Waxahachie CARE Services

This is the third time children have been placed out of the home. Fictive kin have stepped up to provide for the children although they have limited financial resources. Children are currently sleeping on the couch as there are five other children in the home. The placement family asked if there was any way to get bunk beds, mattresses, and bedding to give the kids a sense of home and feel as they reside there and not just a guest.

The father is not working, and the mother is working but can't afford a bed. They have 3 children, 8months twin boys, and 2-year-old boy. The toddler needs a toddler bed for safe sleep.

Urgent Need: New Tire for Ministry Van Supporting Moms and Babies

Our ministry van, which serves as essential transportation for the mothers and babies in our maternity home program, has experienced an unrecoverable flat tire that cannot be repaired. This van is used daily to transport multiple moms and their babies to vital appointments, employment, childcare, school, and other necessary resources that support their stability and growth.

We are requesting financial assistance to replace the damaged tire and ensure the van remains safe and reliable. This vehicle plays a key role in the success and well-being of the families we serve, and a new tire is urgently needed to continue providing consistent support.

Dear Friends/Community Members/Supporters, It is with broken hearts that we share the devastating news of the sudden passing of a child, who tragically lost her life in a car accident on July 11th, 2025. She was only 15 years old. As the family mourns this unimaginable loss, we are reaching out for help. The family needs help with funds to assist with funeral and memorial expenses, as well as to help provide some relief for the financial burdens that come with such an unexpected tragedy. No parent is ever prepared to say goodbye to their child. With your support, these parents will be able to give their daughter the proper burial she deserves, lay their child to rest with dignity, and begin the long journey of healing with one less burden to carry. Thank you for your compassion and kindness. Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers.

Children ages 2,4,5 were just returned to a young mom age 22. Children are in need of bed frames and they all have twin mattresses and mom is in need of a mattress and a bed frame.

I have a family of 6: a mom, dad, 6-year-old boy, 4-year-old girl, 2-year-old girl, and 6-month-old baby. The parents are not working, and they moved in with their grandparents. The 6-year-old and the 4-year-old need a twin bed and also to fit in the 1 room.

Children ages 2,4,5 just returned home on a monitored return and are in need of booster seats.

I am reaching out on behalf of a loving mother of two who is going through an incredibly heartbreaking and challenging time. She recently suffered the devastating loss of a pregnancy and had to undergo surgery, which required her to take several weeks off work without pay to heal both physically and emotionally. During this time, her household bills have piled up, and she has now fallen behind on her water and electric bills. She has received disconnection notices, and without immediate support, her services are scheduled to be cut off by next week. This family is in urgent need of help, and any amount of support—no matter how small—would make a meaningful difference and offer some relief and stability as they work to recover and rebuild.

This mother inherited a home from her father when he died however she has not been able to get the water on in her name. This has led to her and the children not having running water for many months. There were also many cats in the home along with a lot of stuff. Since the 2 children have been placed in foster care mom has been working hard at doing home clean up but due to the extreme condition of the house she is needing help with cleaning and with pest control. The home has fleas, roaches, and flies in it. Mom has taken many positive steps since her children came into care such as taking many cats to the shelter so that she did not have so many. She also has consistently been cleaning items and trash out of the home. Mom makes every visit to see her babies and her children are always happy to see their mom. Mom will be provided mental health resources and home maker resources to assist her in moving forward in a positive direction for her and the children's future. This sweet mother needs someone to step in and help give her a hand up in this situation.

This is a family with a single mother raising her nine children three that are school age. male age 13, male age 13, male age 11, male age 9, female age 8, and female age 7. The mother is needing assistance with getting back packs for the children. This would help the mom financially and help with her obtaining other things the children may need for school.

We have a family in need of help with food. The father is currently unemployed, but is attending a class to be an electrical apprentice to gain a career and better provide for the family. Helping the family with groceries will allow them to use other funds towards rent and electricity needs.

Mom and her six children (ages 2 y/o - 13 y/o) recently fled from her abuser from El Paso to Mansfield, Texas in the middle of the night with the help of maternal grandmother. The family now resides in a 1-bedroom apartment, and they currently do not have any beds. Grandmother recently ordered a twin bed with a pullout bed on the bottom, but they do not have any mattresses. Please help get these babies off the floor and have somewhere comfortable to sleep at night by providing 2 twin mattresses, and two blow up beds. If you can also help with blankets/pillows and mattress covers as the 9-year-old has been wetting the bed. The family would also be appreciative if you can help shampoo the bedroom carpet due to the 9-year-old wetting the floor.
