Family needs a refrigerator for their family of 7. Mother has been looking for support from family and community resources to obtain a new refrigerator. Mother has been unable to locate funds and is in dire need of a new refrigerator to be able to salvage some of the recent groceries and also be able to have food in the home for the children. Mother has not been successful. Although, Mother is having that challenge, mother is meeting the case plan goals/court orders. Mother is committed to maintaining the family together. Mother is actively working on fixing her familial relationships. Mother is employed, and is doing everything needed to maintain her family. The main reason I am requesting this need to be fulfilled is for mother to be able to maintain and provide a safe environment for the children and a refrigerator for food. Requesting A BIG SIZED fridge that can have ample room for 7 household members, otherwise the consequence would be that mother will be unable to store food for the family in a safe manner. This need is being requested through Care Portal because unfortunately DCFS can not provide this item as soon as possible and the refrigerator is needed as soon as possible. . The estimated cost of the need/s being requested is insert a realistic estimated $700-1200.00. Mother stated she would take any refrigerator that can be of size to store food and perishable items for her family of 7.

Reportedly, mother and father are currently experiencing financial hardships, and are in need of three twin sized beds or one bunkbed and one twin for the children, ages 13,10 and 8. Neither father nor mother are currently working, and the family cannot allocate funds towards a suitable bed for the children at the moment. The family is also in need of dressers for the children as their current dressers are falling apart.
