There is a family that had their water shut off due to non-payment of their sewer bill. There is one child in the home, the child's mother, and the grandmother of the child. The grandma is on a fixed income with disability and most of the disability payment goes to rent. Mother is not currently working due to some mental health issues. The family is not eligible for assistance through CAP due to previous assistance in this calendar year. The family called Catholic Charities, and they only accept applications on Mondays. The family must pay the full balance plus restoration fee of $629.95 to get their water back on.

Please assist a relative foster placement with obtaining some needed items for her home. Placement indicates she is in need of a foldable kitchen table to better manage the space with two children residing wither, a clothing rack to assist with more laundry, and potentially some assistance in setting up some bunk beds. Anything you can provide would be incredibly helpful. Thank you!

Family of 5 needs assistance paying the light bill. There are young kids in the home. The parent was recently laid off and trying to find work. Thank you in advance.

A single mom with three children is in urgent need of multiple extermination services to address a serious pest problem in their home. The family is struggling with headlice, fleas, cockroaches, mice, and bedbugs, which are affecting their daily lives and well-being. Despite their landlord spending $400 on extermination services last year, the pests have returned, and the issue remains unresolved. The persistent infestation is causing the family significant physical and mental distress

Extermination services will improve the family's social, mental, and physical well-being by creating a safer living environment. This added security will reduce stress and anxiety. A pest-free home will contribute to better school attendance, as children can focus more on their studies without the distraction of pests.
