Westerville North Family in Need of Twin Blow Up Mattresses and Gift Cards for Food/Supplies
A Westerville North family is currently in need of support as they are experiencing housing and resource challenges. At this time, multiple family members are doubling up due to a lack of adequate sleeping arrangements.
The family would greatly benefit from the donation of four twin-sized air mattresses to ensure each individual has a safe and comfortable place to sleep.
In addition, gift cards to Kroger or Walmart would provide essential assistance in purchasing food, hygiene products, and other daily necessities.
Any support would make a meaningful and immediate difference for this family during this time.
Support Needed for Westerville North Family in Medical Crisis
A Westerville North family is facing a severe emergency and needs our help. The father, who is the primary caregiver for their son with significant special needs, recently became critically ill. The mother is the primary breadwinner but has had to take significant time off work to manage her husband's illness and care for their child. To make matters worse, their only vehicle was hit during a recent snowstorm. Due to lost income, they cannot afford to fix the car, which they desperately need to get to work and the hospital. We are requesting donations to help them cover basic daily needs and car repairs so they can stay afloat during this crisis.
Immediate Needs:
- Grocery Gift Cards (Kroger or Aldi)
- Gas cards
- Regular Visa gift cards
Thank you for any support you can provide to help this family right now.
WCS Seniors in Need of Help with Fees
This time of year, graduating seniors have to pay off their school fees to be able to attend prom, go on the school Cedar Point trip and get their diploma. There are a huge variety of reasons why students accumulate fees over their high school years and much of it is due to financial strain. Would you consider donating to help these students finish their year strong? This support helps students focus on the positive parts of their senior year instead of feeling left out and stressed about money. Any amount helps and the students are so grateful!
