Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

A single mother is suffering from postpartum depression and residing at the Rescue Mission. Her child is one month old, born June 6. The mother has no support as she grew up in foster care herself. This is her first child and the biological father is not involved. The Rescue Mission makes this new mother wake up and start chores by 445 am. The mother is suffering from lack of sleep as she has a newborn and is forced to leave the Mission every day by 9 am and not able to return until 3 pm. This forces the tired mother to take her infant often times to the library where she spends the entire day until she is able to return to the Mission. But even then, she is not allowed to access her bed until 7 pm. The mother does not use substances. Any support is helpful to this mother, but ideally would benefit most from a sponsor. Once the child is old enough, the mother would like to return back to work if she is able.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

Single female has taken in two of her niece's girls, ages 2 and 1. She is in the process of doing kinship foster care for the children. She has had to take off work to care for the two children, get them set up with different providers, and get them to a number of medical appointments. She states that Pampers diapers and hypoallergenic wipes would be very helpful. She also stated that a toybox to store the girl's toys would be helpful because of the small space they are all in. 4-5t diapers (Pampers brand) 5-6t diapers (Pampers brand) Hypoallergenic wipes (any brand)

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

We have a family that is in need of some assistance for food. The family recently fell on hard times due to a custody issue and had some setbacks financially. They were able to get back on their feet and applied for SNAP benefits which will not be available for another couple of weeks. The family has utilized food banks and friends that they have in the area. They don't have any family in the area due to moving from another state and just needs a little extra help with food until their SNAP benefits arrive.
