Harper Fixie Bike

Cosette is a migrant from Cuba who fled her homeland with her husband and daughter. Cosette and her family are now living in an apartment located in the Bronx. The client would love to get a bike because the client mentioned that transportation is very expensive in New York.

Once the bike is provided to the client, Catholic Charities will still be able to assist the client with other needs. It’s important to note that the client is undocumented, and her daughter heavily relies on her parents. This donation would be so appreciated by Cosette, thank you for your consideration!

Professional Flash

Jessica fled Ukraine in 2022, at the start of the invasion. Jessica, her husband, their 8-year-old daughter, and Jessica’s cousin sold nearly everything they owned to move to Poland. After a few months in Poland, it became clear that her family could not safely or comfortably live there and they moved to Vermont, USA.

With the help of donors through Hearts You Hold, the family has been able to get their feet back on the ground and start to rebuild their lives. The family has just moved from Vermont to the suburbs of Chicago to be part of a larger Ukrainian community. Jessica was a photographer in Ukraine but was unable to bring her photography equipment with her when she moved. She has acquired a camera through the generosity of an HYH donor but cannot get her photography business up and running without a professional flash. Once Jessica has a flash, she can start taking professional photos and begin building a new portfolio in the States. Posted 8/22/23.

This gift request will greatly benefit an unaccompanied child with Church World Service (CWS). Pancho is a 17- year-old young man who moved from Mexico to the USA to be reunited with his parents and sister in May of 2023. Due to the pandemic and ensuing insecurity in his hometown, he was unable to attend school for 3 years before moving to the USA.

Pancho plans to finish high school in Virginia and then continue his studies in the field of computer science. The teen has been walking two blocks to the public computer space in his neighborhood all summer. Pancho and his mother believe that owning a personal computer would greatly assist the youth in meeting his goal of working in computer technology in the future. We are hoping a generous donor will help fund this request and help Pancho make his dream a reality. Posted 8/3/23.

This gift request will greatly benefit an unaccompanied child with Church World Service (CWS). Jiminy Cricket is a 17-year-old from Nicaragua. He crossed the border to the United States in the hope of seeking a better future for himself.

Jiminy Cricket dreams of being an engineer. He is being sponsored by his uncle who is the only provider for his family and works odd jobs when there is work. Therefore, his income is very limited. Jiminy Cricket lives in a very remote town in Naples, FL. Besides wanting to be an Engineer, he wants to learn English, so that he can completely fulfill his dream. Jiminy Cricket is facing an obstacle to being able to get to school. The school is quite far, and his sponsor is unable to provide for the cost of a roundtrip Uber every day for him to get to school. A laptop will change Jiminy Cricket’s life for the better since he will be able to utilize it to further his education, obtain a GED, and learn English through online classes. Jiminy Cricket and his caseworker at CWS would greatly appreciate the generous support of a donor to fulfill his dream of being an engineer. Posted 8/1/23.

Gift Card

This gift request will greatly benefit an unaccompanied child with Church World Service (CWS). This request is for a family and a 17-year youth named Tinkerbell who is being sponsored by her relative. The relative is the sister, husband, and two minor children (7 y.o.

and 3 mons) of their own. The adults lost their employment and were left without income during the time that Tinkerbell was living with them. The family is in dire need of some assistance with a water and light bill that is overdue. The bills will start accumulating late fees in the month of July. Tinkerbell is aware of this and worries about the instability that this creates in her nucleus family. We are requesting a Visa Card to cover the water and light bill before any shut-off notice is processed. The family owes over $100 for water which was due 7/25/2023 and over $200 for electricity which was due 7/28/2023. The family is residing in an area in Florida where they tried to reach out to community agencies to no avail. We are seeking the support of a generous donor to help us provide Tinkerbell with a stable home environment. Though we understand the need and amount are high, any partial amount you would like to donate will help this client and family. To make a partial donation of any amount, just click the general donation option and make a note when you check out that it is to go towards the Tinkerbell VISA card. Thanks! Posted 7/30/23.

This gift request will greatly benefit an unaccompanied child with Church World Service (CWS). Snow White is a 16-year-old girl from Guatemala who had experienced a very difficult financial situation in their country of origin. Snow White and her younger sister, Jasmine, age 14, were victims of traumatic situations that made them decide to take the road to the United States looking for their older brother and looking for an opportunity to study and have a better future.

On the journey across the border, they experienced hunger, sadness, and uncertainty, but that did not stop them. After weeks of traveling, they were reunified with their brother and his family in Florida. Snow White and Jasmine are very strong and smart girls and are very proactive, but they need support. During the summer they would like to start learning English, and using apps to learn basic language skills before they start school. They are determined to use the opportunity to enroll in the next school year. The family explained that during the immigration process at the border, most of their personal belongings were taken away. The brother has the best intentions to support them to succeed but the financial situation is tight. Snow White and Jasmine will benefit from cell phones to communicate with their parents in their country of origin and educate themselves online while still on summer vacation. Their brother works hard to provide for his family but despite all efforts, he is unable to buy them cell phones to assist them in their needs when school starts. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

This gift request will greatly benefit an unaccompanied child with Church World Service (CWS). Mulan is a 17-year-old girl from Guatemala, who was a victim of traumatic situations in her country of origin. For this reason, she decided to take the road to the United States looking for an opportunity to study and help her family to have a better place to live in the future.

On the journey across the border, she was a victim of abuse, but that did not stop her. After weeks of traveling, she was reunified with her sponsor, and she is currently living with her aunt and her family in FL. During the summer, she would like to start taking online English classes to learn language skills until she is able to enroll into the next school year. The family explained that during the immigration process at the border, most of their personal belongings were taken away. The family is currently experiencing financial difficulties and for this reason, they couldn’t buy Mulan a phone to have permanent communication with her family in her country of origin. The minor will benefit from the cell phone to have access to educate herself learning online and practicing English while still on summer vacation. This phone will not only help Mulan, but it will benefit her aunt who needs to share the phone with Mulan. Mulan’s aunt works hard to provide for her children and now for Mulan, but despite all efforts she is unable to buy her a phone yet to assist in her academic goals. Any help is appreciated!
