Seventh Day Advents

DCF is working with a family of three children (3 years, 6 years, and 8 years), one with significant health issues (heat induced seizures, and other diagnoses') and 2 adults. The family is facing eviction at midnight (6/30/25). Family has reached out to other local agencies who stated they are out of funding. Family has gotten their waitlist letter for Hud and is applying for TBRA. The family would benefit from assistance in temp housing until they get funds on the 15th of July.

A single mother of 8 children is in URGENT need of a washer and dryer. 7 of these children are 13 and under and often find themselves changing outfits multiple times a day. Mom has resorted to washing the clothes in the bathtub and drying them out on the line and crossing the state line to do laundry at her mother's; this comes with the challenge of loading all of the children into the car and taking them with or asking her 18-year-old son, who also works, to babysit the children.

I have a mom who just lost her boyfriend. She is struggling financially and trying to clean out the house. Her boyfriend would collect everything and store it in the house. The house is completely full of junk. Due to all the expenses, she is unable to clean out the house. She is needing a large dumpster to clean it out. She is also struggling to do laundry as she has no washer and dryer. She had asked us if we could help her by taking her to the laundry mat to do her laundry, but she does not have the money. If there is any way you could help this mom so that she can do laundry and get a dumpster so that she can clean out the house, we would greatly appreciate it.

Teen who has health issues and is overweight was brought in custody due to cleanliness of the home and parental health concerns. Teen has been placed into a kinship home and is now starting to learn how to take care of his health better.

Queen beds were given to the mother and daughter. They are still in need of the rental assistance, tables and chairs and furniture dressers and a couch.

We are working with a family to get their home cleaned up and back into livable condition for themselves and their 3 children, by the end of the week--They are in need of a vacuum and/or carpet shampooer (24-48 hour rental of this item is possible, too) and 2 outdoor dog leads with stakes. This will mitigate the concerns for the dogs urinating on the carpet, in the home--once it has been cleaned.

This family is looking for some help with getting some housing so they can reunify

A widow father of 4 children 2 girls and 2 boys is needing assistance with a gas hot water tank. Due to all the recent rain their basement flooded and has continued to flood. He lost his hot water task during the process. The dad recently lost his employment but is actively looking for work. The family is now on a fixed income through death benefits. The dad does not like asking for any assistance but would be grateful if anyone could assist with a gas hot water tank.

Mother and children are living with grandmother. There have been concerns for teens in the home with some sexualized behaviors and the family is looking for help to create safety around the house by putting a door alarm and or new lock of the family's front door. This would help create a sense of security, especially with individuals the family is involved with in and out of jail. Grandmother is willing to provide security and support for the children but the only member working in the home and needs support.
