Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement
Hello! We need your help. One of our foster families has accepted a short-term placement of a teenage girl into their home. The foster child and the foster child's friend took money from the foster parents' biological sons, which totaled up to $175.00. The money is now gone, and the teenager is unable to have a stream of income at this time to pay them back. We are looking to help replace a portion of these funds for the boys and are asking for two $50 Visa gift cards. Thank you for considering to help with this need!

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing
I am writing on behalf of a single mother in our community who is currently experiencing a temporary financial hardship. She is the sole provider for her two minor children and is navigating a challenging custody battle that has resulted in significant legal expenses.
Despite these challenges, she is working full-time and actively seeking additional employment opportunities to improve her financial situation. She is committed to providing a stable and nurturing environment for her children and has been diligently pursuing community resources for support. Unfortunately, she has not yet been able to secure the assistance she needs.
This month, she is struggling to cover her utility bill, and we are humbly requesting financial assistance from the church and faith-based community to help her through this difficult time. Your support would provide critical relief and help her maintain stability for her family.
Thank you for your compassion and consideration.

Help Reunify a Bio Family
The family consists of a single father working on a reunification case plan with the Department of Family and Children Services to be reunited with his 1-year-old daughter. Although he is employed, he is currently facing reduced hours at work and is three hundred dollars short on his rent. On behalf of this family, I am requesting assistance from the community. Your support will help ensure that the father and his daughter can continue visiting his home.

We have a mom who is struggling with paying for groceries for 5 kids. We would love to give them some support to help keep the family together. Mom has been doing her best on her own to provide for her kids. We would like to get her an $100 dollar grocery gift card.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing
Walton County is looking for assistance to support a 17 year old foster child.
This child has overcome a great deal within the last few months. She was previously engaging in risky behaviors after running from her placement. After being located, she has worked very hard in services and has clear goals for herself.
She graduated with her GED in May and has just recently obtained a job with Moe's! She is interested in pursuing additional education and has been spending her time applying to schools and obtaining letters of recommendation.
At this time, she would benefit from an Amazon gift card so she can purchase non-slip shoes and black t-shirts for work.
She also advised she would benefit from having a laptop. This would benefit her with college applications and classes as she gets accepted and starts classes. When the purchase of a laptop was mentioned to her in court, she was ecstatic!
We would be very appreciative of any support we can provide this child so we can encourage her in pursuing her dreams and remaining on the current positive path she has taken.

Help Reunify a Bio Family
We have a child that is trying to reunify with their grandparents. The grandparents need help getting a twin size bed so that the child has a place to sleep. If we are able to get a bed for the family it will help speed up the reunification process. The bed is for a boy.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing
The child needs driving lessons in order to get her license. She took lessons 4 years ago and the court is ordering that she take them again. This will help her to get her license. She recently had to quit her job because Ubering back and forth to work became too expensive.
