Single Mom of two boys ages 14yrs and 7yrs has finally been able to receive housing. The family has lived in a motel for five months due to unforseen family circumstances. Mom is struggling to furnish apt with beds. Mom works and is trying to catch up on other overdue bills. The family is sleeping on an air matress as of now. I would love for them to have their own beds in their own rooms to sleep in, as I feel it will give them privacy, help them sleep better and be better productive in school with a good nights rest.

The child in need is 11 years old and in sixth grade and has a history of poor attendance at school. The child is below level academic performance, has debilitating social anxiety and is autistic, in addition to having multiple other mental health and physical health diagnoses, having had well documented struggles since the first grade. This last year, the school initiated academic testing to assist the child with the unique academic needs, while the child continued to struggle to attend school. Given the child's continued difficulty with sleep disturbances and social phobias, the school threatened to report the parents to law enforcement. The parents are both dealing with financial hardships due to dad being laid off a week after our case opening and the mom being on doctor ordered medical leave due to sleep difficulties and what she believed to be narcolepsy. The family feels at this time that their best option is to home school and have submitted the necessary documentation to the school for intent and the Individualized Homeschooling Instruction Plan to the district. The current concern is the family is planning to utilize the Time for Learning Online Program but do not have access to a laptop and unfortunately the home does have cockroaches and they are fearful to attempt to borrow or rent a laptop from a Rent-A-Center because the roaches will likely get into the equipment. Mom recently went back to work a week ago and is trying to get bills caught up from being out of work since March.

I am working with a family of six that has a bad infestation of cockroaches in the home. Currently mom and the four young kids ages 10,6,4 and a newborn are staying with a family member due to the condition of the home. The condition of the home needs to improve in order for the family to return to the home.
