Burnt Hickory Church of Christ - Bartow

Hi! We are in need of some assistance for a family working to gain custody of their children back,. This family has a 2 year old girl and 8 year old boy who desperately want to be able to go home! Before the children can return the family is in need of a few things. The family recently lost their home and ALL belongings so they are in need of some basic house hold items to get them started as well as gift cards for the parents to shop for clothing.

We are in need of assistance for a current kinship placement. We have three children: year old male, two year old male, and one year old female who are currently living in a kinship with their grandparents. The grandparents are currently struggling with daycare prices and are in need of assistance to be able to keep the children in their care.

I am currently working with a biological family who is getting closer to reunification. The family home is in need of some repairs including the back door. Currently the back door to the older mobile home is held together with a bungee cord due to the door frame needing to be replaced from water damage. The department is searching for someone who may be able to cover the cost of the door frame and possibly door but also be able to install it for the family.

Parents are working their case plan and are currently living in their vehicle. The car needs work so the parents can move closer to town and find employment. With the parents car working they can move to town and find work so they can begin to save money. Right now they are too far out of town to find better employment. The vehicle is in need of these parts and services. 4 spark plugs: $68 Valve cover gasket: $47 oil change: $27 tag: $20 emissions: $20

I have a set of parents that are needing to take a CPR/ First Aid class to help reunify the family. The parents are registered to take the class in the local community on March 1. I have spoken to the facility, and they are willing to give a discounted rate for these parents to obtain the knowledge in the class.

The discounted rate is $30 per parent and can be paid via the online portal of a check mailed to the facility.

The great grandmother (82 years) has been raising her grandson (15 years) for 8 years without help from the mom and dad. The grandson has had suicidal ideations in the past and is a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Child is also in band and has a trip coming up to Florida. Working on getting the grandmother set up again with food stamps. Any community support is welcome.

There is a 6 year old girl who entered care with a lice infestation. She is in need of treatment services to ensure that the lice do not return. We are requesting assistance covering the cost of the treatment through Lice Centers of America to prevent the hatching of eggs and get rid of the infestation.

This family is a possible kinship/fictive kin placement of 3 children ages 6B,4B,1G. Their parents are incarcerated and cannot assist. They are in desperate need for a fresh start after being displaced. The grandmother has stepped up to care for her granddaughter and to keep 2 of her 4 siblings together (total 3 she is caring for).
