Mother is a single mother of two children with disabilities. The family lost all of their personal belongings and furniture due to a large apartment fire. The children are 6 and 15 and are joyful and happy despite their circumstances. Family is struggling to gain a sense of normalcy back into their lives since the fire. Requesting a twin sized mattress/bedframe for younger child who currently is sharing a bed with her older brother, so that each child can have their own bed and sleeping space.

I am requesting a bed for a family of 5. They recently moved to a new apartment, and reconfigured their sleeping arrangements. Siblings are sharing a bed now, but would prefer to have their own space.

We have been working with a child for several years and she is currently 12 years old. She has been through a lot and witnessed a hit and run that killed her younger brother. 12 year old has mental health issues and has been moving from place to place. She is currently with an aunt who is amazing and seems really great. 12 year old has been having a lot of issues and school avoidance. She has missed a substantial amount of school over the last 2 years and is now registered in the district where her aunt lives. This kiddo does not have adequate clothes for school. Gift cards to clothing stores (Marshalls, Burlington, Walmart, ect) would be amazing help for this kiddo and we are hoping to get her back in school asap and she would really like some nice clothes for her new school. Thank you so much for any and all help.

Single mother with four children, connected to CPS due to difficulties in getting her children to school and medical appointments. Children have all seen the doctor, and school attendance has improved, since CPS involvement. Mother and children would like to start the 2023-2024 school year off to a good start. The social pressures re: acceptable clothes and supplies is high, particularly high in their school district. These pressures take on even more importance when children are a part of other marginalized communities; ie, children of color, children in poverty. They are asking for support in getting school clothes. The intended result is children feeling good about themselves, and feeling ready to take on the school year.
