My daughter is growing out of her toddler bed and a day bed would fit in her squared off room..asking for one with a trundle underneath is so when my son 11 yr old stays over he can have a bed to sleep in
My Story:
We live in Signal Hill/ Long Beach Ca.My daughter is turning 5 in Oct.She is growing out of her toddler bed and if anyone has a Daybed they are giving away it would fit perfect in her little room.We have been trying to find one but have not found one in our price range plus we would have to buy 2 twin mattress so we r hoping someone has one they are no longer needing. Thank you so much for reading our wish.. We work hard for our family and try our best. We just need a little help. Thank you again

I am posting this wish for my sister. Her house recently collapsed and it was not insured at the time as it was still in the process of being built. She now has to still pay the mortgage on it plus having to pay to rebuild it. A double whammy =( She has a five year old daughter and a son due in just under 4 weeks. She is currently living with us so she can rebuild this house. While still making the payments on the collapsed house, she spends every extra dollar buying the lumber and paying contractors to rebuild the house.
My Story:
What we are looking for is gift cards to help out with finances. She is trying to take her daughter school clothes shopping as it is the start of her kindergarten year. She also needs to buy stuff for her new baby on the way. We realize that to ship huge baby equipment to her is kind of a hassle so gift cards would be much easier. We have also set up a Paypal account for her to raise $10,000 for the rebuilding. Its just a fraction of the total cost but it would be a great start! The email address for the account to donate money is . We appreciate any amount in gift cards or money! Thank you to everyone who can help!! Lets help relieve a little bit off her shoulders!

We moved into a great house in June to be able to get my daughter closer to her high school. Even though we knew our electric company wouldnt bill
us for 2 months, we didnt know there was a problem with our a/c. Are first bill ened up being $835.00 for a 50 day period. With the loss of one of my older son's job (layed-off) we have no idea we will pay this off, a timely manner. Our landlord is working on the a/c to resolve that problem but, still there is the bill. I am on medical leave from knee surgery and am not able to work just yet. On top of keeping our heads above water my oldest son was just diagnoised with type 2 diabetes. If anyone could helps us we would be greatfull. I provide you with the account iformation for direct payment. Thank you.
My Story:
I've been single parent of 5 great kids since 1992. Presently my two oldest have returned home. My oldest to help support me and his 15yr-old sister while I recover from knee surgery and attend school in Sept. The second for family support raising my 8yr-old grandson and help with his chronically ill wife. We have worked together to move the kids to a better enviornment and for me to attend school and obtain my LPN certification. This will alow me to support all of us in 2yrs so my sons can then attend college themselves. But the lay-off for my son and this unexpected huge bill has caused us a major problem. We all have just gotten back on our feet after a terrible year that cost me my home and having to send my daughter away so her life would be stable.Working on disabilty for son's wife now.

Rhonda’s Story(, California) |

Courage. Strength. Resilience. These are three words that come to mind when hearing Rhonda Morrison’s story. Rhonda is a recently divorced mother of three boys ages 16, 13 and 5. Like many others, her journey to Harbor Interfaith Services was not an easy one. But now that she has successfully graduated from our Accelerated Learning and Living program, she and her family need a few items to complete their newly established home. Bunk beds for her sons, a computer desk with a chair, curtains in the living rooms and bedrooms for privacy (contact for measurements), silverware and lastly a television.
My Story:
Prior to entering Harbor Interfaith Services, Rhonda was a newlywed working to establish a future with her husband as a certified counselor. It wasn’t long before things went south. Her new husband became physically abusive towards her, eventually relapsing into a habit of drugs. After months of abuse Rhonda packed everything in a van and left with her sons. With little money earned with her waitress job, the family had to take residence at a small room in an Inn where the presences of drugs were evident. Despite having to raise her sons in a place where she had to escort them to and from the community showers, Rhonda was able to stay enrolled at Harbor College and maintain a 3.7 Grade Point Average. It was from here that Rhonda sought help at our shelter and eventually became a resident in our transitional housing program. Now she has a home of her own, has graduated from Harbor College with an A.A. and cites her biggest accomplishment as breaking completely free from her husband. Her future plans are to open a long term care/treatment program for women and children with backgrounds dealing with abuse and drug usage.
