Story

2 Children 2 Adults

Parents are both working but have lost their overtime and had hours reduced. The mother was in a car wreck which totaled the family's car. They bought a new one, which was under warranty for six months. During this time, the engine quit and a new one was needed, however, it took some time to get the parts in. The parts were paid for, but the warranty company only paid $75 per hour for the labor and the labor was more than this. When they test drove the car after the repair, the differential went out and by this time, the car was no longer under warranty. The family live out an hour out of town but work locally. Due to their only car being in the garage, unable to pay to complete the repair, they are staying locally with friends so they can get a ride to and from work. There is no room for their children, so they are staying with a babysitter, who they have to pay $40 per day. They are also behind in this payment, and the father is unsure of how much. They have had their water and gas turned off, but the family is only asking for the car repair to be covered so they can get back on their feet and they can be reunited as a family.

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.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

A 5yo boy and 7yo girl are being reunited with their Father this weekend. There are other children in the house and they need 2 Twin mattresses, sheets, blankets and pillows, so they don't have to share beds. Having this will give the children a safe, comfortable place to sleep by themselves and help them feel like they truly have a home and aren't just visiting.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Grace's Table invites you to support a small family struggling to keep their lights on. The mama and her two children are long-time participants in our program and invest in everyone around them. Her three-year-old is likely to be the guy who meets you at our door with a hug! The mama picks up as much work as she can, but does not have reliable childcare, so money is tight. She recently let us know that she's on the verge of having her electricity shut off. We are committed to walking alongside this family and know that the mama rarely asks for this kind of help so we're taking it quite seriously. We have copy of her electric bill for your records. Thank you for considering the request!
