Story

4 Children

I have a family on my case with multiple youth who are placed in different homes. They do not have access to technology and are only able to communicate during sibling visits once a month. They have shown interest in becoming pen pals and writing postcards to the other sibling. I am looking for anyone willing to supply 2 postcard stamp books to help the family get started in this process

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

There is a limited income family that needs storage for their medications to prevent one of their children from finding and getting into the medication. They would benefit from a medication lockbox. This would help to keep the child safe by preventing access to medications. One was found online at the following link. Go To Link

Help Reunify a Bio Family

We have youth being released from residential treatment in the next week or so and are reaching out to see if we can find a source for a punching bag. The residential facility has successfully used the punching bag and heavy bags to help focus the youths aggression and work out some of his anger. Since using this method the youth has not had any unsafe incidents. We would like to continue this therapeutic training as the child transitions home. Ideally it would be a free standing bag as we unsure the family has a secure spot to hang a bag. The 100lb bag by itself costs around $100 with a stand costing an additional $100.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A parent here at the Mission needs underwear and bras, and we don't have any of these items in her size. Her two children also need summer clothing and shoes.

This family has been with us for a few weeks, and the items they brought in with them need to be discarded. We believe that every single person has sacred value, and we do all we can to preserve the dignity of the clients at the Mission. A key way we preserve their dignity is to give them the essential items they need.

The parent wears size M in ladies' underwear. Her bra size is 32A. We never receive this size when we get donations.

The children's sizes are as follows: *5t for girl's pants, shirts , dresses, and shorts. *7/8 for boy's pants and shirts. *Girl size 8 in shoes. *Boy size 2 in shoes.

We have requested clothing from Note in the Pocket for another family, and it took a month to get the items delivered. Our hope is this request will ensure this family has their essentials much more quickly.

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.
