Story

2 Children 1 Adult

Please consider helping a single mom of 2 little girls. Mom is unfortunately $1500 behind in rent. Her car has broken down twice and she has been unable to get her children to daycare and herself to work. Our agency is helping with the car repair. However, mom now has a pending eviction due to getting so behind in rent while not being able to work. To top things off, her air conditioner has gone out and the landlord will not fix it due to the back rent owed. Mom is securing income-based housing in 2 weeks, so we are in need of helping her to get this paid off so she can move into a stable place for her family. Thank you for considering helping this family to stay together and not lose their housing!

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

This caregiver recently received kinship placement of her two teenage nephews. She is a single parent, caring for the two teenagers on her own. The children have been in Summit County Children Services custody for 9 years, and have finally been able to reside with their family. Currently, the boys have bedrooms on the upper level of the home, and it gets very hot in their bedrooms, as the home has no central air conditioning. The family has one window air-conditioning unit for one of the bedrooms, but not the other. Assistance with either a window air-conditioning unit, portable unit, or fans, would help with cooling down the other bedroom during these hot summer months.

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.
