lay my sister to rest and begin to heal. We wont have to worry about where the money is coming from” Losing a sister is heartbreaking, worrying about how to pay for her funeral makes it even harder. So please churches your support can bring real relief to this family in a time of deep sorrow. Any donation large or small will help lift this burden and bring peace to this hurting family.

This single mom in our program has twins who just celebrated their birthday. She recently started a new job but is still unable to afford a gift that is both meaningful and educational, which is something she truly wants for her children. While she is doing everything she can to provide for their basic necessities, things like birthday presents are difficult for her to budget for. Your support in helping her purchase a special gift for her twins would mean the world to her and would bring joy to her children on their special day.

A family is looking for support!

A family has recently accepted a child into their home, however, the family recently lost financial support. They are trying to create welcoming room and a loving a receptive home for the new addition. The following items would be of great assistance:

Recently, we encountered a situation involving a young child who was sheltered from his mother. A compassionate non-relative has stepped forward to provide care for this four-year-old boy. This caregiver already has several children of her own, each with their own special needs, yet she has graciously agreed to take in this child. Currently, she is in need of a car seat and a trundle bunk bed, as the child is sharing a bedroom with her biological child, which can only accommodate a bunk bed. At present, the caregiver is not receiving any financial assistance but is actively pursuing the licensing process. Any support in providing these items would be greatly appreciated.

Note: This caregiver was able to obtain the bedframe. At this time, she is only requesting the mattress.

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.

A family of 5 is in need of a bed for their oldest son. He is in high school and is need of a full-sized bed. The family has suffered a few set backs and are working hard to get back on their feet. Having a bed will greatly improve the quality of life for this teenage boy. Please consider helping with this need.
