Story

•
2 Children 1 Adult

two young sisters, ages 6 and 12, were recently removed from their home due to unsafe conditions involving substance use and violence. The removal, though necessary for their safety, came at a heartbreaking cost: the loss of their home, their two baby siblings, and the only life they had ever known. With no immediate family able to take them in, the girls faced the strong possibility of being separated and placed in a shelter-separated from each other and remaining sense of security. DFPS reviewed history and reached out to their maternal great aunt, a young woman living in a modest one bedroom apartment. She had limited financial means and was just beginning her own life-Recently engaged and unprepared for this life-altering news. Still, without hesitation this aunt said yes. Though her home is small, she made space for the two girls. They arrived that night with only the clothes on their backs and a few small items. Since then, their aunt has done everything she can to meet their needs, despite the financial and emotional strain. Aunt reached out, asking if anyone can help her find a booster seat for the 6 year old-just one of many basic items they lacked. Aunts humble request reflect the many unseen needs that come with caring for children on short notice. Though the future is uncertain, her strength and compassion have already changed the girls lives. With support I can see this family has a chance to begin again-together.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

Dear community, we are reaching out to support a hardworking single mother of four who has recently lost her full-time job cleaning hotel rooms due to a drop in bookings. She is now only working two days a week and actively looking for more work. Her job search has been especially difficult due to her legal status in this country, but despite the challenges, she remains hopeful. She is not currently receiving food stamps or child support, which has made it even harder to stay afloat.

She is now short on rent for July 1st, especially after falling behind on her electricity bill. Our organization is stepping in to help with groceries, and basic needs — and we are also working to help her find additional resources. We are doing everything we can to help her and her children stay in their apartment and avoid eviction.

If you’re able to support with some of the rent, no matter how small, it would make a real difference for this family during this difficult time. Thank you for your compassion and solidarity.
