We are reaching out to request assistance with room decor for a child currently in foster care. This child, who is 7 years old, is incredibly friendly and energetic, always full of enthusiasm and excitement. Recently, the foster family was able to secure a new bed for the child through a Care Portal request, which has made a significant improvement in the child’s living space. However, the child has expressed a desire to personalize the room further and create a space that feels more comfortable and truly their own.

After surviving abuse and escaping her trafficker, this survivor has a chance to start a new life. Nine years ago, she became homeless after losing her job and being evicted with her young son. With nowhere stable to go, she sent her son to stay with a friend temporarily. During this vulnerable time, she fell into the hands of a trafficker. That same friend later convinced her to sign over guardianship of her child, which became permanent. After suffering a brutal assault at the hands of her trafficker, she was determined to break away and rebuild her life. Despite her securing employment, the cost of child support and housing costs, made reuniting with her son difficult. She entered the Orange County Rescue Mission, completed court-ordered therapy, parenting classes, and drug testing, earned her GED, and enrolled in college, all while fighting for custody for her son. Today, she has been approved for Section 8 housing and finally secured a safe, stable apartment. However, before she can move in, she needs a few essential items: a refrigerator and a mattress. With your support, we can help provide these basics, and with them, restore hope, dignity, and the foundation for a fresh start. Once she’s settled into her new apartment, she plans to petition the court to end the guardianship and reunite with her son. Your generosity can help make this life-changing moment possible. Thank you for being part of her journey toward healing and security. Please select"FUND" when donating.

One of my young children from my case load, asked me for a vanity dresser and a sofa. She needs the vanity dresser for her room because she doesn't have one, and it would allow her to get ready and do her makeup. As for the sofa, she requested it because the ones in the living room are very worn out.

A devoted grandmother, currently caring for her two young grandchildren (ages 7 and 6), recently had a mild stroke. She now needs to focus on getting better and has had to take time off from her hourly job. This has caused her income to drop, making it hard to cover important expenses. Any help during this tough time would really ease the financial pressure. It would help her pay for things like her mortgage,household bills, food, and grand children’s daycare. This would also give her peace of mind so she can take the time she needs to fully recover and strengthen her health.
