A mother whom currently resides in Clay county has lost custody of her children and they are currently in Children's Division care and custody. The mother was residing with the father in their home; however, one day he never returned from "work" and had taken their only working vehicle, most of the money in their accounts, the mother's methadone, and left the mother in the home with past due bills. The mother could greatly benefit from assistance with paying her past due bills so that she can at least have another month or so in her home until a better situation is located for her. The home is way past due on mortgage, I believe she stated 3 payments are past due and we are worried about the home being foreclosed on and mom becoming homeless because of this.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing
We are seeking support for a family of three—a single father and his two children—who are in need of a carpet cleaner to help maintain a clean and healthy living environment. The father is working hard to care for his children and provide stability, but with limited resources and time, deep cleaning tasks like carpet care have become a challenge.
Providing a carpet cleaner—either as a donation or on loan—will make a meaningful impact in helping this family maintain their home, contributing to a more stable and nurturing environment for the children. This practical support will not only ease the father’s burden but also help strengthen the placement and long-term well-being of the family.
Need:
A functioning carpet cleaner (new)
Optional: cleaning solution or accessories if available
Please reach out if you're able to help support this family.
Thank you for your compassion and generosity in helping keep this family together and thriving!

Grandma is raising 8 of her grandchildren. She is requesting a day bed or a day bed with a trundle underneath. Three of her grandchildren are under the age of three. She likes to rock them to sleep in her arms. She would like to have a daybed in the living room so she would be able to rock them to sleep and transfer them over to the day bed so they can nap. They are too heavy for her to carry them asleep to their rooms. Also, she would love to have a wide rocking chair so both her and her grandbabies can fit while she is rocking them. Grandma is the backbone of the family. She needs to take care of her body in order to be able to care for all her grandbabies.
