Two teenage girls were recently removed from their father's care by Child Protective Services and placed with their maternal grandmother. The grandmother also has custody of two young male grandchildren and finances are tight. These gift cards would allow the grandmother to purchase appropriate, seasonal, and well-fitting clothing and footwear for her granddaughters. Having these items will allow the teens to attend school and feel more comfortable, thus increasing their self-esteem and sense of belonging. Their father's income is very low, and the children's clothing was limited prior to their placement with grandmother.

Two parents and three young children moved into their grandparents' home which is very cluttered and stuffed full of generational belongings. Due to the cramped quarters and mass number of items that need to be gotten rid of, the children have limited space to sleep and be active adolescents. By obtaining a dumpster, this would assist the family with quick removal of these unnecessary items, and give the family a cleaner, more comfortable, and healthier environment in in which to prosper. A 7-day rental for a 15-yard dumpster from Twin Bridges is $626 after taxes and fees. After 7 days, it costs $10 a day until removal. Currently, we are requesting a 2-week rental which total approximately $700.90 if the family does not go over the 2-ton weight limit of debris.

A young couple with a newborn baby are in need of some extra support. They need some supplies for their baby. Items include: baby thermometer, giftcard for groceries, and 2 dressers. They are also in need of having their oil tank refilled for heat. This will hold them over while they wait for the assistance to kick in from the county.

To whom it may concern, I am making this request in efforts to assist a mother and father who have 7 children. The family is currently placed in a motel through Washington County DSS due to unsafe living conditions at their prior residence. The youngest child (2 months old) was born with medical issues which required weeks of inpatient hospital care. The mother stayed with the baby at the hospital while he was receiving treatment while the father continued to care for the remaining children at home. The mother and infant have since been discharged from the hospital and are staying with a family resource as this resource has background in the medical field. The resource has assisted the mother in the infant’s ongoing medical care and transportation to follow up medical appointments. The mother would like to be able to take the infant for walks to get fresh air and is in need of a stroller. The family struggles financially and cannot afford to purchase a stroller at this time.

A family made up of bio mom, bio dad, 2 teenage boys and an 8 year old girl recently had to downsize their home. They have been working to navigate how to organize all of their items effectively and so that everyone can live comfortably. These items will assist them with this and help them to maintain their home.

The hampers and laundry baskets will be for the children (2 teenage boys and an 8yo girl). The room divider is for a shared bedroom to give each personal space (a neutral tone/color would be best). The cleaning supplies they are looking for are any for the bathroom/kitchen and paper towels.

A young child and their elderly caretaker live in a rural area and have a chronic, severe lice infestation. The caretaker has treated the child's lice several times with at-home treatments, but the lice continue to be an issue, and the family is now in need of intensive treatment from Miracles on Lice, an organization that specializes in chronic infestations. Recently, a schoolteacher reported they removed over 30 live lice from the child's head in a 15-minute period. School staff are beginning to report that the presence of lice is so severe that they are unable to educate the child properly as she is distracted with the itching on her head. School staff also shared, two other children in the classroom contracted lice and they are worried that other students and staff will also be affected by the lice.
While the child and caretaker receive treatment, they should stay at a nearby hotel as it is a multi-day process by Miracles on Lice staff and the home should be vacant as the lice will not survive without a host.

This request has been responded to and in the midst of being fulfilled.

The family is in need of a couch. They do not have a place right now where they can gather as a family to enjoy each other's company as a whole. The mother is working hard to make ends meet but is struggling. A couch would take some of the burden off her shoulders.

Single mother with low income has two young children who are able to open the family's front door on their own which places them at risk of getting outside without appropriate supervision. Mom does her best to keep eyes on the children at all times, and this safety lock would help prevent the children from being able to gain access to the outdoors and potential dangers.

The washing machine for a family of 6 recently broke which has resulted in the mother having to hand wash everyone’s clothing. The family's income is limited. Not long ago, parents replaced the children’s bed and furniture which impacted their finances, and the family could really use help with obtaining new bedding and a washing machine. The 4 children's beds are Twin XL in size so specific sheets will need to be purchased.

A single father is having difficulty with bed bugs in the home. They are in need of extermination treatment for the bed bugs but the family does not have the financial resources to obtain the treatment. The child is also in need of a large youth winter jacket. Any assistance that you can provide to help improve the child's wellbeing would be extremely helpful!

A family which includes a mother, father and three children recently moved into their own home. They are struggling to keep up with laundry since their dryer doesn't work. They do have a washer, but do not have the space to hang dry their laundry. They are hoping to be provided with a dryer, but in the meantime are looking for assistance for paying for the laundromat.

The family has been provided the laundromat gift card. They are still in need of an electric dryer.
