I am reaching out on behalf of a Spanish-speaking single mother who is in urgent need of rental assistance. She is currently pregnant and caring for two young children—one who is 5 years old and the other just 4 months old. Although she has been working to support her family, her vehicle recently broke down, preventing her from getting to work and resulting in a loss of income. She is now struggling to pay her rent and at risk of falling behind. Due to her current citizenship status, she has had difficulty qualifying for many rental assistance programs and organizations. Any support or resources available to help her during this challenging time would be deeply appreciated.

I have a single father with three children (a 2-year-old boy and twin 7-month-old boys). He currently has no income. He needs to find a job as soon as possible. He has a potential job, but they are asking him to have an Orange Vest and Brown Shoes (size 13). He needs those items so he can get the job.

The family is about to get evicted from their home. The family fell behind on payments for rent due to placing their child in daycare. The family is in need of financial assistance in order to pay the rent and be caught up financially. Mother was not working, and the grandmother has been the primary provider for the family. The mother was recovering after her pregnancy, and the father is not in the picture. The mother is currently working on stabilizing herself with employment, so they won't be in this situation again.

A grandmother is caring for her grandchildren while her son is incarcerated. The parents’ absence has placed an emotional and financial strain on the household. I am requesting assistance for a family facing financial hardship and is behind on her electric bill. Providing support for this urgent need would help relieve some of the burden they are carrying and allow them to focus on caring for the children. Any assistance you can provide toward covering this utility bill would be a tremendous blessing and a critical step in helping this family remain safe, warm, and connected during this difficult season

The children in this case have no where to live. The lady who took the kids in has children of her own. The mother of the children she took in has not seen them since Easter of this year. The father of these 2 children is in prison for 12 years. There nearest family is in Turkey. The lady who is taking care of them need beds for these kids age 16 and 12. She needs towels, sheets, and mattresses . The would need 2 twin beds. She also need an exterminator for the bugs in the home.

I have the mother of four children who is pregnant with her fifth child. She lives with her mother, as her and the children's father are no longer together. The father currently has all four of the children in his care right now and is planning on filing for primary custody of those children. This mother is due with their fifth child (a boy) in September, and although she works, she doesn't have a very good job and barely has any money after helping her mom pay for the bills. She doesn't have the money to pay for the car seat and the pack and play (with possible basinet attachment) for the baby to be safe when they do arrive. Her support system is unable to help her financially at all. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The family has relocated back to Dallas County to their home. They have been able to obtain a bed for their oldest child but is in need of two toddler beds for their youngest children. Mom just started working but in the process of getting established in her role and assisting with household necessities. The family has experienced a lot over the past 9 months, and a little assistance will really help alleviate some of the families' financial stressors.

We are reaching out on behalf of a courageous mother who is taking meaningful steps toward reuniting with her one-year-old baby. This young woman has endured profound challenges, including separation from her child—yet through it all, she has shown determination, humility, and strength. She has committed herself fully to the hard work of healing, learning, and building a safe, loving environment for her child’s return.

In the process of rebuilding, she has placed her child’s needs far above her own. She attends parenting classes, counseling, and supervised visits with tenderness and intention. Her focus has been on becoming the mother her baby deserves—and now, as reunification draws near, she is working to reclaim her sense of dignity and confidence.

This mom is in urgent need of clothing, undergarments, and personal hygiene items—especially items that support and reflect her ethnic background and personal identity. These basics are not just about comfort; they are about helping her show up fully for her child, and for herself, with the self-respect and strength she’s been fighting to rebuild.

My client is a single mom of 5 children. She is involved with CPS due to an assault against two of her children and against herself. Mo is trying to take care of everything by herself. She was working at an internship and going to school. The internship is over, and she was not hired on. Mo chose to protect her children and keep them safe and the person that was helping her with the bills is no longer in the home.
Mo needs help with the electricity bill. The electricity bill is $323.98. When this need is met the children will be able to continue to live in a home that is cool as the hot Texas summer approaches. They will also be able to benefit from the refrigerator/freezer working and the washer/dryer. Any assistance would be helpful. Mo is
