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.

I have a single father with three children (a 2-year-old boy and twin 7-month-old boys). He currently has no income. He needs to find a job as soon as possible. He has a potential job, but they are asking him to have an Orange Vest and Brown Shoes (size 13). He needs those items so he can get the job.

The family is about to get evicted from their home. The family fell behind on payments for rent due to placing their child in daycare. The family is in need of financial assistance in order to pay the rent and be caught up financially. Mother was not working, and the grandmother has been the primary provider for the family. The mother was recovering after her pregnancy, and the father is not in the picture. The mother is currently working on stabilizing herself with employment, so they won't be in this situation again.

Single mother is currently caring for six children; the family is in need of bunk beds. The mother has the mattresses but is in need of the bunk bed frames. This will help the children have their own place to sleep instead of sharing beds with one another.

A grandmother is caring for her grandchildren while her son is incarcerated. The parents’ absence has placed an emotional and financial strain on the household. I am requesting assistance for a family facing financial hardship and is behind on her electric bill. Providing support for this urgent need would help relieve some of the burden they are carrying and allow them to focus on caring for the children. Any assistance you can provide toward covering this utility bill would be a tremendous blessing and a critical step in helping this family remain safe, warm, and connected during this difficult season

The family fled domestic violence and entered an emergency shelter 2 months ago. Mother has been working on establishing stability to live independently and allow her to remain away from danger. The mother was success in the program at the emergency shelter and was granted a voucher for an apartment. Mother worked tirelessly through the program to get where she is today and is now moving into an apartment with absolutely no furniture, clothes, or anything in the home.

The Department is assisting in getting beds for the children, but mom is still needing somewhere to sleep and could benefit from at minimum at least the mattress portion of the bed.

I have a family of 6: a mom, dad, 6-year-old boy, 4-year-old girl, 1-year-old girl, and 6-month-old baby. The parents are not working, and they moved in with their grandparents. The 1-year-old is turning 2 this month, and they want to transition her to a toddler bed from a crib. They need a toddler bed. Transitioning from a crib to a small toddler bed will help with the space of the room because they have to fit all the beds in one room.

I have a family of 6: a mom, dad, 6-year-old boy, 4-year-old girl, 1-year-old girl, and 6-month-old baby girl. The parents are not working, and their car recently got repossessed. They need $1,400 to get their car back. They need transportation to get a job and transport their children to medical appointments. The 6 months baby girl is having heart surgery in July.

The mother is the only financial provider and dad recently lost his job, the kids does not have proper beds to sleep in and their trailer is very old almost falling apart. All five children have special needs. The trailer has bed bug, roaches and need help cleaning.

I have a family who is dealing with a lot of needs with the Mother of the adopted children, adult sibling being the only caregiver having to care for her Mom with severe medical issues including her not being coherent and having mental and vision difficulties, her Autistic son with very angry outbursts, younger sibling who was adopted and has behavioral issues from trauma before she was adopted, and her own medical needs and dealing with a cyst she has. This Adult sibling is trying her hardest to get to all appointments in caring for her family, but it has put a burden on her working, and she hasn't been able to work in the past 4 weeks. Every time the adult sibling tries to leave for work, she is called back to the home to assist in some kind of matter. So, I am requesting for a grocery card to help this family until hopefully she can reapply for food stamps and also a punching bag to help the Autistic Son with his angry outbursts as he likes to punch things when he is angry.

Family of Pre-K student and 9th grade student in need of finanicial assistance in paying for their car note this month. The family has been supporting payments for the Pre-K student who was in the hospital for the past month and a half. He is currently hospitalized again. Family members have been docked pay in the month of May for the time they had to take off work to be at the hospital. Help with their car note will make it possible for them to continue to go to work and visit at the hospital.
