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.

Family has just moved into a new home. The father is a single parent and providing care for child alone. He needs help getting the child proper bedding.

Help bring comfort and healing to three grieving siblings. Three siblings—ages 12 (female), 11 (male), and 8 (male)—are currently living in a shelter after the recent and tragic loss of their brother. This devastating event has uprooted their lives, and they are in great need of comfort and emotional support as they begin the grieving and healing process.

Meeting this need will provide the children with a sense of stability and care during this difficult transition. These items will not only meet their practical needs but also help them process their grief and create small moments of joy in a very uncertain time.

The children are requesting:

Clothing and shoes (all sizes)

Journals for personal reflection

Bibles for spiritual comfort

Dragon Ball Z items and stuffed animals for emotional connection

Movie tickets to experience positive family time together

CPS is working with a family of a mother and her son to help provide services. The child and mother are currently in therapy services to help address their needs. This therapy service is costing them out of pocket and is not covered under their insurance, but this therapy group is the best option for this family to heal from their trauma. The therapist is one of the most qualified to help this child and this child is very comfortable with the therapist, so we do not want him to end the therapy due to finances. This could cause a regression in behaviors. This therapist has done a wonderful job and is also working with them on a sliding scale.

We are asking for help to pay an utility bill to help offset some of the cost of the therapy. The family is working on getting some other financial assistance from organizations but will take time to set up. Mom had to miss some of her sessions due to finances. We want the family to be successful.

I am reaching out on behalf of a Spanish-speaking single mother who is in urgent need of rental assistance. She is currently pregnant and caring for two young children—one who is 5 years old and the other just 4 months old. Although she has been working to support her family, her vehicle recently broke down, preventing her from getting to work and resulting in a loss of income. She is now struggling to pay her rent and at risk of falling behind. Due to her current citizenship status, she has had difficulty qualifying for many rental assistance programs and organizations. Any support or resources available to help her during this challenging time would be deeply appreciated.
