This young mother needs water bill assistance in the amount of 316.00 dollars. This young mother is a DV survivor and just wants to be safe in her own home.

We are writing on behalf of a dedicated single mother raising four children, ages 5, 10, and 16. She has maintained long-term, stable employment and recently secured more affordable housing. With great determination, she has been actively supporting her children’s emotional well-being through counseling and trauma-informed care. This summer, the family is in need of a little extra help. The eldest daughter, who is enrolled in advanced summer coursework, is also stepping up to help care for and transport her younger siblings while their mother works. Reliable transportation is essential for both her schooling and caregiving responsibilities. Due to the family’s tight budget—especially with ongoing therapy expenses—the mother is struggling to keep enough gas in the car to support these efforts. Despite these challenges, the family has made remarkable progress toward self-sufficiency and is committed to continuing on this path. We are kindly requesting a gas station gift card to help ease this burden. Any amount would be deeply appreciated and would go a long way in supporting this hardworking family during a critical time. Thank you for your compassion and generosity.

This case involves a family consisting of the parents and their 5 children. The mother and father have worked very hard to provide for their family and take care of their family. The mother is a young mum with a lot of young children. She has a son who is six years old who is being tested for Autism, two daughters, 8yo and 4yo. She also has a pair of twins who are a year old, one boy and one girl. The parents have recently moved into another home to accommodate their family size and have had to take care of deposits and moving expenses. They have been able to take care of this, however, expenses have left them with little left over for the month. They acquired a few YMCA passes for the summer for a few family members and hope to be able to obtain passes for the remaining family members to enjoy summer activity together. The cost of passes for the remaining children is $117 total. Meeting this need will provide opportunity for all of the children to enjoy swimming and play at their local YMCA and keep them busy this summer.

A request is being made on behalf of a grandmother who has moved from Tennessee to Florida to care for her granddaughter. The child was removed from her parents in Florida due to substance misuse. The caregiver is still paying for her primary residence in Tennessee, as that is where she is insured and is planning to receive medical treatment. Due to having to maintain two residences, the grandmother is struggling financially and is behind on rent and utility bills in Florida. The caregiver recently moved into a mobile home in Florida that was her son's residence, solely to care for her granddaughter while the biological parents work their case plan. In doing so, her granddaughter was able to be kept out of the foster care system. The caregiver cannot work due to having a serious medical condition and taking care of her granddaughter. A request is being made for a total of $1,500; the grandmother is $1,100 behind on rent and behind $400 on her electric bill. This placement supports the concept of kinship in our community. In fulfilling this request, the grandmother will be able to stabilize her housing situation in Florida to maintain placement of her granddaughter. We appreciate any support that can be provided to this family.

Thank You

Grandmother is the sole caretaker for 3 year old grandson whose mom is currently in and out of jail. The grandmother has had several health issues that have put her behind on bills, including her power bill. Grandma only receives social security, and has been paying half payments attempting to catch up, but due to still having a past due balance they are about to turn her power off. If the family could have the total balance due of $485.91 paid, it would ensure that the family does not lose power during the hottest months of the year.

A single mother with two young children (2 months and 2 years old) is in need of household essentials as she transitions into a new townhouse. While she has secured housing, the costs associated with deposits and move-in fees have left her unable to afford basic necessities. Providing support with these items will help create a safe, welcoming, and stable environment for her children—offering them a sense of comfort and normalcy during this important time of transition. Any assistance would make a meaningful difference for this young family.

A single mother of a 5-year-old child is in need of a bus pass to help her commute to work and continue searching for a better-paying job. Without a car, she has relied on ride shares, which have become too costly to sustain. Providing a bus pass would ease this burden, helping her maintain stable employment and explore new opportunities—ultimately creating a more secure and consistent environment for her young child. Your support would make a meaningful difference in their daily life and future stability.
