A child's three younger brothers entered foster care due to medical neglect that resulted in one of the boys being hospitalized. The oldest sister was placed with her father and grandmother who she had not lived with before. Her father is working hard to provide her with stability and is grateful that she is placed with him rather than entering foster care. They are in need of a bed frame, mattress & bedding for her.

A 16 year old youth has recently entered care after being removed from his family. The youth suffered a tragic accident when he was 12, leaving him with a traumatic brain injury and wheel chair bond. After multiple attempts to locate an appropriate placement for the youth, fictive kin came forward to provide the youth with the care and support that he needs. Unfortunately, the fictive kin are having to quickly transform their home to make it wheel chair accessible. The family was provided with a ramp for the youth but it does not fit their home and does not allow them to freely move the child in and out of the home for school and his many medical appointments. The agency is asking for funds or assistance with obtaining an appropriate ramp for the home and installation. The type of ramp needed for the youth is expensive and not covered by insurance at this time. Any assistance to help this youth and the family be as safe and mobile as possible would be greatly appreciated. In addition to the wheel chair ramp, the couple is having to remove their current dining room table to allow the youth more room to navigate his wheel chair. Therefore, the agency is asking assistance in obtaining/finding a smaller table and chairs for the home.

youth needs a bed and bed frame. He needs this as soon as possible

I am working with a client who is in need of financial support. She was recently hurt at work and had to get a doctor's note. Human Resources at her job is taking their time processing the paperwork and because of this she has not been able to return to work for the last 3 weeks (she does not have short term disability benefits at this time). On top of that her food stamp benefits have been cut down and she is unable to afford food and gas for the month. In order to stabilize her while she waits for her job to get things in order for her to return to work, a food gift card and a gas gift card would be helpful to get her through the next couple of weeks!

A single mom in our community has a five year old daughter, who is SO excited to begin school in the fall! She is extremely social, imaginative, bright, and kind. Her mom is extremely hard-working, and picks up as many shifts at work as she possibly can. She is seeking for her daughter to be able to attend an afterschool program so that she may continue working overtime to provide for her family, while also having the peace of mind that her daughter is in a safe and caring environment, as the school day is shorter than her daughter’s previous daycare schedule. However, the registration fee for the afterschool program comes with a steep price tag of $80. There are limited spots that fill up quickly, and the mom has been devoting her earnings towards other bills and necessities for the family and does not currently have these funds available. Having this need met would help her to continue to build the life she is working toward for her family. Thanks in advance for caring for this need!

My client is a mom of three kiddos. Her youngest is 10 months and is starting to want to walk. He is getting into everything and mom is not able to multi task like she would want to as she has to make sure he is safe. Mom is needing a baby gate to prevent her 10 month old from getting into the kitchen and messing with items he should not be. The size of the baby gate needed would be 40 inches wide at its max. Mom just needs one as her unit is small and the kitchen is the main place that she wants to keep him out of. Preferably the baby gate should not screw into the wall since client is in a rental unit.

An example for an adjustable baby gate is: Go To Link

My client and her 2 year-old son just moved into a trailer/mobile home after living out of their car and in emergency shelter spaces. No that this family has been provided with safe house, my client is working to maintain stability in a rent-to-own program that will eventually provide her with the title to her home Due to her recent living situations, my client does not have any furniture or household items; although she is working with me and various other resources to secure her tangible needs, mattresses and bed are extremely hard to come by.

My client is asking for assistance in getting mattresses and frames for both herself and her son. We are requesting one twin mattress and frame (this will serve her son over the next few years as he grows) and one queen mattress and bed frame. Although my client does not have any special preferences for herself, she feel in love with this bed frame for her son: Go To Link She would love to be able to provide this to him and is working on saving up her money to do so.

We recognize that mattress and frames are expensive, big ticket items, so we appreciate any help or single item that can be provided. My client wanted to thank you all in advance for the work you do and help you give to families.

I have worked with my client for over a year. She has been living in tight living conditions and has thankfully moved to a bigger unit last week! She had to get rid of a lot of her furniture when she moved and desperately needs a twin bed frame for her daughter who is disabled. Her daughter does have a twin mattress already. Client would mainly need two sets of twin sheets and a twin bed frame.

Client also needs a full bed for herself. She is sleeping on an air mattress and has been for the last year since we started working together. She finally has her own room and would love to start making their new place feel like home!

I have a client who is living at a large apartment complex with his kids. The upstairs neighbors are very loud and keep them up at night. My client has taken his concerns to the office at his apartment, but the apartment complex told him that any evidence my client can send in of the neighbors being loud would not be received, as the apartment themselves have to catch the tenants above them being loud with their own evidence. Client is very frustrated. He has surgery coming up for his knee, and due to his physical barriers is only able to work 10 hours a week. With his current income he is only able to provide necessities. Client is looking for a couple of box fans to try and drown out the upstairs neighbors so that him and his kiddos can sleep more peacefully during the night. Example of box fan needed: Go To Link
