Help Make a Foster Care Placement
🎉 Exciting News! The University of Florida is generously donating 50 beds and mattresses for children in foster care in the Jacksonville area! 🛏️💙
To receive and store these items, a storage unit has been rented for 6 months. 🙌 The cost for the first 4 months is already covered — we just need help covering the final 2 months.
💵 The remaining cost is only $93, and this small gift will help ensure that children entering foster care have a comfortable bed of their own.
🙏 Thank you for helping us meet this simple but important need!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family
This family has recently experienced the joy of reunification after one of the children spent time in a specialized therapeutic group home. As they work to rebuild stability and routines, two of the children will be attending a school that requires uniforms.
The mother, who is the primary caregiver, has faced ongoing health challenges that have impacted her ability to work consistently. As a result, she is under significant financial strain and is unable to afford the required uniforms at this time.
The cost of the uniforms is approximately $400 and includes 5 shirts and 5 pants for each child. Providing this support will relieve a financial burden and ensure the children are equipped with the clothing they need to attend school with confidence and dignity.
Your help will not only meet a practical need but will also be a powerful encouragement to a mom doing her best to create a stable, loving home.

Help Make a Kinship Placement
We are reaching out on behalf of a 15-year-old girl who has recently been reunified with her mother after enduring significant challenges. She has faced numerous unimaginable traumas at her age. Despite these hardships, she is working to rebuild her life with her mother, who is also navigating her own difficulties. At the moment, this young girl is sleeping in a lofted bunk bed, which is no longer suitable for her. We are seeking a bed frame, mattress, and bedding set to provide her with a safe and comfortable space to rest. It doesn’t need to be brand new—just gently used and clean.

Help Support a Youth Aging Out
We have a 15-year-old child who has recently entered the care system under specific circumstances. His behavior has been challenging for family members and other care facilities to manage. Currently, he is receiving a variety of services and counseling. Recently, he has expressed an interest in photography and college, which we believe could be a positive outlet for him.
To support his interest, we’re looking for a camera—nothing extravagant, just something he can use to practice and develop his photography skills. If anyone has a camera they no longer use and is willing to donate, or if you know of any affordable options, it would be greatly appreciated.
We understand this may seem like an unusual request, but anything that helps him focus on something positive, have fun, and take his mind off the challenges he’s faced would mean a lot. Thank you for your consideration!

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care
We have a situation where the child has been potentially moved to a long-term caregiver's home following a DCF inadequate supervision incident. The child's father deals with long-term substance abuse and is not currently able to care for the child(ren). The youngest victim child is staying with a family member here in St. John's County. The case is currently under investigation. The safety monitor and caregiver live in a home with 2 beds. The child victim is currently staying on a couch in the living room. We are asking for a bunkbed for the two children in the home, so the child does not have to sleep on the couch following this incident.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family
We are seeking a gas card for a family living in St. Johns County. The family is comprised of 4 children and 2 adults - all children are elementary-aged. They are all excited to be visiting family in the northeast this summer; however, extraneous circumstances have made saving for the trip especially difficult. The family could greatly use a gas card to help cover the cost of gas to and from their family out of state. By supporting this request, we can help a family of young children build core summer memories, help hard-working parents refresh their energy, and strengthen their bond with their extended family.

Help an Individual with Disabilities with Transportation
This young lady is doing her best to care for herself and manage her daily responsibilities, but transportation has become a major barrier. She is in need of support to help her purchase a bus pass, which would allow her to attend important doctor’s appointments, shop for groceries, and take care of essential errands. More than that, it would give her the independence and freedom to move about her community—something so many of us take for granted. A small act of help could make a meaningful difference in her journey toward stability and well-being.
