I am currently working with a young, hard-working, pregnant mother of 1 who is about to lose all of her personal belongings This sweet mom unfortunately lost all 3 of her jobs and got evicted all within the span of a month earlier this summer. Nonetheless, against all odds, this mother has continued to make a way for herself and her daughter without any employment while also working to finish school. This mother has thankfully finally obtained a job, however, unfortunately her start date is not until next month and her storage unit payment is already past due. Everything this mom owns of hers and her daughters is in this storage unit and losing this would set her back so much further, as she cannot afford to buy more clothes, furniture etc. at this time. This mother is working so diligently to get back on her feet and to bring stability back to her daughter's life and just needs a little help until she obtains her first paycheck. Any little bit helps so that this mom does not lose all that she owns in an already overwhelmingly trying season. Thank you for your time.

The family is seeking assistance with their utility bill. Mom and her partner have faced financial challenges due to recently switching jobs and moving into a new apartment to provide more space for their three children (two girls and one boy, ages 12, 13, and 16). The family has been cooperative with the agency and is maintaining employment. The transition into new jobs and the move have strained their finances. Mom has a strong work ethic, but unforeseen circumstances have arisen, and they require assistance for this month only. This support would strengthen the family bond, positively impact the children's well-being, and help them thrive in a supportive and stable environment.

A youth in extended foster care has recently moved by himself to his college dorm. He is a full-time student and employee who is trying his hardest to live a normal life fresh out of foster care. He is making great strides as a young adult in the real world but needs a little extra support with the more expensive necessities. Any help will be appreciated.

I have a couple who have an 8 month old boy. They are financially struggling due to mom not being able to work due to her mental health. Dad is working, but he doesn't even make enough to cover their bills. They are looking at moving in with their support system until they are financially on their feet, but haven't been able to do so yet. We are working with the parents to file for Medicaid, SNAP and WIC, but they are in immediate assistance of formula for their baby. Maybe about a month's worth, so 6-8 cans until we can get her on assistance. He uses Similac 360 Total Care (Dark Blue bottle with a gray top).

I am reaching out on behalf of a mother who is in a deeply difficult and heartbreaking situation. She is currently pregnant and caring for her six young children at home. As she nears the end of her pregnancy, she has been facing serious complications that have left her unable to work. Despite her best efforts, she has used nearly all of her savings just to keep a roof over her family’s head. Now, with her due date just days away, she has run out of resources and is at risk of losing her home. This mother is doing everything she can to protect and care for her children, but she desperately needs help. Any financial support during this critical time would mean the world to her and her children and could be the lifeline that keeps them safe and together.

A father has began to care for his daughter who has many behavioral and mental health needs. The mother is no longer in the picture. The father has had to cut hours at work to provide for his daughter. Father was living out of his semi truck and since obtained an apartment for him and his daughter. He does not have furniture in the home. He has provided an air mattress for his daughter and himself. He has requested assistance with a bed and bedding for his daughter, so she is no longer sleeping on an air mattress.

I'm reaching out on behalf of a loving family doing their best to support their twin babies a boy and a girl during a very difficult time. Their daughter has been wearing a DOC band (cranial helmet) to help correct a physical developmental issue. She now needs another head measurement and may require a second helmet to continue treatment. Mom and Dad were able to pay for the first helmet, but with rising costs and the demands of caring for newborn twins, they are currently seeking support to help fund the next stage of their daughter’s care. Alongside these challenges, Mom has been struggling with postpartum depression, working every day to care for her babies while also navigating her own mental health journey. The family is living with Dad’s parents, who have been an incredible support system. They are doing everything they can, but they need a helping hand right now. Whether it’s through financial help, resource referrals, or simply sharing their story, any support can make a big difference in their lives. Thank you for standing with this family and giving hope to a little girl who just needs a chance to grow strong and healthy.
