Mother has finally secured a new apartment, a crucial step toward reuniting with her child. However, she is now in urgent need of assistance to make it livable. She desperately needs help furnishing the space, as she currently has no living room or bedroom set. This is her chance to rebuild a stable home, but without basic furniture, she is struggling to make it a safe and suitable environment. Housing was the only barrier standing in the way of reunification, and now that it’s been overcome, she just needs this final support to bring her family back together.

The mother has been able to secure the children with a bed, but she has no bed or any furniture/appliances. Donated Funiture or gently used furniture would be greatly appreciated of any sorts such as bed, couch, dining room table and chairs etc

An expecting mother of two young boys is urgently in need of pest control services. Currently 30 weeks pregnant and living in Homestead, she is facing an unsafe and unsanitary living environment due to a pest infestation. As she prepares to welcome her newborn and provide a healthier, safer space for her children, securing pest control support has become a critical priority for her family’s well-being. If you are able to provide the service or fund it this will put her at ease and keep her family safe in a good living condition.

This request is on behalf of a Hope Florida participant that is a single mother of five children. After being apart from her children for six months this mom and her children were finally reunited. During their separation, the mother lived in an RV while working hard to get back on her feet. Since then, she has found stable employment and moved into her own home. However, due to high cost of home rental and other household expenses she does not have enough money left to cover all the needs of her children. This family could use your support with personal items such as clothing, shoes, and baby essentials like diapers and wipes. The children also need help preparing to return to school for the upcoming school year. These children are needing school uniforms, socks, underwear and school supplies. Your help will make a huge difference in these children's lives as they will be able to return to school with appropriate uniforms. Without this assistance they will not be able to attend school with the required uniforms. Your kindness and support will help this family on the road to recovery. And most important the children will attend school to continue with their education. Your support is highly appreciated and a life-line to this family in need. The costs for the items were obtained using Go To Link Boy 3 months: Size 3 months, diapers size 2. Boy size 3T, diaper 7, shoes 7. Boy size 8 uniforms, shoes size 3. Boy size 16, shoe size 10.

This request is on behalf of a Hope Florida participant that is a single mother with 4 children. Today I want to share the story of a courageous mother of four who is doing her best to care for her children under very difficult circumstances. She lives in Section 8 housing and currently does not have income. Her days are filled with love and sacrifice, trying to make ends meet with very limited clothing and other necessary items for the children. With the new school year approaching, she is deeply worried about how she will provide school uniforms for her three eldest children. Her youngest, is still a baby, and needs diapers and wipes. For most of us we take basic items for granted, but for this mom, they are a daily prayer. This valuable support means everything to this mother and her children. This would provide so much support to the children to help them feel confident walking into school dressed clean and with appropriate uniforms. The diapers and baby wipes will help keep the baby clean and healthy. Please help support this family. Even the smallest gesture can make a world of difference in the children's lives and make a significant difference to this family. The prices for the items came from Walmart website: Go To Link

This request is on behalf of a Hope Florida participant that is a resilient single mother of 4 children. Despite facing numerous health challenges, and overcoming some of them, including a recent recovery from a major health episode. This mom remains determined to provide a safe and nurturing environment for her family. The children are in need of appropriate clothing especially with the changing seasons and for the current hot weather in South Florida. The lack of adequate clothing adds to the family's struggles, making it challenging for the children to attend school and participate in activities comfortably. Once the need is met, the children will have clothing to participate in activities comfortably and have appropriate clothing for school. This will help mom allocate money for other expenses such as food and hygiene products. This will ease the burden for the children and mom and allow them to have the necessary clothing they need. Your kindness and generosity in helping this family will be greatly appreciated. Children are 3 girls, are ages 6-size 7/8, 8-size 10/12, and 13-size 14/15. One boy age 8-size 10/12 youth. The pricing for the clothing was obtained using Go To Link

Two young sisters, ages 3 and 5, were recently sheltered and placed in foster care due to circumstances beyond their control. Bright, energetic, and full of curiosity, they are now adjusting to the many changes that come with entering care. Recently placed with a non-relative caregiver, the girls are being supported by someone who, though not related by blood, has stepped into the role with deep compassion and commitment. The caregiver is working hard to meet their emotional and developmental needs and has seen how much the girls thrive in safe, enriching environments where they can explore, learn, and feel secure. One such place is the local zoo.

A zoo membership would offer more than access to exhibits. It would provide a structured, sensory rich space where the girls can build positive memories, channel their energy, and grow through joyful learning experiences. For the caregiver, it’s a valuable resource that supports both the children’s well-being and the stability of their daily routine. We respectfully ask you to consider supporting this request. A zoo membership would help create lasting, healing experiences for two young girls during a critical time in their lives, offering not just fun, but the chance to feel safe, seen, and supported while they heal.

A student’s mom recently secured a new apartment for her family after overcoming some difficult circumstances. This move marks a fresh start and a chance for stability, but the family is still in need of some essential household items to truly make the space feel like home. They are currently in need of:

Nightstands

Bedding (sheets, blankets, pillows)

Cookware (pots, pans, utensils)

Any assistance you could provide in helping them secure these items would be deeply appreciated. Your generosity can help create a warm, comfortable, and functional space where this family can rest, grow, and thrive.

Thank you for your support and kindness.

Four young siblings (ages 12, 10, 6, 5) came into licensed care with barely enough clothing to fill a small sized grocery bag. They are currently placed together and the caregiver needs assistance. All children are in dire need of clothes and shoes. This support will promote their confidence and emotional stability and help ease the financial burden of the caregiver. Despite the current circumstances, the oldest sibling has exhibited such maturity while supporting her younger siblings. She is excelling in school and did very well during an important State test. She has a special request we hope can be fulfilled in addition to their current needs. Update: The caregiver was able to purchase shoes for the brothers. However, the girls are still in need.
