The Vineyard Church Pearland

We are currently working with a 15-year-old boy and his mother who, in the past few months, have experienced many changes within their living environment. This family was referred to us through the Office of Refugee Resettlement since the child was an unaccompanied minor that was recently reunified with his mom. The mom's previous partner was their main financial source, but they are no longer together due to his emotional abusive behavior toward her and her teenage son. The mom has shown resilience and perseverance throughout this process and is now working full-time. She is making just enough to rent out a room in an apartment, but is not yet making enough to rent the entire apartment on her own. The child and mother are currently sharing a queen-sized bed since the mom cannot currently afford to purchase an additional bed for her son. However, they have both expressed a desire for the teenage boy to have his own bed, especially as he continues to grow as a teenager. Your collaboration in serving this family would be so impactful, especially considering all the challenges and pain they have been through! Thank you in advance for your consideration and support!

This family recently moved into a housing apartment there are 6 children. They are completely starting over. Bunk beds are needed for the children. The family needs a dinette table so the children don't eat on the floor. Any dishes or lines would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

There has been a recent change in family dynamics, and father is now caring for two children under 5 completely alone. He is currently looking for work, and is in need of rental and utility assistance for his apartment to house the children. Please assist this father? Family speaks Spanish only. Phone:(###) ###-####

The mother is a single parent of four children. No fathers are involved. The current bunk bed used by the two oldest children is in poor condition and is falling apart. Receiving new beds will provide a safe and stable sleeping arrangement alleviating the mother's concerns about the current bed's safety. The children are males ages 6 and 8.

A mother currently working services through CPS is preparing for the release of her newborn baby, Jaylynn, from the NICU. Jaylynn was born premature and has significant medical needs, including a diagnosis that will require open heart surgery. The mother is requesting support with essential baby care items to help her prepare for Jaylynn’s transition home and recovery. She is in need of newborn and 0–3 month baby clothes, size newborn and size 1 diapers, swaddle blankets, burp cloths, and a baby healthcare kit with essentials such as a thermometer, baby nail clippers, and a brush. Providing these items will help ensure the mother is equipped to care for her medically fragile infant and support a stable, nurturing environment as they prepare for Jaylynn’s surgery and continued care.

Mother and her 3 children currently reside with her aunt. Aunt is watching the children while mother works each day. Aunt does not have any type of seating for the 2 older children in the living room area, where they spend most of their time doing activities or watching TV. The children are having to sit on the floor all day while they are home since they are currently out of school for the summer. The family is asking for assistance in some type of small chairs or bean bags for the 11yo and 6yo to use daily. 11mth old baby is outgrowing her bouncer and starting to roll out of it. Baby is needing a more appropriate seating for her age to be able to sit or nap in where she cant get out of.

The family dynamic consists of a single mother and three children. Mother has been displaced since the hurricane in 2024 and is in desperate need of financial support for a hotel room or a shelter that has beds available for the family.

Family needs assistance with cleaning them home and helping with controlling pests.

This family is small but is need of a lot of items. The oldest sister has taken her two younger sisters in and moved into an apartment to help accommodate the girls and space. The caregiver has no furniture and could use anything to help from dining table, couch, beds for both girls, bedding, groceries, cleaning supplies, and anything to help make the home.

The PAL (Preparation for Adult Living) Program in DFPS is planning an event for our foster youth (Ages 14-21) to attend the Science Museum this summer (07/29/2025). We plan to invite 15 youth that are interested in the science field (engineering, natural science, animal science, anthropology, physics, geology and more). Many of these youth will get to experience the science museum for the first time. We will be attending the science museum during the free Tuesday admissions.

We wanted to request assistance to purchase tickets to the Cockrell Butterfly Center exhibit that is not included in the free admission. The youth would get to walk through a living butterfly habitat, marvel at spectacular live and preserved specimens of some of the world’s largest and weirdest arthropods, and enjoy interactive games and quizzes. The youth would explore the fascinating world of insects and arthropods in a hands-on experience that brings science to life. Groups 10+ booked in advanced is $12 per ticket. The youth and PAL program would be really appreciative for any assistance. Thank you so much.

The infant was recently placed with the paternal grandmother who isn’t employed and took in the child to avoid the child being placed in foster care.

The family is in need child proof locks for the cabinets in the kitchen and bathroom. They need child proof doorknobs, child proof wall plugs, and baby gate, and medication lock box. If the needs are met this will preserve the placement.
