Story

4 Children 2 Adults

The family consists of the parents, and their 4 children, female age 9, male age 6, male age 7 and male age 17. The family is homeless and living at a motel since December 2024 as a result, of father’s work being slow and their inability to keep up with the rent for their apartment. Father was working in Monrovia selling corn and aguas frescas. Father was recently cited by for driving without a license and expired tags. Consequently, their work van was impounded, and they cannot afford to get it out. Mother had shared her children will not be attending summer school because there is a charge per child and they cannot afford it. A laptop for the 17-year-old child, would be helpful since he is not doing well in school and this will assist him with completing school assignments.  Mother and Father's dream is to have their children do well and graduate from school. A basic laptop would be a great help. Gift cards for back to school supplies and clothes would also be a great support.

Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

Hi there, we have another family who is requesting help with getting a dresser for their current foster placement. They have asked for either a tall 5 drawer or short 6 drawer dresser as the one that is currently in the room is broken and 2 of the drawers are inoperable. We do not have a preference if it is new or used as long as all of the drawers work! The foster parents also plan to keep this dresser in the room for any future foster placements. Thank you in advance!

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 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.
