Harvest Chapel

I have a family who is in need of a booster seat for their young girl. Child has out grown her current car seat. The family struggles with being able to afford tangible things and this would help them out greatly.

I'm currently working with a family in the area who could benefit from a garbage haul load or dumpster haul away. The family consists of a single mother and her own mother caring for the two children. With only these two adults in the home daily it has been observed to be a barrier to their success in ensuring the home is clean and organized. While they try to clean the home, their physical abilities impact how well these chores are completed and there are many different large items and boxes full of of trash that would clear up the family's space. The family does not have accessibility to travel, haul away larger garbage items and their finances are limited to ensure the children's needs are being appropriately met. Also, they have only limited support from their friends and other extended family. If it were possible for any assistance, this would surely improve the children's well-being and overall ensure the safety of the home by providing them with a clean, organized space and with using all the family's finances to ensure their needs continue to be met.

The items that need to be hauled include; two or three mattresses (unknown size), a broken bunk bed frame, boxes of other trash belongings (unknown number) and a mid sized couch.

There is a family of two adults 3 young children who experienced a power surge which blew all their electric heaters. They are asking for just one heater to keep the children warm. As our spring is unpredictable it is still a necessity.

A case is open involving a child with high medical needs to prevent foster care. A baby is also living in the home. A friend of this child's young mother has petitioned the court for custody and is currently caring for the infant. Due to the young mothers untreated mental health and substance misuse, she lacks the skills and support necessary to care for this medically fragile infant. The friend and custodian who is the caretaker on this case has been caring for the child for several months and is in need of a crib, and a dresser for the child while she is caring for her. She has custody of this baby now and cares for her full time. They are also in need of a dresser for both children, and a couch.

The father suffered from a stroke several years ago, and is unable to work.

A foster family is just getting a newborn from the hospital, but needs a bit of help with formula, diapers, and wipes until WIC starts. Newborn diapers, formula preference will be communicated.

Chautauqua County has a 3 year old special needs child. The child was placed in a foster home; however, that foster home was unable to properly provide the level of care that this child needed and requested that he be moved. At this time because of the child's needs, Chautauqua County is having a difficult time finding a placement for him. This little guy has a feeding tube as he cannot have anything orally. He also is non verbal and is not mobile.

Chautauqua County has located a temporary placement; however, the foster home is in need of some basic supplies to assist with his every day care. They are in need of a crib, jogging stroller, and a high chair. If these items are obtained, it would make caring for him much easier as we want this family to be able to care for him until a more permanent home is found for him. A jogging stroller is being requested as he does constantly rock back and forth, and the family believes that he would be less likely to tip it over.

All items will follow this little guy.
