Recently Filled Needs

Phone Bill

An Anthony Wayne single mother of five is facing a serious health crisis and needs immediate assistance.
Due to mounting medical challenges, she has fallen behind on essential bills, and her phone service has been shut off. This is an urgent concern, as her phone is the only way she can schedule and manage critical doctor’s appointments for both herself and her young child.

Immediate support is needed to pay this bill and restore her phone service. Please consider donating today to help keep this family connected to lifesaving medical care.

Help With Heat

Please consider supporting an Anthony Wayne family in keeping both their lights and heat on.
Recent illnesses have prevented the family from working their delivery job, resulting in a sudden loss of income. Because of this hardship, they have been unable to keep up with their utility bill.

Any contribution toward payment of this bill would be greatly appreciated and will help this family remain safe and warm during this difficult time.

Help us give a local child a warm winter!

We are urgently seeking Old Navy Gift Card donations for a young boy whose family cannot afford essential coats, hats, and boots for him. We've helped somewhat with housing, now we need to cover some essentials.

Every dollar goes directly to keeping this child safe and warm.

Gift Cards from Old Navy, or donations so we can go purchase these cards and get them to the family, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your kindness!

Family In Need of Propane Fill for Heat

We have a family who is in need of financial support, for a need for propane as they are without heat. The fill for this heating need would be $500. The family appreciates any support you can provide.

With much gratitude for your kindness and generosity!

Rent Assistance

An Anthony Wayne single mother is seeking help with rent this month. Due to the recent government shutdown, her benefits were unexpectedly reduced, throwing her family’s budget off course and making it impossible to cover essential expenses.

Any support you can offer during this difficult time would make a meaningful difference for this family. Thank you for considering a contribution to help them stay stable and secure.
