Crossroads West Side

There is a family who recently opened their doors to 3 kiddos in need of a home. They are in need of beds so that they have a comfortable place to sleep. They would love if someone would be kind enough to provide them with either 3 twin beds or a bunk bed and 1 twin bed. Bedding will also be needed for these children. Your kindness is greatly appreciated.

Please help a kinship family consisting of a grandmother and her great-grandson! The grandmother, who is starting over raising her great-grandson, who is currently four years old. They need school clothing size 5/6T( gently used clothing), Amazon incontinence underwear, and PediaSure milk 24 pack( Vanilla or Strawberry).

Her grandson has an autism diagnosis and experiences sensory issues with bladder sensations, as well as heightened sensitivity to tastes and textures. He currently wears pull-up diapers, but he is discouraged about potty training because he refuses to use them. The grandmother wants to encourage his independence by purchasing washable incontinence underwear, which would also help prevent any potential bullying at school. She is worried that when he starts school in August, he may be teased by other children. Unfortunately, due to her fixed income, she cannot afford this expense out of pocket.

Additionally, she needs PediaSure milk, which is no longer covered by WIC since her grandson has aged out of the program. He will not drink regular milk or any other substitutes because of his sensory sensitivities.

A donation would significantly help this family, as the grandmother struggles to buy these essential items on her limited income. Thank you for considering helping them!

62248310- A caregiver has reached out to OhioKAN seeking assistance in securing rental support for the month of June. After recently moving into a new residence, she received an emergency placement of her three-year-old granddaughter and had to allocate funds to provide essential items to ensure the child's safety, comfort, and well-being. As a result, she is now facing a $200 shortfall for her upcoming rent payment. Despite her efforts to maintain a stable home environment and fulfill the child's needs, the unexpected financial burden has left her unable to pay her full rent by June 1st. Given that this will be her first complete month in the residence, she is afraid to disrupt the relationship with her new landlord. Any financial assistance available to help her maintain stability for the child during this transition would be greatly appreciated.

Dad has received custody of his 9 month old son. He is in need of a car seat. He is a young father with limited means, and he would benefit from having this assistance. We would prefer a convertible carseat that the child could grow with.

The agency is involved with a family who needs help getting a bed for their 12 year old son.

Mom is raising her child alone and has been working with community organizations throughout the year successfully to keep her kiddo on track which has made significant impact and gains in school, but has financially gotten behind.

I am working with a kinship caregiver (grandmother) who is working on getting her license to be an in-home child care provider not only for the two grandbabies she is working on getting full legal custody of, but also to serve families in the community by providing quality childcare. To help her provide quality care for her grandchildren, she is looking for a wagon to carry them in when she is out and about.

Single mother of 2 boys ages 15 and 3 in need of rental assistance. Any amount contributed will greatly help this family. 1100 is needed in total for partial rent for May and June. Mother just started a new job and paid to have a window in her vehicle fixed and due to this unexpected cost she has fallen behind in rent. Mother is working full time and can maintain future payment but is unable to catch up and maintain the basic needs of her family.

We are working with a lady that obtain her twin nieces from JFS in order to prevent them from going into the foster care system. She is young (in her early 20's) and not married. She is trying to manage these twins on her own and doing an amazing job. She is actually in the process of taking foster care classes in order to receive compensation to help her with the twins. The twins have been placed with her since they were new borns for the past several months and as they grow she is in desperate need of additional items. Some of these items are a necessity in order to be approved as a foster parent. She does work and has to pay for child care which limits her funds.

I currently have two siblings that are in foster care and just completed a home study on a family member that has mattresses for the children, however no bed frames.

A mom we are serving has five children and is pregnant with her sixth child. She home schools her children and has very little help from family or friends. Her children are age 9, 3, twins 2 yrs old and 11 months. She is in need of diapers, wipes, two dressers, two rugs and a toddler bed. She also has a utility bill that needs to be paid by 5/17 or the power will be turned off. This mom is unable to work due to the pregnancy and lack of resources to get her children to daycare. Providing items for this family will help strengthen the family system while mom is still pregnant and waiting for baby's arrival.
