Story

1 Child

A youth is in need of support after recently moving in with a non-relative caregiver on short notice due to an unexpected change in living arrangements. The caregiver was not anticipating the youth's arrival and is working to quickly accommodate her basic needs. Gift cards for groceries will help ensure the caregiver can provide the youth with consistent meals, meet nutritional needs, and ease the financial strain during this transitional period. Meeting this need will support the youth’s stability and well-being as she adjusts to her new home environment.

You is from San Mateo County and will be staying with non relative in Alameda, CA

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.
