I have a grandmother that ended up with 3 children under the age of 5. The 5 year old is autistic and so she has no daycare that will take him and she has not been able to work as many hours and got behind in her water bill and is afraid they will turn her water off and it will cost her even more to get it turned back on, She has made some payments but is still behind. Her mother has helped with rent and this CG is struggling. Please help if possible.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family
We are currently working with a family who would benefit from two trundle beds. Four female children are sharing a small bedroom with two beds in which they all share. There is limited space in the bedroom for the children to relax, do homework, etc. The children have articulated concern for the limited space. Trundle beds would allow for increased living space for the children and would positively impact their mental health to allow for proper space and beds that accommodate the needs of these children. The mother has not been able to purchase trundle beds for the children but they would greatly appreciate any support in helping them achieve this vision for safety and stability for four wonderful children.

Single pregnant mother with 2 children is out of work and father abandoned the family. She is actively looking for work. We have been able to get rental assistance to help with the financial crisis, but her only source of income at this time is temporary cash assistance. This family is in need of personal hygiene products such as body wash, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste and deodorant. Newborn diapers and wipes would also be a huge help as she is due in June with a new baby. All items are located at Walmart. Any assistance will help.

The client is an unemployed single mother with four children, ages 9, 16, 17, and 19. She is in need of assistance obtaining a bus pass. Her vehicle was recently repossessed or stolen, leaving her without reliable transportation. She requires transportation to and from various agencies, which are a few miles from her home—too far to walk. This support would enable her to access essential services, including food and personal hygiene items, while she actively seeks employment to create a stable environment for the children.

This young family needs some assistance as the mother goes through nursing school. She is a very hardworking, caring, and compassionate single mother who is doing everything and more to support her family of three kiddos. She is in the process of getting a second job due to her hours getting cut at her full-time job. She is putting herself through nursing school all on her own, while taking care of her children.
This family is in need of groceries, and clothing for her children. She has a son who wears size 10, a girl who is in between 4t/5t, and a boy in size 3t. This would help the family become more sustainable through offsetting food/clothing costs. Any assistance to help this mother and children in need would be greatly appreciated.
