Help a mom faced with an unexpected unplanned pregnancy. Mom is currently 30 weeks pregnant and is not working at the moment. She is in need of a car seat only and is spanish speaking.

Three young children have been placed with their maternal aunt. The aunt has not started to get funding yet and has had to missing out of work due to a delay in daycare being set up. The aunt could use some additional assistance for funds to assist with the children's daily needs.

Mom is graduating the year-long Recovery program on July 17th and is working towards reunification with her 5 yr old daughter. Mom is moving into a family housing unit on the 18th and is hoping to have the home setup by the 22nd when her daughter will be coming back to live with her. Meeting this need will help Mom have a peace that the home is ready for reunification and that the child will feel safe, comfortable, and loved when she returns.

At 41 years old, this courageous mother is doing everything she can to protect and nurture her 10-year-old daughter. Both live under the shadow of fear, with active protection orders against her ex-husband. Despite the constant anxiety of being found, she remains steadfast — ensuring her daughter is loved, safe, and provided for every single day. Yet, her battle doesn’t stop there. She’s also fighting cancer that has now spread to her lungs. Chemotherapy treatments have taken a toll on her body, diminishing her appetite and energy. The one thing that helps her maintain strength — nutritious drinks — are sadly beyond her financial reach. Because of her illness, she can no longer work and lives on a fixed income. This mother never stops giving her all for her child, even while fighting for her own life. This is a call for compassion. If any kind-hearted individuals or organizations can offer support by helping her access a consistent supply of these life-sustaining beverages, it would lift an enormous financial and emotional burden from her shoulders. Let’s show her that she’s not alone. Let’s give her the strength to keep fighting — for her health, for her daughter, and for a future filled with hope.

Single mother to 3 young children (1yo, 4yo, 2yo) is requesting assistance with obtaining car seats for 2 of her children. The mother is a victim of domestic violence and no longer has access to the vehicle or car seats previously used to transport all of her children, as that vehicle belongs to the perpetrator. Her current lack of car seats is posing a barrier to the mother being able to transport the children. Her 2yo child is medically complex, and she advised she does have a car seat for this child, but not the other 2 children. The mother owns a Toyota Corolla and is requesting 2 toddler/convertible car seats (one for her 4yo who is forward facing and one for her 1yo who is rear facing), no wider than 17", so that she can safely fit all 3 car seats in her smaller backseat. Obtaining these car seats will assist the mother with being able to safely transport herself and her children in one vehicle together and ultimately would further promote the mother's capability for self-sufficiency and functional independence.

The mother needs assistance with mattresses and will then have an approved home study to reunify with her children

The caregiver has taken 3 children into her home to keep the siblings together. She has 4 children of her own in the home as well for a total of 7 children. The caregiver works full time to provide for the children and is providing a safe, stable, family like home for these children.

The 2-year-old is meeting her milestones and is getting too big for her crib and needs a toddler bed. She likes Cocomelon and the color pink.

A 46-year-old former military wife and proud mother to a service member is currently living in her car—a heartbreaking reality she’s faced since hurricanes displaced her last November. She now struggles to care for herself, dealing with serious medical issues while trying to survive alone. She wears a heart monitor, relies on a pacemaker, and needs a CPAP machine to breathe safely at night—when she can power it. Now her car has a flat tire, leaving with no means to deliver food through Uber Eats—her only income. Despite everything, she remains determined. She’s working with her Hope Navigator and other agencies to find a safer path forward, since her former career is no longer an option with her disabilities. She’s resourceful and advocates for herself daily. Her car is now her shelter and lifeline. Due to not being able to get income she needs help getting a new tire, as well as, food for herself and her service dog. She has given so much. Now, she simply needs a chance to survive.

We have a young adult who turned 18 in May. He graduated high school with honors despite multiple placement changes while in foster care. He entered our Extended Foster Care Program on his 18th birthday and applied to a local college, where he was accepted for the Fall 2025 semester! We are very proud of this young man. Due to transportation barriers, he will be doing most of his classes online and is need of a laptop computer, so we are requesting a laptop computer for him, so he can make his educational goals a reality.

Relative placement was recently made, and caregiver needs assistance with bunk beds and a dresser as she is not currently receiving any funding.

A 17-year-old young woman is courageously working to overcome significant mental health challenges that have deeply impacted her daily life. For a long time, her struggles left her unable to engage in even the most basic self-care, including regular hygiene, simply because she didn’t feel comfortable in her own skin.

But she is fighting to reclaim her life.

She has begun making remarkable strides in improving her hygiene and self-confidence. As part of her journey, she is in need of new clothing that fits her body and supports her sense of dignity and belonging. She currently wears a 3XL in pants and an XL in shirts. Hygiene items would also make a meaningful difference as she continues building routines that support her well-being.

Her mother, who is homebound due to medical issues and receives daily care, is unable to provide these items on her own. This family is doing their best with the resources they have, but they need our help to continue moving forward.

This request isn’t just for clothes and hygiene items... it’s an opportunity to affirm this young woman’s healing, growth, and worth.
