There is a husband and a wife that agreed to take in all five of the wife's grandchildren. Two of the grandchildren aren't biologically related to her, but despite that she was more than willing to take in all five children so that the siblings wouldn't be separated. The family has been able to provide these children with all of the items that they need with no notice of these children coming into care and needing placement. The three youngest children have a bedroom with a closet and dresser for their belongings to go. But the two oldest don't have a dresser for their clothes yet. We are asking for someone to be able to donate a dresser for the two older girls so that they will have a place for their clothes to go. Having this dresser provided will bring even more stability into their lives as they are making the transition to living with their grandparents. This will also help make getting ready into the morning for school an easier and normal process. Help would be truly appreciated!

I work with a family of 2 adults with 1 male and 2 female children who live well below the poverty line. There are concerns for head lice, roach, and flea infections which we are finding difficult to combat without chemicals. The children are currently sharing a king size bed on the floor. Although this is functional at their age, they would benefit from individual beds, sheets, pillows. (Cleaning Supplies) The family would benefit from a case of RID lice spray and a case of Roach/Flea bombs for the home. The dryer is not working. The family would benefit from a working dryer so they can dry cloth items on high to kill lice eggs on the fabric to combat the infestation.

Mom got out of a domestic violent relationship and had to move quickly. Mom wasn't able to take anything with her. She has nothing and is in need of most things. The most important things are 3 beds(2-twins and 1-queen), dishes, and any living room furniture. They also would take anything they can get for household goods.

Relative foster family adopted their five grandchildren and have two teenage biological children. A family friend's child (12 year old boy) came in to foster care, this family took placement as a "relative placement." Family has a bed, but no extra bedding. Additionally, another dresser (preferably a chest due to space) would be helpful, the child is currently using a basket for his clothing.

I have a parent who does not have transportation other than the city bus. She utilizes resources in town and has many appointments and just started a job so she needs consistency with transportation to make those appointments. She does walk sometimes but the weather is cold and she would appreciate a bus pass for the month to get around

Single mother with 4 children had their house catch on fire last weekend. It was not a total loss but they lost a lot of their belongings due to the smoke damage. They have moved into a new home but still are in need of some things. The children have been having a hard time emotionally dealing with this and have been seeking help at school for their emotional needs. Mom stated that she needs a couch, as hers was destroyed. The fire started in the bedroom closet so most of her clothes were destroyed as well. All of them could use clothes and mom said that she really needed cleaning supplies to clean off what was salvageable from their old house. Mom stated that anything helps because she is overwhelmed currently. She has 4 children and sizes are as follows: boys sizes Kids 5, Kids 8, Men's Medium - boys shoes sizes, 12, 2 wide, and 11.

The gift card is to get the various other items needed in order to make placement
