One of the reasons I started this ministry was to reach out to at risk teens. Part of that vision is to be involved in early family intervention. I feel this family fits this part of our mandate. A family in crisis needs our help. By intervening now, we may prevent future problems.
This afternoon I had the opportunity to meet with a young family in need. I met in their little apartment and they have a one year old and a nine year old both girls. We developed the following list of needs they have and I would like to invite you to help out in any way you can.
I am ok with you forwarding this on to others who may be able to help as well.
Clothing:for baby girl clothes for 9-12 months
Bedding: sheets for double bed, crib sheets
Hygeine: feminine products, deodorants, tooth paste, ivory body soap, shampoo, shaving supplies
Food: anything at all as their cupboards and fridge are bare, baby food, milk 2%,
Other: cleaning supplies, laundry soap, toilet paper, dog food
Appliances, stove, humidifier, blender, used vacuum
Diapers size 4
I would also love to be able to provide for a night out for mom and dad so a movie pass might be nice and then someone who could babysit the kids.
Another area of need is for the nine year old who cannot participate in a number of things because they cost extra money. If you would be interested in sponsoring her for camp or anything along that line, please let me know.
Finally i would love to find someone who could be a mentor to the nine year old. Her parents said how much they wish they had someone for her to spend time with every week away from the home.
Let me know if you can help,
Thanks Pastor Scott
