We have a relative caregiver that is foster licensed and has taken in 3 children. She is able to meet the children's needs in general but is currently in need of a toddler seat and does not have the extra income to afford this right now. The child is 3 feet tall and approximately 45 pounds.

This caregiver has taken in twin girls age 13 and she has a 14 year old daughter herself. This caregiver is a recent amputee and is unable to work at this time. She has been denied disability benefits and only receives $23 a month in food stamps. She is in a 2 bedroom apartment but is on a list for a 3 bedroom apartment. She is requesting 1 twin bed and bedding, personal hygiene needs, school supplies, clothes (size 10-12), shoes (size 8.5), and immediate grocery assistance. In addition, she would like a gift card for Cali’s Beauty Supply so that she can get hair needs for the girls so that they can attend school and not be bullied.

This caregiver has taken in 2 children that she is about to be licensed for but a third child was recenlty placed with her. In order for her to have appropriate sleeping arrangements, she will need another bed and due to the room size, a bunk bed is being requested.

The caregiver has taken in 2 children and is awaiting foster are licensing. She reports that she is in need of a booster seat for child (5yo). She is also in need of clothing for both male, age (5) & male age (12) The 5 y.o. need a size 6 top and bottoms. The 12 y.o. wears size 14/16 for top and bottoms. She states she is fine with being contacted by outside sources in reference to this request

This family is in the process of reunification. The mother has everything she needs for the completion of reunification, the only thing they are missing is a television. I have had an opportunity to observe this family, and I think this family could benefit from a television because much of their time together is spent individually on their phone, which could lead to a disconnect and limited interaction. A television could serve as a shared activity that encourages more quality family bonding, shifting focus away from individual phone use.

Toddler bed needed. A grandmother is the caregiver and needs a toddler bed for this toddler.

I am writing to request assistance for a dedicated single mother of four children, ages 3 to 8, who is experiencing financial hardship despite working full-time with additional evening shifts. While managing childcare costs and temporary hotel accommodations, she is seeking clothing support for her children's upcoming school year and professional attire to advance her career goals. Any clothing donations would significantly help this hardworking family transition toward greater stability and self-sufficiency.
