A family in need of various items. 5 children were displaced from their home and placed with grandparents. The grandparents are in need of a bunk bed. There is also a newborn child is also in need of various help with blankets and other essential items. The grandparents are doing their best to help provide for all 5 children and also having custody of their other 2 grandchildren. Due to the unforeseen placement they need help with this bunk bed to allow room for all 7 children. In order for these children to remain with their grandparents they will need appropriate beds. There is also a 6 year old non-verbal autistic child they is in need of a communication tablet that would help with his speech and communication with his needs. The agency is providing diapers and formula monthly to the family in this time of need to help support. We want these siblings to remain together in a loving safe home with their grandparents. The grandparents have found a van that would better utilize the family and are in need of $600 to secure this van as one of the cars broke down and this would allow the grandparents to travel together in one car.

The parents are in an inpatient treatment to be able to provide a safe and sober life for their children. Any help for this family would be greatly appreciated and the family thanks you in advance.

I am currently working with a family who is need of household/safety items for their two children. There is an infant child and a 5 year old child with high needs due to extreme behaviors. The family is in need of two baby gates, two top of the door locks or door alarms. The family is also in need of some sort of tall "thinner" plastic drawer/dresser to store the children's clothing and help organize the home. These items will help ensure the children's safety in their home.

A single mother of 6 is in need of curtains for her apartment (curtains and curtain rods for 6 windows). She also is in need of comforters/ blankets for her children, any amount is fine (as well as used). Lastly, a toddler bed for her daughter. These resources will help the mother be able to ensure her home is safe and suitable for her family.

Family needs help with my rent for this month. This is the family of two of the students we serve at GES.

A dedicated kinship caregiver and her 12-year-old niece are in need of utility assistance. The family has fallen behind and could use some help catching up to ensure they can cover their expenses moving forward. They owe $241 to Centerpoint and $472 to AES. The caregiver explained that if she could receive help with these overdue bills, it will take a huge weight off her shoulders, and she would be able to cover the balance moving forward. Thank you!

Single Mom of four who regained custody in the past year is in desperate need of a used washer and dryer to save money on going to the laundry mat!

Grandma and her 4-year-old grandson's window AC unit just broke, and given the intense heatwave we are experiencing, the family is in desperate need of a new unit. Grandma's funds must go toward rent, food, etc., therefore, they need help paying for a new unit. If possible two units would make a huge difference for this family and allow them to live comfortably this summer. thank you!
