Park Community Church- Bridgeport

Hi! I have a single mom who is pregnant and has another young son. They are moving apartments (about 20 minutes from each other) and needing some help with moving 2 tv stands, 2 tvs, and a queen mattress. In addition, she does not have a truck or a vehicle big enough to be able to transport these things. Would you be able to help this mom move these things? Thank you so much for your consideration!

I am requesting $1890 for a family who has been without electricity for roughly 1 month. The family consists of two children and 2 adults. The mother is unabe to work due to receiving frequent dialysis treatments and they have been experiencing ongoing financial struggles. Mom has been paying the monthly minimum of $240 to keep their electricity on but due to being in the hospital for 2 weeks, she missed her payment and now Comed is requesting the full amount due before agreeing to turn on their electricity again. The family is able to continue with the minimum payments moving forward but paying the full amount or as much as possible would greatly help the family in getting their electricity turned back on.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed I spoke to Comed today and they confirmed that the family has to pay off the full amount before they are able to get their service back. They also informed me that the total due was $1998.19 so $1,029.19 is still needed. Thank you again for all of you support!

A Caris client, an expectant mom due this August, is in need of a car seat and stroller combo for her first child. The client is currently a student, and both she and her partner are participating in professional couple’s counseling through Caris’ C25 (Conception to Age 5) Program as they prepare to welcome their first child. Caris will journey with the client and her family all the way until the child’s fifth birthday, offering counseling, community, and access to diapers, wipes, toiletries, and other essential items for both mom and child. Though the pregnancy was unplanned, the couple has been fully dedicated to Caris’ program and preparing themselves for this new chapter. Ideally, they’re looking for a car seat/stroller combination that can grow with their baby and support them throughout the early years of parenthood. This would make a meaningful difference as they balance school and work, parenting, and preparing to welcome their baby girl.

The student’s grandma asked me for help with the gas bill. Her daughter (the student’s mom) separated from her husband a few months ago and had been working extra hours until her hours were reduced. A friend invited her to work in another state, but she hasn’t been able to find a stable job there yet, and they’ve been struggling financially. The grandma brings the girl to school and is the one taking care of her, but she also sometimes takes care of another child (student's brother) who stays with her some days, and with his father others. They’ve been able to keep up with rent payments, but they need help with the gas bill. The amount is: $653.11
