A very sweet 10-year-old girl entered DHS custody in April. She is autistic and has limited communication. She can say a few words, knows specific words in American Sign Language, and mostly uses gestures to communicate. Despite her limited communication, she is very smart, very creative, and loves to interact with people. She has been in the hospital for over a month and will be entering her first placement outside the hospital soon. She has been borrowing an iPad from the hospital during her stay and has been learning to use a specific program on the iPad to communicate. Currently this child does not have a iPad of her own, and there isn't one available to her at the new placement. Being able to get a new iPad would make it so this very sweet girl would be able to continue making progress in her ability to communicate with the people around her.

We are requesting one twin-size bed (frame and mattress) and two dressers for a sibling pair currently living with their paternal grandmother through a kinship placement. The children a 10-year-old boy and his 6-year-old sister each have their own room upstairs, and we are working to ensure they have appropriate furniture to help create a stable, comfortable home environment.

The 10-year-old boy is a Type 1 diabetic and is currently sleeping on an air mattress, which is not ideal for his medical needs or overall well-being. A supportive twin bed will greatly improve his quality of rest and help with better management of his condition. Both children also need dressers to store their clothing and belongings, which will support organization and a sense of stability in their new home.

Since moving in with their grandmother, the children have adjusted well and are showing positive signs of growth and security. This kinship home provides a safe and loving environment, and meeting these furniture needs will help strengthen that foundation even more.

We are requesting two twin-size beds (frames and mattresses) for two teenage boys currently placed in a loving kinship home. Currently, they are sharing a queen-size bed due to limited resources. While they have the option to sleep in separate rooms, they have expressed a strong desire to remain together in the same room for comfort and stability.

Since being placed in this home in March, the boys have made remarkable progress both academically and behaviorally. Their grades have significantly improved, and their overall well-being has taken a complete 180 turn. This environment has proven to be a nurturing and supportive space where they are truly thriving.

To continue fostering their growth and stability, we are hoping to provide them with two separate beds so they can share a room while having their own personal sleeping space. Your support in helping make this kinship placement a lasting success would be deeply appreciated.
