A family has recently obtained custody of their 3 eldest children who were in kinship placement for a period of time. The family is in need of a full-sized mattress and bedframe, 2 pillows, a bed set, and dresser. Fulfilling this need will enable the eldest child to have an appropriate and comfortable place to sleep following his return home.

This Mom currently has 2 children, a son aged 4 and a daughter aged 5, in the care of GCDSS. She has another child who is with her at home. There is no contact with the bio father. Mom is re-married but currently has no contact with her husband. Mom’s license is currently suspended. The GCDSS is looking to expand visitation with the mother and her 2 children and work towards a trial discharge home. The items requested would be used for this mom to transport all her children safely while she continues to address the issue with her license, as well as provide a safe sleeping area for the newborn upon arrival.

A family of five, soon to be six, moving into their first apartment on May 15th need help getting things together for their new home! With a new little one on the way, the family is looking for a crib for their newest addition.

This family consists of a single mom and her 4 year daughter. The mother has a steady job, but is in need of assistance as she is going through an intense DV situation. The mother is wanting to relocate herself and her child to a relative in Texas where she will receive familial support. The mother is wanting to take her vehicle and some important belongings with her for the move. The mother is needing assistance with gas for the 27 hour drive and with purchasing a trailer to connect to her truck.

Mother has two children, a 1 year old and a 9 year old. Following an incident requiring CPS intervention the 1 year old went to stay with a relative. Mother has worked very hard doing what she needs to do and her 1 year old has been returned to her care. Mother is also in CNA school looking to provide a better life for her family. A toddler bed with mattress would help the family as the 1 year old transitions out of the pack n play. Family income is limited right now until the mother is able to complete her CNA program and find employment.

This family in need consists of a single mother raising her own 3 young children. The mother took responsibility and is caring for a 17-year old family friend. Mom works low paying jobs to pay and make ends meet. The 17-year-old would have ended up in foster care if it wasn't for this mother. The family is requesting a full-size box spring, mattress, and bed frame, XXL shirts, sweatpants, and shorts (male).

This family in need has a 17-year-old male who is currently in foster care. The child lives with the father and younger sibling in a very small apartment. The child would like to start weekend visits with the family but does not have a bed. Due to limited space, the family could use a twin over twin bunk beds. A bed for the child would be an important step in re-unity. Thank you for your help!

The child would really like to go on a home visit to see dad; however, having no bed to sleep on is holding that up. Is it possible to temporarily provide an air mattress until an actual bed (mattress, frame and/ or box spring) can be provided?

This family in need consists of a mother and 3 children. The mother has had a very difficult childhood leading her to a life of drugs and alcohol abuse. The 3 children were removed and place in foster care. Mom has begun treatment, attends all appointments, and secured employment. Mom would love to have her children returned but has nothing. Anything you can provide, she would greatly appreciate. The family is requesting a couch, bedframe, mattress, bedding, dresser, kitchen table and chairs, laundry basket, cleaning supplies.

We have a family in need. The parents have mental health, developmental and physical limitations. They are actively engaged with the supportive services in place by the department; however, they have financial constraints that prevent and are barriers for them to adequately care for their children. They have a daughter who is in foster care and 4 sons in the home that are at risk of being place in foster care. The family is requesting: a vacuum cleaner to help with cleaning/sanitization of the home, pots/pans, storage containers, bed sheets for twin bunk beds (boy), cleaning supplies like soap and bleach for cleaning and sanitizing the kitchen and bathrooms.

Single mom of three recently moved into new apartment in need of dresser for three children.

Single mother currently working full time needs assistance with obtaining a twin sized bed frame, box spring, mattress and bedding set for her 15 year old son. The child is currently sleeping on a couch/recliner in the living room. By assisting the family with this, the child will be able to sleep comfortably in his own room and have privacy.

After the recent passing of their mother, 3 siblings are living with their grandparents. The children have reconnected with grandparents, during this time the children are in need of basic essentials after having to leave their home. Given the adjustment, the family is in need of assistance with clothing and bedding for the children.
