Story

1 Child 2 Adults

The child worked with us for quite a while as we sought to identify the source of her not wanting to go to school. She was struggling badly and had been an ideal student. Her parents worked tirelessly with CD and the STEPS program to get her compliance with attendance, but a formal IEP cannot be established until the new school year, and she has had to go to " home based learning".

Her Mom and Dad wanted to keep her in the program through the summer, as it was necessary, so she did not regress in her attendance, but that summer involvement has meant a private tutor, and they need help to pay the remainder of what the tutor is owed.

Tutor has helped her catch up, parents have been wonderful, and support the child, and they are out of money for this, but it is needed so she doesn't start school with excessive absences like last year. Without this tutor it is strongly believed that she will regress in her program and then will not be able to physically get to school in the new year which will prevent her from having enough contact time for an IEP. The child only trusts this person and this person has helped her immensely. She received a formal diagnosis of autism, finally so the family are relieved that they have an answer, and they have been wonderful in supporting their daughter, they are not teachers though.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

A family of four is sharing a small studio apartment where both parents sleep on separate love seats, their oldest daughter rests on a broken toddler bed, and their youngest sleeps in a pack‑’n‑play. To make the space more comfortable and functional, the parents are requesting a full‑size air mattress that can be stored during the day, along with two toddler beds for their daughters. The youngest child also urgently needs size 5 diapers, baby wipes, a stroller, and a convertible car seat, as she has outgrown her current infant seat. Any assistance with these items would greatly improve this family’s living conditions and overall well‑being.

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.
