Our older youth was in florida when she was pulled over for driving without headlights on, and driving without a license. She was driving to pick up her 6 month old daughter from the person who was watching her. This youth has been trying to work and get the money to pay for the tickets but the cost of having her daughter, and getting her the items that she needs comes first. The tickets are $113 and $166. we are desperately trying to help her pay this so that she does not get a warrant issued for not paying the fines. She has been an amazing mother to her daughter, and this has been a stressful situation for her. My email is ******@email.com

Hello, I am an Intensive In Home specialist with Cornerstones of Care and I am writing on behalf of my client who is a single father that is raising three children ages 6, 5 and 2 all on his own with little to no support from family. The father is disabled and cannot work therefore money is tight. He is trying very hard to provide for his children, however, does not have the funds for the little extra stuff that make a house a home. Therefore, the family could use some help providing them with linens. The family currently does not have any and everyone is sleeping on bare mattresses. This would go a long way toward making the children feel happy and safe in their pretty beds, making their rooms their own and getting comfortable with keeping their own rooms clean. The oldest child loves unicorns or princesses, the middle child loves spiderman and the youngest child loves Mickey Mouse. The two oldest have twin mattress and the youngest has a toddler mattress. Thank you so much for everything you do! This is an invaluable resource to us and the families we try to help.
