Story

3 Children 1 Adult

A mother in urgent need is staying at the Welcome Inn with her three young children, facing the risk of losing shelter tomorrow morning. Two weeks ago, she was unexpectedly discharged from a shelter and has struggled to find stable housing since. She managed to pay for two weeks at the hotel, but now options have run out. The cost for one more week is $280, and while Children’s Division has requested crisis funding, delays are impacting support.

She has been accepted into Amethyst Place for stable housing, but no units are available yet. With no family support, this mother and her children are vulnerable in the heat.

Despite overcoming domestic violence and substance abuse, she fights tirelessly for her children, especially one who needs extra care due to autism.

All she needs now is a safe place to sleep. A hotel stay of $280 for a week, or even a few days, could provide crucial stability while waiting for housing. This support would give her children a roof over their heads and buy our team the time needed to secure long-term options.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

The Ellis County Homeless Coalition is working with a mother that has two adorable little girls. She had her car pulled over off the road with car trouble and a tow truck hit her, spun the car several times, totaled the car, and has caused her extensive injury. She is a CNA, which she worked really hard to get last year, so as to better her live for her and her daughters. Her company does not have paid medical leave, so she is without pay, and needs help with some of her bills. She is hoping to get a settlement from the accident, and get caught back up to be able to move forward. She needs help with a phone bill of $48.36, due July 22, a light bill of $25, must be paid by July 30, and Internet past due, bill of $148.58. If a church would like to help her with her $670 rent, all or part that would be a true blessing. She is truly grateful for any support that can be given to her.

Help Remove an Educational Barrier for a Child

A hardworking mom who has courageously rebuilt her life after overcoming addiction is now thriving. She went back to school to continue her education, secured a full-time job, and is committed to giving her children a better future—one grounded in faith. She desires to give her children a Christian education and has been accepted into a local Christian school willing to enroll her two youngest children. A scholarship will cover most of their tuition once they are officially admitted. However, there is a $350 application fee per child, and she is still short $600. She has already contributed $100 toward the total cost, demonstrating her commitment. This request is for the remaining $600 in application fees so that her children can be given a fresh start and a Christ-centered education.

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.
