Maternal grandmother took in her grandchildren due to a safety plan implemented by MCDHS. Mom struggles with substance abuse, and grandmother is working to obtain guardianship for the children. Grandmother's income is limited, and she could use a swing or a playpen for the 5 month old. This will help grandma as she is trying to manage all of the children at one time.

I am working with a grandmother who has taken in three children 7-13 and she is struggling to make ends meet and make sure she has enough for them to eat. She has not been served before and the children came into her care on 6/1/23. When I spoke with her last, she stated she needs three pillows, three blankets (twin or larger) and three sheets (twin or larger). The children are currently sleeping on twin beds. She just had concern for food at this time but I am sure she will need toiletries such as shampoo/conditioner/soap soon as well. She also needs $150 to put towards her rent for this month as she has spent the money on the children.
