A single mom is in need of assistance, children aged 10, 6 and 2, with cleaning the environment of her home. Due to recent hardship, they are struggling to maintain a clean and safe living environment.

Any assistance with cleaning supplies, volunteer time, or professional cleaning services would make a meaningful difference for this family’s well-being and comfort.

I am currently working with a family of three who are facing financial hardship and are in urgent need of assistance with their utility bills, specifically for water and electricity services. The family is at risk of service disconnection. Household: 1 adult and 1 child and 1 newborn

A family of 6 is currently in emergent need of housing. The family is comprised of two grandparents caring for their four granddaughters; one of which is only a few weeks old. This family has recently been evicted from their home and have been staying in a motel while searching for housing, however, they will no longer have the funds to continue their stay past 6/17. With no housing the children are at risk of coming into foster care as they need a safe environment to reside. This risk could be resolved with the extension of the motel while the Department assists the family in finding housing.

I am working with a single mother, of three children who has two jobs to support her family. She is in need of some bunk beds, for her daughters room. Any help that could be given to her, would be greatly appreciated.

The mother and 4 children were deemed to have been residing in poor/unsafe living conditions. The building inspector had deemed the residence to be an unsafe structure with multiple repairs needed before the family could reside in the home. As of 06/16/2025, the home was inspected, and the inspector granted the family permission to enter the home because some of the requirements had been completed. The children are in need of appropriate bedding. The beds were deemed unsafe. Bunk beds or twin beds are needed, new or used. The family would need mattresses and appropriate coverings for the beds. The home is also in need of a couch, new or gently used, for the living room area. The couch that is in the home is in poor condition and needs to be transported to the county dump. The mother has no transportation and relies on a friend or anyone that can assist herself and family.

I am working with a teenage girl, and her mother, who are currently experiencing homelessness and living at the shelter. The child does not have access to any electronics, and suffers from mental health disorders. She could benefit from having a kindle or a tablet of some sort to aide in her de- escilating/ calming when needed. She has no resources to aide her in this way currently.

I'm working with a mom and her 2-year-old son. She has a few different court fines to pay out of Campbell County and Bedford County. This request is being made to help her get back on her feet, and to move forward. She just got a job, and she is working through services. This would help her meet her goal, and to be able to focus on more time building a relationship with her child.

My client is an 8-month-pregnant mother of an 11-year-old girl and a 4-year-old boy. The baby is due in late June 2025. She recently separated from her husband, who experienced a mental health crisis after witnessing a traumatic event. Prior to relocating to the area in May 2025, her family lost everything during a tornado and hurricane in another state. A local shelter assisted in securing housing for them, but they currently have no clothing for themselves or the newborn, nor any essentials for the baby's arrival. Despite being 8 months pregnant, she is enrolled in online classes to pursue a career in medical billing and coding. She has visited local agencies seeking clothing for herself and her children but has been unable to find items that fit. I am requesting a $500 donation to purchase baby items and clothing for the family. This support will not only provide immediate relief but also strengthen the family's bond and well-being during this challenging time.

I am working with a family that has one child in foster care. The family is willing to establish a relationship with a church. The father is in need of weekly rides to his services. Note appointments are typically on Wednesday afternoons/evenings. The Department feels that if the father has regular transportation with a positive role model this could increase the ability of the family to get their child back.

Family discovered mold in the foundation of the house, impacting the health and wellness of those residing. Cost of mold remediation and installing drainage (sump pump) is far beyond the family's financial means. The costs are far greater than listed but every bit helps.

Mom lost her job in early November due to kids illnesses, she got a new job later in November but lost that job also due to kids illnesses. She has struggled to make car, electric, and rent payments since losing her job. She has been delivering with DoorDash to obtain income. She is overdue on her car payments for the month of April and May and she needs her car to continue to DoorDash until she obtains another job. The lender reached out to her because the payments were due on May 23rd. She has reached out to friends, family, and other agencies and has received some support for her other needs, but still cannot make the car payment. She is in need of $792.00 for her car payment. She is working with a Career Navigator at Virginia Career Works and plans to complete CNA training this summer so she can obtain self-sufficient employment, but she needs transportation to be able to accomplish this goal.

The Lynchburg Department of Social Services is requesting rental assistance on behalf of a single mother of four children who recently relocated to a new apartment in an effort to provide a safer and more suitable living environment for her family. Her previous residence was inadequate and did not meet the basic needs of her children. This move was essential for the well-being and stability of the household. However, the financial burden of securing and maintaining this new apartment has created a significant challenge. Rental assistance would provide critical support in helping her sustain this improved living situation and continue working toward long-term stability for her family while she is looking for work
