Rotary Club of Orange Park Sunset

This family has been working with our non-judicial unit for a while now and making great progress. The mother is blind, we requested some fans for their home but they did not end up moving like we originally were hoping. So now, we are requesting a bit more of a substantial and permanent solution for their home. IF we can get 1-2 window A/C units that would be amazing. The fans have helped circulate the air and have been extremely helpful and will continue to be used. But cool air would be awesome for them.

A hispanic family of 5 is in need of two dressers. One to organize clothes and one for medical supplies. The family has a child with serious medical problems and requires a lot of extra medications, feeding tubes, etc. These dresser will help the family out very much!

At just 54 years old, her days are shaped by the constant weight of pain—crippling arthritis, diabetes, and congestive heart failure have taken much of her mobility and independence. She leans heavily on a bariatric rollator-walker just to navigate her small home and the few corners of her community she can still reach, inch by inch. She lives on SSDI, stretching every dollar to cover basic bills and what little food she can afford. Every month is a quiet battle between survival and dignity. Recently, a rare visit from someone brought an unexpected heartbreak: bed bugs. In her effort to rid her home of the infestation, she was forced to throw away nearly everything—her bed, her dressers, and all her bedding. What little she had is now gone. Now, she sleeps without a real bed, her clothes without a place to belong. Because of her health and size, replacing these things isn’t simple. She needs a sturdy mattress and box spring, a proper bed frame, and dressers to hold what few belongings remain. She’s not asking for much—just a chance to rest again, to reclaim a small measure of comfort in a life already burdened with too much loss.

My client is a single mother of a young girl with health challenges. Her child is currently sleeping on a stained bed in poor condition and is too small for her growing frame. They are requesting a complete queen-size bed set to improve her sleep, health, and dignity. New or gently used would be deeply appreciated. Suggested items from Amazon are listed below.

Single foster parent (female) moved into an apartment to provide a more livable and healthier environment for the foster child, her nephew. She stated the 6-year-old male has a cot like bed on a frame that doesn't fit. She has used most of her resources for the move. (We all know how expensive it is to move!) She is requesting a twin mattress and bed frame along with bedding. (He likes dinosaurs and leggos.) This child has been through a lot and here is an easy way to express love and care. Having his own bed and bedding will make him feel cared for and loved. Twin comforter sets include the sheets.

I'm reaching out on behalf of a foster parent who has recently taken in a non-verbal autistic child. As you can imagine, the transition has come with unique challenges, and they could really use our help.

The child is in urgent need of the following:

Clothing: (14-16) Shoes unknown at this time Pull-ups: XXL Sensory toys (items like textured toys, fidget tools, chewable necklaces, etc.) I have pictures of the sensory toy items if needed

This is a grandmother and grandfather who have taken custody of 5 of their grandchildren due to their parents losing custody via DCF. The grandmother is able to work and does full time at Publix. She also runs a small handmade jewelry business. but the grandfather is physically disabled and trying to get SS benefits. He takes care of the home and the children while the grandmother works. The 3 mattresses burned due to a small ember flying in through an open door. Their income barely covers their expenses, and their support system is unable to get these mattresses for them.

These mattresses do not necessarily need to be brand new, but if they are not new, lightly used would be preferable!

Support Needed for Our Student Self-Sufficiency Home

We are preparing to expand our Student Self-Sufficiency Home, a safe and supportive space for homeless and unaccompanied youth in Clay County who are 18 years old and working hard to finish high school. This home will provide stability, dignity, and the foundation they need to succeed—and we need your help to make it possible.

As we expand to serve more students, we are seeking donations of household items to furnish and equip the space. Currently, we are in need of:

2 refrigerators, 3 desks and 3 desk chairs, 1 Full Sized bed, 1 side table, and 1 dresser, 2 mattresses, 1 television, 6 pillows, 3 full-sized sheet sets and 3 comforters, 3 sets of towels and washcloths, 3 Set of Mattress Protectors, Household essentials such as laundry detergent, soap, paper products, and cleaning supplies

We kindly ask that all furniture be new or gently used, and linens and personal items (such as comforters, towels, and pillows) be new for hygiene and safety purposes.

If you’d like to support but do not have items to donate, gift cards to stores like Walmart, Target, or Amazon are also incredibly helpful and appreciated.

With your help, we can provide a safe and welcoming home for students who are determined to overcome challenges and finish their education. Thank you for being part of the solution!

Please assist this young mother and father of one. The father lives across town and would benefit from a gift to uber to and from the mother's home in order to visit his young child, he does not have reliable transportation. The mother does have a car but has to work, attend her own doctor appointments, and counseling appointments. Somedays, the mother does not have energy to transport the father as she is battling postpartum depression and simply lacks the energy some days to transport the child to the father or the father to the child for visitation.

Please assist this single mother of three with a gift card to help her purchase cleaning supplies and a laundry card to do laundry in her complex. The mother's home is in disarray and the mother could use financial assistance for the ability to wash soiled clothes (causing the home to smell), purchase detergent, bleach, garbage bags and load money on to her laundry card in order to wash clothes.

The family is trying to get their home safe from environmental hazards. Allowing possible reunification with the child and parents. However, in the child's bedroom is a cardboard covering a missing window. The family is requesting a window replacement of measurements 29.5" X53.5" or 30" X 54" The home material is a mobile home. Please ensure this window is accessible for emergencies in the event of a fire.

Thank you so much, as this allows a safe bedroom for the child to return home to.

The child could also use extra storage in her bedroom for clothes. For example, plastic cabinets with drawers or wooden framed.

The grandmother has welcomed her grandson into her home. Resulting in her to not be able to gain employment as she is the caregiver to an infant. The grandmother is asking for assistance with food for the household. The grandmother is not picky and only requests no pork. While the child enjoys beech nut purees of sweet potatoes and carrots. It is suspected that the child may be allergic to bananas, so please no bananas.

I thank you for your generosity. As does this family.
