Client is a single, working mom of four children, her youngest being a nine-month-old baby boy who is approximately 20 pounds. Client is in need of a highchair for her baby, as he is struggling with the transition from formula to food. Client would greatly benefit from a highchair so that she can multitask in feeding her baby while helping care for her other kids.

Per First Care policy, equipment must be brand new. Client is wanting a general highchair that can grow with her baby as he gets older and bigger, preferably one that is convertible and adjustable.

Mom and six kids ages 3-17 are living in an apartment, struggling financially and are in need of furniture items. Her teenage nephew recently moved in with her and does not currently have a bed. Mom expressed needing a bed, bed frame and dresser for nephew and additional dishes/silverware/cups for the family. They are also in need of a microwave. Nephew requested a blender although mom was clear to categorize that request as a want vs a need. Gently used items welcomed!

Client is a single mom of two and is currently in need of a stroller for her 19-month-old son. Client explained he is quickly outgrowing his old stroller as he is 25 pounds, and is in need of one that can grow with him. Client would like a 2 in 1 convertible toddler stroller, preferably one that is also collapsable for being on the go. Client would greatly benefit from a new stroller as she is currently balancing work, school, and parenting; and would have one of her biggest needs met by receiving a stroller.

Spanish speaking. This family of 6 recently immigrated to the US, they have 3 minor children (all boys, ages 2, 11, and 15) and one 18-year-old son. They moved into a new place and need some household items to feel more settled. They do not have very much furniture and need a dining room table and prefer one that is like a folding card table with 4 chairs for the children to do their homework and eat meals. They need a sofa couch and bedding for their full-sized bed. The bedding needed is a protective waterproof bed cover, full-sized sheet set. This will provide a better sense of well-being, which is very important for their culture and this family. The family resides in a single family home. There are cement steps to get into the home.

In need of a bunk bed to help the father reunify with his children. The children are two young children who love their father and want to be with him. He struggles with addiction however, he has obtained sobriety over the past two months which is a huge success for him. Any help would be appreciated.

This student's family is at risk of losing their housing because of increasing prices and Grandma (guardian) losing her job. She is struggling to get unemployment or any other support. She works incredibly hard to take care of her grandson and who has a high level of needs. As the head of household for a house of 6 people, she does a huge amount of work.

Grandma just finished school and is hoping to find a job soon, but right now things are very difficult. The housing instability is causing our student increased stress during the school day, which is greatly impacting his ability to control his emotions at school and learn. He has gone through a huge amount of trauma in his life, so any additional stressors cause him to become very disregulated.

Household members: Grandma, Great-grandfather, 13 year old, 20 year old, 8 year old (our student), 11 month old.

I gave grandma a financial assistance resource, but support in other ways would be incredibly appreciated to help this student be more successful in school and for the family to maintain their housing.

Grandma indicates the major need is assistance with food. Feeding a family of 6 is very expensive. Any gift card or delivery of groceries would be appreciated. (Walmart, Cub, etc). Thank you.

Children in early community education programs are in need of basic clothing. I am requesting underwear, black/navy sweatpants and black mittens.
