Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care
We are submitting this request because a very wonderful church community discovered an unmet need for our family (a young, single mom raising a toddler.) The dressers she has for herself and her baby are inadequate to the task and need to be replaced. Our family is incredibly grateful for the assistance she is receiving and that gratitude translates to more energy for the important things she is doing to improve life for her son. He will grow up in a family that knows gratitude -- an important foundation of spiritual fitness.

This young mom gave birth to her baby prematurely and has therefore not had enough time to prepare for his arrival into this world. She unfortunately does not have the time to work as she is enrolled in school full-time to get her education. She is requesting some baby wipes, size 3 diapers, baby bottles, baby formula (any amount is fine as long as it’s Enfamil please) and some snacks for when she doesn't have the time to feed herself.
