Mom is in need of the items above for her four children who were recently safely returned to her after an unrelated investigation revealed the children had been hidden from mom for 2 1/2 years by dad. The children are now safe with mom and no longer have contact with dad, and there will be no support coming from dad to help mom out. Mom has a job and a home, but she could use a little help with getting their bedroom furniture and other items purchased. The children are 16F, 14F, 13M, and 10M.

In addition to the needs above, any board games, age-appropriate toys, bikes, helmets, or hygiene products would be appreciated. This is a lovely family with a caring mom who is elated to have her children back. Mom is working on plans to have her garage turned into a bedroom for the older girls, so they have more space, and she is doing all the things right.

For bedding, the children like the following colors: 16F - likes purple/black/red, 14F - likes black/pink, 13M - likes blue/purple (does not like green), and 10M does not like pink or purple, but is not picky otherwise.

This family has struggled with depression and anxiety since Covid and dealt with a job loss. The family struggles with maintaining the home, due to two large dogs and two cats that were allowed to tear up the home and trashed the furniture. The father is very anxious, and it is almost "debilitating", but he is working with the case worker to remedy the problems in the home and resolve this neglect.

The family is in need of a church to help them get rid of items, clean the house, and help organize the house for better use of space. A truck to haul trash and junk from the house will be helpful or rent a dumpster to place in the driveway to fill it up. The furniture will need to be replaced; the amount is undetermined at this time. When the home is cleaned up and pest control can get rid of the cockroaches, the case worker will provide the father with therapy services. The father is very eager and willing to participate in services and will accept any help that is offered.

This is a family of 7 (5 children)that has been without a home since Nov 2021. They have been living in extended stay since then because their home was sold for public use. They have been searching tirelessly for a home that is large enough and affordable in the Bentonville area for the older children to continue to attend their current schools and for the younger children (3) to be close to the school they attend which is Hope Academy of NWA - a charter school that serves children with trauma and behaviors. They have finally found a home to rent in the area and are now needing help with the deposits. The full deposit is up to $2250 with first and last months rent and another deposit added onto that as well. They are a low income family and they have expended most of their savings while living in the extended care which costs quite a bit more than normal monthly rent. Any help toward the deposit is very much appreciated!
