I have a single mother who currently in between employment. She recently had her children returned to her home/care full time after an out of home placement. She reports that the family member that had the children did not return any of the clothing to her that belonged to the children. She has been utilizing the same couple outfits for the children for the week.

5-year-old male- Kids 5/6 in shirts and pants, underwear-size 5, shoes- kids 13/1 3-year-old female- 4t in shirts and pants, underwear- size 4, shoes- kids 9 1 year old female- 12/18-month shirt and pants, shoes size 2

A family we've been involved with recently has faced a number of hardships and have now found themselves without car seats to safely transport their children. The vehicle the father was driving at the time contained two car seats and the vehicle was in an accident and totaled. Therefore, the car seats are no longer considered safe and need to be replaced. The vehicle was not in the father's name and the insurance won't be able to pay to replace the car seats. The family needs a booster and a 5 point harness car seat.

We recently became involved with a family and their 3 children after the father unexpectedly passed away. The mother is now trying to fix her home on her own but is struggling with resources to get the materials needed. She has her father who will help her with the physical work itself, but is needing assistance on getting materials. The trailer had a leak that ruined their subflooring and it is currently unsafe for the children to walk on. The leak also caused black mold so parts of the walls had to be removed so those are needing replaced as well. We’re hoping that a gift card for either Lowes or Home Depot could be provided so that mom can get her kids back into their home and back to some normalcy after losing their father.

We are working with a mother who has been through a very challenging situation recently, losing her significant other unexpectedly, among other various events. We are working to reunify her with her children, as she is working through several programs to support her ongoing recovery in addiction and to address the grief she is working through. She is trying to ensure she can maintain visitation with her two children, who are currently about an hour away from her residence. The placement is unable to provide transportation for mom. We are looking for someone who would be willing to provide transportation (at least up to 30 min. drive to a local park) to and from a visit over the upcoming weekend and/or a gift card to utilize Uber to maintain in person contact with the children and maintain momentum on the plan to return them home.
