Help Strengthen a Bio Family
A single mother with three children (ages 3, 19, and 22) is in need of a bus pass to support her efforts to maintain stability for her family. The family recently lost their vehicle, which has made it difficult for the mother to get to and from work, attend medical appointments, and continue her job search.
Access to reliable transportation would greatly ease the family's daily challenges and support the mother in securing consistent employment. Most importantly, it would help ensure the youngest child can attend daycare and that the household remains stable while the family works toward long-term independence. Transportation assistance at this time would make a meaningful difference in the lives of all three children.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family
A single mother of three young children is requesting assistance with beds for her children. After the children’s father left the home, the family struggled financially and was eventually evicted. The mother, along with her three minor children and her disabled mother, recently secured stable housing. However, due to the high costs of the security deposit and rent, she is unable to afford beds for the children.
The mother is currently employed and doing her best to provide for her family. Support with beds would ensure her children have a safe and comfortable place to sleep, which is essential for their health, development, and well-being. Your assistance would bring stability and comfort to this family during a time of rebuilding.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care
This request is on behalf of a young single mother with a 3-year-old child. Recently, they were involved in a car accident that left their vehicle inoperable for an extended period. Prior to the accident, the mother was earning income as an Uber driver, but she is currently unable to work without access to her car. As a result, she has fallen behind on her utility bills and is now facing an outstanding balance on her electricity account. Any support during this difficult time would be deeply appreciated.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family
Single mother of three children is in need of assistance with delinquent car payments. The parent has a child with developmental and mental health needs. She is the sole provider to this child and two siblings while working and attending college full time. This family has no other support from family, friends, or the children's father.
This caregiver is having trouble affording the rent of the home she is currently living in, as her former roommate backed out of moving in and left her with the full responsibility of the lease. Due to recent issues with her Autistic child, she had to miss work and fell behind on her car and house payments. Paying for her car loan to be brought current will allow her to have stable transportation for her and the children, as well as give her a fresh start on the remainder of her financial responsibilities.
Details of payment info will be provided to Connecting Church who takes the lead on this request. Funding is already secured. We just need a church to bless the family with making the car payment over the phone.

Help an Individual with Disabilities Improve their Wellbeing
54-year-old woman whose life has debilitating health conditions. She shares her small, cramped apartment with her daughter, who also lives with her own disabilities, and a tiny 4.5-pound chihuahua who serves as her devoted service dog. She has suffered through four agonizing knee surgeries, each one diminishing her mobility further, until she was finally left permanently confined to a wheelchair. The simplest daily tasks most people take for granted have become almost insurmountable challenges. Even in the face of such unending adversity. Trapped on the second floor of an apartment complex without an elevator, she has faced moments of humiliation and danger. Unable to climb the stairs, she once had to be carried by the fire department back up to her home—an experience that left her feeling helpless and exposed. When her health and safety demanded she move to a ground-floor unit, she did everything she was asked. She provided documentation from her physician, only to be told that even medical proof of her dire need would not guarantee any relief. She was forced to file a complaint just to be moved to the top of the waiting list. Finally, there was a glimmer of hope, and a First-floor apartment maybe available so she began packing her belongings in anticipation of a safer home. She is only asking for help to pack up her apartment in a way that will be in compliant with fire code, while she waits for her safer home on the first floor. Family is working with 123 Moving -

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement
A kinship caregiver is asking for any assistance with clothing for two children in her care. She is on a fixed income, trying to make ends meet when she took on two children in her family that needed her help. The caregiver reports the need for size 6/7 in clothing and size 12 shoes for the little boy and size 5/6 in clothing and 11 in shoes for the little girl. The caregivers are working multiple jobs to support the rising costs of caring for children that needed their help. They additionally will owe $245 for a Duke utility bill and although they have set aside the funds to support this bill, they are moving into a bigger place soon to support the two children they have taken in. Move in costs are rising and any help to support this family would be more than appreciated. Thank you for considering this family in your blessings and prayers.
