Target Gift Card

This gift request will greatly benefit an unaccompanied child with Church World Service (CWS). Laura, at just 17 years old, made a brave journey with only the shirt on her back across borders to seek a better life and pursue education. She's currently striving to complete high school and has dreams of attending college.

However, her situation is challenging. Laura is living with only male family members who lack the means to provide her with essential items like female hygiene products, clothing, and makeup. We believe that every woman and girl deserves to feel their best and have access to hygiene products that are essential for their well-being. With this in mind, we kindly ask for your assistance in the form of a gift card. Your contribution would directly impact Laura's life, allowing her to purchase the items she needs to face the world with confidence and care for herself. This gesture of kindness and support can empower her journey towards success. Posted 8/31/23.

Double Stroller

This gift request will greatly benefit an unaccompanied child with Church World Service (CWS). Isabell's life, at just 17 years old, has been a journey marked by extraordinary resilience and bravery. Migrating from Honduras, she now finds herself in a New York City refugee shelter, accompanied by her two babies under two years old.

In her new reality, Isabell faces the challenge of commuting through the bustling city for essential errands and appointments, all while struggling to meet her family's basic needs. A simple solution—a double stroller—holds the promise to make her daily life significantly more manageable, granting her the ability to navigate the city streets with greater ease and independence. Her journey to the United States was a distressing escape from domestic abuse. Threatened with death by her partner, Isabell found her strength and chose a new path for herself and her children. In the face of adversity, she sought refuge in New York City, hoping for better opportunities and safety. The double stroller isn't just a practical item; it symbolizes Isabell's journey from fear to empowerment. It represents the support of her community, a tangible reminder of her strength and the compassion that surrounds her. Your support has the power to be a lifeline of hope for Isabell and her babies. By contributing to her cause, you're not just offering a stroller—you're providing a stepping stone toward a brighter future. Isabell's story echoes the universal human desire for safety, dignity, and a chance to thrive. Posted 8/22/23.

Laptop

This gift request will greatly benefit an unaccompanied child with Church World Service (CWS). The agency is providing post-release services to the minor, Lisa. Lisa does not have a cellular phone as a form of communication.

The minor reported using a computer in school to complete all her school tasks, however, she does not have one at home. Lisa mentioned she has to constantly rush to complete all her homework in school due to not being able to complete schoolwork at home. We are requesting a laptop for the minor to be able to communicate via Skype or WhatsApp with family and complete all school assignments at home. Lisa would like to complete high school and attend college. However, due to the sponsor's financial difficulties due to health issues, the sponsor is not able to provide this minor with a laptop. With the purchase of this laptop Lisa will continue to excel in school. Lisa will also continue learning English in her spare time by enrolling in online ESL classes. Most importantly, Lisa will be able to communicate with her mother in her home country to ensure her safety and well-being.

VISA Gift Card

This gift request will greatly benefit an unaccompanied child with Church World Service (CWS). ME is a 17-year-old minor from Honduras who is a survivor of human trafficking that is trying to get himself together in Georgia. ME does not have anyone to look after him and lives on his own.

He migrated to the United States to seek safety and refuge due to feeling like his life was at risk in his country only to endure human trafficking when he arrived in the United States. He is currently sleeping on the floor on some bed sheets. His caseworker has been working with him and can see the struggle and pain he has endured throughout his life. Though ME has been through things no child should ever have to such as living in poverty and having to give up his education to provide for his family and being a victim of human trafficking, he is resilient and deserves a great life. A Target gift card is being requested for ME so he can buy a proper bed frame and a mattress set to have one of his necessities met. Everyone and every child deserves to sleep in a bed and not on a floor. He has expressed that he will be grateful for receiving a donation to purchase a bed to sleep in. It will assist him with being more productive and having the energy to get up in the morning. It will be a great help to give a bed to a minor in need that does not have much. Thank you so much for making this child’s life better. Posted 8/1/23.
