A grandmother has taken over the care of her 15-year-old granddaughter due to an abuse situation. Granddaughter has always wanted to begin driver's training the summer she was eligible, which would allow her a lot more independence, and with your support, she can still have that opportunity! This request is for Segment 1 driver's training at Century Driving School in Holland. Will you help us support this young woman learning to drive? Thank you for your consideration!

A 14 year old girl recently moved in with a single caretaker. They are working to put together her room and they are in need of a larger dresser for the youth's clothing. It is the hope that this placement will be a long term or even permanent placement so an nice dresser would greatly benefit the family.

They were able to find a dresser they liked on Amazon: Go To Link

This family has recently picked up and left everything they know to move to a better school district so their children can have a better education due to some issue the children were having at their previous school. Leaving behind all of their family and social supports has been hard physically and financially. This family is looking for a gift card to help purchase some personal clothing items for their growing family. This family has had to sacrifice comfortability for location to make sure their children have the best shot at getting a good education, but these sacrifices have led to this family having trouble affording a few basic needs for their children. This mother is asking for a gift card or two to help purchase personal clothing items for her children. If you can find it in your hearts to give, they would be very appreciative.

I am servicing a family in the Hudsonville area and they are without a lawn mower. The family has had to borrow lawn mowers from various neighbors to help keep their lawn in order. The family is facing fines from the trailer park if their lawn is not address. The family is looking for a lawn mower to be able to reliably take care of their own lawn. The estimated value is $400 but any lawn mower will suffice. Thank you for taking time to look at this request and I hope you have great rest of your day.

Hello everyone, I am servicing a family who is in need of 7 trailer windows. The family is already connected with Solid Rock who is willing to replace the windows in the home. Solid Rock has purchased the windows, but the family only has $500 allocated to the repair. The total cost will be $989. The family needs $489 more funds to pay for the remaining balance for the windows. The family has been living with these broken windows for many months. The family is getting pressure from the trailer park, or they may face possible eviction.

Our non-profit organization is once again taking part in the annual Back-to-School Drive in Ottawa County, a vital effort to ensure that children and families in our community have access to the essential school supplies they need to succeed.

We are reaching out in a time of great need. As the new school year approaches, we are seeing a growing number of families struggling to afford even the most basic educational materials. This year, more than ever, your support could make a meaningful difference in the lives of local students.

We would greatly appreciate any assistance you may be able to provide. Every donation helps us get closer to ensure that no child in our community is left behind due to lack of supplies.

Thank you for considering our request and for your continued commitment to supporting local families.

We have a foster family that provided a home to two children last Friday for the weekend as the agency didn't have anywhere for the children to sleep and they were going to have to sleep in the office. It was found over the weekend that the children have lice, and they wet through pull-ups during the night. I would love to provide this family with a basket including maybe some extra laundry soap, paper plates, a gift card for pizza or just a few items to thank the family for going above and being in providing kind and loving care while these kids are in a hard spot. The family is continueing to care for the children past Monday as the agency is having a hard time finding a foster home to take them due to this lice. Because the children are already embarrased by the situation, a worker from Bethany will deliver the items. We are open to any suggestions of items, just want to acknowledge the family and thank them for going the extra mile and providing these girls a home.

This family is in great need of items we were not able to provide via our school care services. The items are basic needs that will help them get through the school year and in to summer.
