One of our teenage moms is currently in deep need for warm clothes for herself and her Son. Her Son is size 3T and the mom is size Small/Medium. Warm blankets would also be helpful! (Not a comforter, a blanket is just fine) They don't have stable living situations and have been finding themselves to need warm clothes for this cold season we are in. She also is in critical need of groceries/food for her and her son as they don't have access to stable food at the moment. Thank you! (Spanish speaking mostly)

Help Strengthen a Bio Family
A single mother of two is currently facing financial hardships. She is working part-time as a maid through word-of-mouth referrals but is struggling to find more stable employment. Despite her efforts, she has not yet had success in securing a reliable job. She is not receiving CalWorks assistance or child support from her daughter's father. Recently, she encountered an unexpected expense when her car overheated. A mechanic has assessed the issue, and the estimated repair cost is $300. Due to her unstable income, she is unable to cover this expense on her own. Any assistance in helping her get back on the road would be greatly appreciated.

An prospective adoptive family who welcomed a child into their home needs assistance with essential bedroom items to create a proper space for their child. While they've secured a mattress, they urgently need a complete bedding set including sheets and a comforter for their twin bed, along with a dresser to properly store the child's clothing and personal belongings. When these needs are met, their child will not only have a warm, cozy bed to sleep in but also a organized, stable space for their possessions, helping the family create a nurturing environment that supports their child's sense of security and belonging in their new home.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family
Mother and minor live in a small living space. Mother stopped working to make time to care for her daughters medical health and mental health. Mother recently had eye surgery that she is still recovering from. She does not have a current working vehicle due to not having the money to have it fixed making the travels to the medical appointments long. Minor is using public transportation for school. During my recent contact with the family, mother shared that minors bed had broken and she had to move a mattress she had in her living space to give to minor to stack the mattresses. Mother said the bed frame that broke had drawers under that were helpful for the small space they have. Mothers current bed mattress appeared thin and sunken in. Mother and minor would both greatly appreciate and benefit from new twin beds and mattresses.
