Family of four recently had flooding in their first floor apartment. One of the parents does have some physical limitations. They are seeking clothing and diapers for their two young boys to east some financial burdens in their home. Children are both boys and in size 3T and 24 month clothes. They are in 3t-4T diapers and size 6 diapers.

The department is currently working with a family who is experiencing financial difficulty and relies on a single income. The mother stays at home to care for their children while the father works full-time to support the family. At this time, they are in urgent need of assistance with clothing and essential hygiene products such as diapers and pull-ups for their young children. Any support provided would greatly benefit the family, ensuring that the children are properly dressed and maintaining healthy hygiene practices during this challenging period.

Below is a breakdown of the children’s current needs: 8-month-old female: Clothing size 6–9 months and size 2 diapers 3-year-old male: Clothing size 4T and pull-ups size 3-4T 2-year-old male: Clothing size 3T and pull-ups size 3-4T 4-year-old female: Clothing size 5T and pull-ups size 4-5T

Your generous assistance would be immensely appreciated and will go a long way in helping to ensure the well-being and comfort of these children.

Thank you for your consideration and support.

This is not a family we have helped before.

Read Mountain Middle Guidance Department reached out to me regarding services and support for a transient, homeless, student and their family. The student is intellectually disabled and the mother is on a fixed income, they currently are residing in the basement of a residence. The family fell behind on their electric (totaling 1232) and received a disconnection notice that it was to be disconnected 4/16/25. After pleading with the electric company, the mother was able to get the notice to 462, and pay the remainder on the 1st when she receives her check. The mother is at a loss and is worried about leaving her disabled child in the dark. I am working with her to find other resources such as electric assistance, housing assistance, etc.

They are located in Roanoke area. The mother is willing to work/repay donations, (although I discussed this with her). This could also be a family that could benefit from food boxes, etc.

A young mother needs help getting diapers and formula for her 9 month old son. He's currently on Alimentum baby formula (purple container) and wears size 3, almost 4 in diapers. He's also starting to crawl and mom needs some baby proofing items for her kitchen cabinets, doors, etc.

The Department is humbly seeking assistance in our extended community for donations to help reunify a biological family safely. The mother is a domestic violence survivor who was previously residing in a shelter until she was able to obtain stable housing with a FUP voucher by the Department's support. This is the first time in her life she has been able to possess a space of her own. She has limited supplies for the children as she exhausted her resources purchasing their basic needs. She is consistently working on improving her environment to cater to her children's return. She spends many hours of her day advancing the residence into a nurturing space. Nevertheless, she is in desperate need of a stackable washer/dryer. She is a young mother for two children, two and under. We strongly believe it would be difficult attempting to accurately supervise two children while cleaning/folding clothes at the laundromat for an extended time. Thank you for your consideration.

(This is a follow up to a recent request with the updated need.) There is a single father in the county who is on disability and doing all he can to provide the best for his two children (a pre-teen & teenager). There is limited support received from the mother. The family has been without a working oven for quite some time. It was recently assessed by an appliance repairment who concluded that it cannot be repaired. Therefore the family is need of a new or used oven so the family is better able to cook meals to nourish the family appropriately. The family is also connected with a local ministry/organization who has an eye out for an oven that the family may be able to take.

Mom is a single mother who works full time to help provide for the children. She is doing okay financially however several months ago she began having mental heath concerns which caused the state of her home to get out of control. Mom has family in the area that have helped clean (somewhat) and they have also housed the family for several days due to the initial state of the home. DSS has put in referrals for mental health services for the mother which she anticipates starting the end of this month. FSS has been conducting periodic check ins at the home to make sure it is clean. The home is more so messy at this point in time as mom seems to have hit a wall with help cleaning and her own mental health. I am making this request to see if there is a local cleaning company who could provide a one time clean for the family or members of the community who would be willing to help mom clean to get everything done at once. The mother has been very compliant with DSS and is willing to do what she needs to care for the children. She cannot afford a cleaning service at this point in time. Please consider helping this family!

Aunt has taken in two children, one boy and one girl, ages 11 and 10. The boy was recently hit by a car while riding a scooter. The children have experienced so much trauma in their short life, having to move to so many different family's homes. Aunt is getting the children into a good routine and trying to make life as normal as possible for them. Aunt is retired, on a fixed income and states they have most everything they need, but the children really do need some underclothes (bras, underwear, socks, t-shirts). Aunt has applied for TANF but will not receive that for a while. I am requesting a $150 gift card to Wal-Mart so the Aunt can purchase some necessities for the children.

I have a female student who is in need of size 10 jeans. She shared with me that she is down to two pairs of pants that fit and her favorite pair just got a hole in them and they are now unwearable. We are fortunate to have a clothes closet here at school that she utilizes often, but there weren't any pants in her size. If you are able to fulfill this need, you are welcome to drop them off here at the high school! Thank you for your consideration.

A family with 6 children, all ages 5 and under, came to Roanoke to pursue medical resources for several of the children's health needs. The 3 month old twins in the sibling group require special care due to their cardio pulmonary medical issues. The parents have no support system in the area. The family is struggling financially, and needs assistance with multiple items. The family also hopes to make acquaintances in Roanoke so they will feel less isolated.
