I have a family that lost everything to a house fire and are trying to re-furnish their household after just moving to the new place. The mother is hoping to get furniture for her and the boys to put in their living room.

A Young mother of 2 girls under the age of 4, is needing assistance with part of a non-refundable moving fee. She is moving out of an unsafe and an unhealthy property. The fee is $500, she currently has paid this landlord $ 100, to hold the property. This mom is waiting for her disability to be approved.

Currently I have a single mother who has a son who has a pending diagnosis of Autism. Mother is working full-time and providing her own housing as a single mother. The father of the family has recently passed away. Mother is currently working on finding adequate day programs in the KC metro area until diagnosis is completed. Mother has fallen behind on her light bill due to needing to buy groceries. Mother is struggling due to her financial stated being just above receiving assistance and living paycheck to paycheck. I am afraid if the bill continues to fall behind that the child would be without lights this summer and vital for him to be able to be productive and safe while at home.

I am reaching out on behalf of a family of six, four boys and one girl, who have experienced an unimaginable loss. The mother passed away suddenly and unexpectedly, leaving a devoted single father to care for his children alone. He is currently struggling to make ends meet while doing his best to provide a stable and loving home for his family.

At this time, the family is in need of a couch or couches to help create a comfortable and supportive environment in their home. Having a place where they can rest together will offer them much-needed comfort and a sense of normalcy. Any donations would be deeply appreciated and would significantly help this family rebuild both their home and their hope.

This is a big one but very necessary. Any amount you can donate helps! We have a former foster youth that was reunified with his family needing emergency surgery to remove his wisdom teeth. He is 19 and no longer qualifies for medicaid, but does not have the resources to cover this medically necessary procedure. Please consider funding any amount you can for this need. Thank you!

I have a 16 year old girl who got accepted for her 1st job and very excited to start, she reported that she will start her job this week. This youth will be needing clothing and shoes for her work. She will need a black sneaker shoes size 91/2 woman and 3 black leggings size XL woman.

This mother and her children, 9 year old daughter and just turned 18 year old daughter, have been associated with WRPC for many years. She is leaving an unsafe situation due to the father's substance abuse and needs help to cover legal fees. Mom has obtained a restraining order and is working with the Branch House Family Justice Center. She has been advised by social services that Legal Aid is not the way to go because there is a waiting list and with a child involved it is more difficult for anyone to pick up the case. Any amount will help!

Single working mom with 3 kids ages 14, 10 and 3 1/2 years old is in desperate need of temporary assistance to prevent eviction. She has previously experienced homelessness with her three minor children and is fearful of this happening again just as she was able to begin to feel secure in her new place over the past 6 months. Through no fault of her own, there was a break in pay the first week in July causing her to fall behind. The leasing company is very strict and threatening to begin eviction process, even though she has said she will have the money by the last week of this month, they want it now! The total amount needed is $2,150. Please help keep this family together in their home. Because she is gainfully employed, she will not have any problems going forward. Thanking you in advance for your anticipated generosity.

Mother had her items stolen, including her phone. She has been working hard to get back on her feet for the sake of her daughter. We are reaching out to the community for help in replacing her phone and supporting her in providing food for her daughter. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated in supporting this family during this difficult time. Mother had her items stolen, including her phone.

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.
