I am working with a family that has been homeless for several months. The family consists of mom, 3rd grader, 6th grader and two high school students. The family has been working with an agency and was recently able to get rehoused and have moved into a house!! They have an appointment with Sharing Shed next month to get needs for their home! They are in need of a washer and dryer (electric). I am working to help her in the meantime at the laundry mat. Would anyone be able to assist this family of 5 with a washer and dryer? I looked on Facebook Marketplace and there were several listed.

This is a single mother and daughter whom are currently homeless and residing in a tent. The family has just moved back from being out of state. Mom is a great mother and is just needing some help right now. The daughter is 12 years old. The family is need of a large cooler to place food in, utensils to use when getting the food off of the grill, daughter needs a bathing suit to use for the showers, clothing for daughter either shorts or capris sz medium or size 3 adult. Mom could also benefit from a gas gift card to be able to use to take daughter to needed appointments and school.

A single mother of 3 children, 1 with special needs, is needing her car to be registered so that she can get to work, take the children to school when they miss the bus, and get to appointments, the grocery store, etc. Currently, a friend is taking her to work and she's having to use Uber to get around. In order to pass vehicle inspection, the driver's side window needs to be replaced. She also needs to have the vehicle taken in for emissions and safety inspections. The work will be scheduled on mom's days off, but she doesn't have funds to pay for the inspections or the window. Once these are completed, she can register the car. (Those additional expenses are unknown, so they're not included in this request.) Would you be willing to help remove these barriers so that she can get back on the road?

A 13-year-old daughter of a single mom has been going through rough times. She's begun dabbling in drugs and her grades have gone down. Her self-esteem and self-worth are low. Mom has had her in therapy and counseling for several months, and mom has been going through counseling as well to be a more effective parent. At a recent meeting with the family and her team of supports, it was evident that strong supports are in place and that mom is doing all that she can. However, the daughter continues to make poor choices. There is a glimmer of hope, though. The daughter is very interested in being on the cheerleading team for next year and understands that she must be clean of drugs and keep up her grades. The only hurdle is that mom doesn't have the funds for the program ($350, including uniforms), which are due the end of this month. The team of supports agrees that the cheerleading team would be great for the daughter, and they will continue to work with the daughter to help her stay clean and keep her grades up. The confidence and team spirit that cheerleading would bring to the daughter would greatly raise her self-esteem and teach her the importance and value of discipline and hard work. Would you be willing to make the difference for this precious 13-year-old and her mom?

Hello,

I am working with a family who is trying to create the best future for their son, CB. CB is a teenage boy that has a lot of mental health and behavioral issues. CB has been doing very well with FCS and IIS in the home working with him and the parents have been extremely amenable to services to help them do that.

Unfortunately, at this time, it is best for the safety and wellbeing of CB that he be in a residential facility. His stay at residential has been covered through insurance but the family needs help with travel expenses. CB will be taken to residential out in California with his Pastor. One-way tickets are $100 and round trip are $200. Any financial assistance whether it is both CB and Pastor or just the child is greatly appreciated!

This momma has been working very hard to get her children back home with her. She's addressed her medical and mental health needs, secured a job and is in counseling. She is anxious to get all of her children home on trial home placement but needs to be sure that the utilities are paid up. The electric bill was high for the last few months due to the cold. Her electric is currently at risk of disconnection on 4/22 and would be a barrier to her children coming back home. Once the children are home, child support and SSDI for her son will help her keep her bills paid on time.

A mom is struggling. She is expecting a baby in August. Currently working 2 jobs and has 4 other children 10,8,7 & 6. She is in need of baby items including girl clothes, diapers, breast feeding bags, tub, towels or any other baby items you can think of. Let’s shower this hardworking mom with some love, prayers and help!

We would love to shower our sweet sister with help in her time of need. Diapers, any baby items she has a swing, she needs clothes for a baby girl bath items If any of you have baby items you can donate that would be awesome as well!

We have a mom who is a survivor of domestic violence and has recently become a single mom of four that is needing some assistance. Her four boys will be returning home with her soon and she has worked tirelessly to fix up the house and repair what her abuser has damaged but still needs help with some of the work. The mother has patched the holes in the wall that her ex partner left but could use help purchasing the paint to cover them before the boys come home. She could also use help repair the outside AC unit that he has destroyed as well as a dumpster to get rid of the trash from all of the other repairs she has completed.

Mom and Dad have joint custody.  Dad is not taking quality care of daughter.  Additionally, he is being evicted from his apartment. Mom has to come up with a $1500 attorney retainer fee to request full custody. She is getting closer but cannot afford nighttime diapers especially.  She is going to need summer clothes for children too and is fine with used clothing.  She is expecting to have to pay more attorney fees during the process of requesting full custody. 

4T boy shorts for summer. She has plenty of tops.  Used clothing is fine with her.  I did look at Wal-Mart and they are selling boy shorts for $5.  

size 7 girl clothing would be appreciated.  Used is fine.

Household items if anyone would be willing to pitch in and help: toilet paper at Sams huge off brand member mark bundle is $23 without tax

At Wal-Mart: Nighttime diaper only: Pamper size 7 regular diaper comes in a large box qty 108 sells for $55.91

Parents Choice size 7 qty 120 regular diapers sells for $27.38 .

Laundry detergent of any brand as she is not picky and would appreciate help.  I checked prices for the larger container. Purex 4in1 qty 192 washes at Wal-Mart sells for $14

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
