A single mother has two children and is struggling to support the family on her own. Mother has bed frames for the children's beds, but no mattresses or bedding. At this time the 12 year old sleeps on the couch and the 8 year old sleeps in bed with mother. If the family could get 2 twin mattresses and bedding for 8 and 12 year old boys, they would be able to utilize their own rooms.

A foster mother has asked for a small desk and chair for her foster child (age 9). The request is so she has a space to do her schoolwork, separate from the dining room table, as she struggles to focus in that environment.

I have a single mother of two children who is in need of a twin bed and bed frame for her youngest child. Currently the child has been sleeping in the same bed as her mother due to not having one. Her mother currently uses a pull out couch mattress and this will not be suitable as her child continues to get older. Having a new bed for her child would truly help the families situation. The family is currently working with preventive services to prevent placement of the children. If they were to receive a bed for her youngest child it would certainly relieve some of the stress that is overwhelming the families life. With everything considered, not only could one imagine it being incredibly difficult being a single mother of two children, the family is now trying to cooperate with everything asked of them by the Department. Any assistance would be truly appreciated and utilized by the family.

A single mother who is currently living in a hotel with her three children ages 2 y/o and 9 month old twins is in need of a triple stroller. The mother has no form of transportation at this time and is required to walk everywhere. Due to safety concerns, the mother needs a triple stroller to keep all kids safe while walking due to busy roadways and it is unsafe for her to have to have both twins strapped in one seat.
