I am writing to request support for a dedicated mother of seven children who is currently facing financial hardships. Despite her continued efforts to provide a safe and nurturing home, she is in urgent need of new bedding arrangements for six of her children.

At present, the condition of their mattresses and beds has significantly deteriorated, making it increasingly difficult for the children to rest comfortably and get the sleep they need for their health and development. To ensure their well-being and improve their living conditions, we are seeking assistance in obtaining bunk beds and mattresses that will provide a stable and suitable sleeping environment.

We are reaching out on behalf of a mother who spent three months in a shelter at Restoration House and previously lived in unsafe conditions. The mother has secured a house through Atlanta Housing, but owes a large deposit. In the meantime, her and her two children are currently living with her sister because she does not have the money for the deposit. Living with a disability and unable to work, she needs $850 to move into her new home. She wants to remain in the area because she relies on the essential support provided by Agape. Donations are being accepted through the Agape website, and all funds will go directly to the landlord through a check issued by Agape. Any help would be deeply appreciated as they navigate this difficult period.

A single mother has a six-year-old son is requesting assistance with transportation support. She is currently seeking employment and needs a MARTA gift card in the amount of $50 to attend job interviews. In addition, she plans to use transportation support to travel to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to obtain her I.D., which is a necessary step toward gaining independence and increasing her job opportunities.

I’m currently working with a 21-year-old mother who has a 1-year-old and is expecting another child in just a few weeks. She is incredibly ambitious and resourceful, doing all she can to provide a stable and nurturing environment for her children.

Having aged out of foster care nearly a year ago, she is navigating the challenges of young motherhood with determination. Currently, she does not own a vehicle and relies on a combination of Uber and MARTA for transportation. However, the cost of commuting is becoming increasingly burdensome, especially with more frequent trips expected for newborn medical appointments.

She is requesting a MARTA card to help ease some of the financial pressure and ensure she can continue meeting her family’s needs. She recently started a job

We are reaching out in help for a first grade female student who is in need of clothing for the summer. Her dad is single, and recently stopped working and has 2 other children, but can not support them all. The student is experiencing the need for hair ties, a hairbrush, bathing suit, tops, pants, shorts, and any other everyday wear. She likes clothes that fit her well, as opposed to oversized. We can create a target wish list, and the items can be shipped to Agape, where we will then ensure she goes home with each clothing item, or we accept donations through the Agape Youth and Family website. Any help would be deeply appreciated as they navigate this difficult period.
