West Los Angeles Christian Center

Relative caregiver is Maternal Great Grandmother to 1 1/2 year old boy. Child was recently placed as a result of a DCFS investigation alleging physical abuse to 2 month old siblings (twins) by parents. Due to expediency of emergency placement, the caregiver was not adequately equipped and is found in need of a dresser to store child's clothing.

This family came to the attention of DCFS due to allegations of domestic violence by father against mother in front of their two children. There is a boy, age 6, and a girl, age 4. Mother has recently relocated herself and the children to a new home without father. Mother has limited resources and is in need of a sofa bed, twin bedding set including comforter and a king size bedding set including comforter.

Filling this need will help reduce stress and anxiety for mom, therefore increasing protective factors for the children and improving the general well-being of the entire family.

Thank you in advance for your help.

This family was living in a multi-generational home when the Los Angeles fires struck and destroyed everything. Since then, they’ve been couch surfing and bouncing between temporary stays in search of stability. They eventually secured a rental, but the rent is inflated, and the landlord has taken advantage of their urgent need for housing.

They’ve borrowed from family, taken out loans, and scoured thrift stores just to furnish the bare essentials. On move-in day, a faulty washer flooded the home. The landlord has refused to replace it or repair the damage, and now they must cover those costs themselves.

At the heart of this family is a mother who is a tireless advocate for foster youth and underserved communities. She spends her days fighting for children facing unimaginable challenges, always showing up with compassion and strength. She gives to others freely, even when she’s the one in need.

Financial support would ease the heavy burden they’re carrying and help them purchase basic household necessities like bedding, cleaning supplies, and other essentials. Your consideration means so much to a family that has given so much of themselves to others.

We are working with a single mother and despite her consistent dedication as a parent to her three children, she needs a baby carrier for her newborn. With limited financial resources and minimal access to essential baby items, a carrier would make a significant difference in her daily life—allowing her to safely and comfortably care for her newborn while also tending to the needs of her other children. Your support in providing this essential item would directly help a hardworking mother create a more stable, nurturing environment for her family.

Single employed mother has been doing very well in relocating her children and herself into a safe and loving home. Family now is requesting assistance with purchasing a few items to make their house into a home. Items needed at this time is four high chairs (bar-stool) and sofas. Providing these items for the family would be blessing on it's own. Being able to sit at the kitchen table or Livingroom to have family team is a wonderful way to straighten a family bond.

The children came to the attention of the Department due to physical abuse by the mother’s male companion. The father of the minors is experiencing mental, emotional, and aggressive behaviors and unable to care for the children. The children live with the mother and have previously faced challenges securing stable housing and lived with relatives. Last year, the family moved into a one-bedroom apartment where they have since found stability and enjoy the privacy of their own space. The mother is currently unemployed and seeking employment through the GAIN program. She occasionally takes on day jobs for sports and concert events. The mother has been compliant with her Court ordered programs. She remains attentive and committed to her children, striving to improve their situation and long-term stability. The children are doing well; they have adjusted positively to the changes and are attending a summer afterschool program. The mother is facing financial difficulties this month and is unable to cover the full cost of rent and her monthly bills. The mother is in need of $400 to cover the remainder of her rent.

This family includes four children ranging in age from newborn, 1 year old, 8 years old and 9 years old. While the baby has a crib to sleep in, the parents and other 3 children sleep on an old queen size mattress on the floor. They have a bunk bed frame for the two older children, but no mattresses. The family is experiencing financial hardship and cannot afford to purchase the mattresses themselves.

We are requesting 2 new twin size mattresses, as well as bedding for the beds (sheets, pillows and blankets), and face/body towels.

Adequate sleeping arrangements and proper sleep are essential for a healthy lifestyle. Filling this request will help improve the children's safety and well being and reduce stress and anxiety on the whole family.

We have a family that consists of the mother, father and 2-week-old baby. The family was homeless for quick some time but was able to finally secure housing. The family is struggling financially and is in need of assistance with the following items: baby boy clothes (sizes 0 to 3 months and 6 to 9 months), bottles, stroller and a baby tub. By fulfilling this request, it will assist the parents with providing for the baby’s basic needs.

Mother is a devoted, mother of seven children, ages 5-18. The case came to the attention of DCFS due to physical abuse, general neglect and caretaker incapacity. She works tirelessly to rebuild her life and reunify with her children who are not currently in her care. She is overcoming financial hardships while staying committed to her sobriety. She diligently works to complete Court ordered programs. In addition to working temporary and odd jobs to make ends meet to maintain stable residence in prearrange of reunifying with her children. As part of her progress, her older children now have unsupervised visits, but the home lacks essential furniture to sit and sleep comfortably. This is an urgent need as the Court reported that the children are fast tracked to return to mother's care on 05/07/25. This request will ensure children's safety as the residence will be clean and furnished with beds so they won't have to sleep on the floor. This request will strengthen parental capacity by providing emotional and physical care. This request will lessen her stressors and free up some of her time to spend with her children ultimately enhance the potential for permanency. Any help, big or small, will bring her one step closer to providing a stable and loving home for her children. If you can contribute in any way, it would mean the world to this mother and her family. Thank you for your kindness and support.

I am writing to request support on behalf of Mother, who is currently involved with our agency and actively working toward reunification with her children. Mother has successfully completed all court-ordered services and continues to demonstrate commitment to her personal growth and family well-being by regularly attending outpatient services.

Mother has recently secured stable housing and moved into her new apartment. As she works to rebuild a safe and nurturing environment for her family, she is in need of basic household essentials to help her establish a functional and supportive home setting for herself and her children.

Providing Mother with this assistance will not only support her transition into independent living but also further her progress toward successful reunification. We believe that with this support, she will continue to build on the positive momentum she has achieved thus far.

Thank you for your consideration in helping this family take the next step toward stability and reunification. Please feel free to contact me should you need any additional information.
