A mother is in need of a dresser for her infant daughter. Mother is on a limited income as she receives Social Security monthly due to having a low cognitive functioning level. Mother is doing a good job at meeting the child's needs. This is the first time she has been given the opportunity to parent full-time on her own. Mother needs a dresser to better utilize the limited space in her home and the child's room. Mother would like to use the top of the dresser as a changing area with a foam supportive pad to lay across the top so a shorter sized dresser is preferable.

Two children just moved in with a kinship placement, and they are in need of two mattresses. This will help meet the basic needs of the children and ensure the kids have a safe and comfortable sleeping arrangements. When the kids reunify with their father, the beds will follow them so they can still have safe and comfortable sleeping arrangements in their own home as well.

This aunt and uncle are caring for their two nieces and one nephew. Due to this placement happening quickly the couple were not prepared for the three extra people in the home. They are in need of some ideas including 1 twin bunk with bedding and pillow and 1 twin bed with bedding and pillow, 2 dressers and a window screen. These items would help in order to get their home study passed which is necessary to consider them as a more permeant placement.

A child recently reunified with her biological daughter. He had a bed for her but is a too small for her. He is working very hard to take care of her and meet all of her needs but he is on a fixed income and receives disability and is unable to work. The family is in a good place minus the situation with the bed.

A resilient family of five in our community has just secured housing after being evicted. They spent time in a hotel while searching, and now, with great determination and strength, they’ve found a new place to call home. The father is working hard to support his family, but with high rent and the cost of living, they’re facing the heavy burden of starting over with very little. They’re in need of essential furnishings to help make this space a true home. Specifically, they need 3 beds (a bunk bed would be wonderful), a couch, and basic kitchen supplies. We hope to ease their transition and give them the chance to focus on settling in—without having to use their limited income on furniture. This family has already overcome so much. Let’s come together to support them during this time of rebuilding. If you can donate or share, your kindness will make a lasting impact. Please reach out if you’re able to help. Thank you for showing what community really means.

I am working with a single mother of seven kids who is in need of beds for her children. The bed frames she had for the children broke. She is employed but can only make her money go so far with seven kids. This will allow the children to remain with their mother and not enter foster care.

Mother of 2 year old child relapsed and child had to be removed to a relative's care. Relative needs a dresser in order to organize the child's clothing. We are hoping for someone who could help us by providing a dresser for the child so that the family member can keep his room organized.

A Thirteen-year-old boy living with his mother and adult brother requires a bed and bedding. The child is currently sleeping on an air mattress or a couch. Mother has been working at Domino's Pizza and diligently working to improve their living environment, but has not been able to put enough money together to purchase a bed. The bedroom would accommodate a full-size bed. Fulfilling this need would allow the child a comfortable space and a good night's sleep in his own bed. The child has not always had his own room or own personal space. The child enjoys basketball. Here is an Amazon link for a five-piece bedding set: Go To Link

A single father of two is in need of a birth certificate (cost $25 at local Health Dept.) for him to obtain a state ID so he can apply for employment and other community services and food pantries. He also is in need of a electric stove, due to his stove only having 1 burner that works, and the oven no longer works. This will help with the family to prepare meals to ensure the kids are fed well. The children are in need of clothing and shoes. 5-year-old boy wears a 5t or size xs/5. His shoe size is 10c. Then a 3-year-old, size 4t clothing and shoes 9c. This support for the family will help maintain the household and ensure the children's basic needs are met.
