Single mother of a 4 month old baby who does not have a vehicle and has to utilize public transportation is requesting assistance with a new carseat stroller combo. Her current car seat does not fit in the stroller she was given so she has to carry the carseat when walking to appointments, bus stops, etc. A new carseat with a stroller combo would help the mother get to all the locations she needs to.

I’m reaching out on behalf of a single mother of three children who is doing everything she can to make ends meet. Despite working a full-time job, she is facing significant financial challenges. With a limited income, the rising costs of gas and everyday essentials are putting a strain on her ability to provide for her family. However, she remains hopeful and determined to create a positive future for her children. A gas card and groceries would greatly ease some of the financial pressure, allowing her to get her kids to school and appointments without worry. Additionally, the mother expressed feeling lonely as she has no family support in Tulare County. Emotional support from the community would help her feel less isolated during this difficult time. Any assistance would make a meaningful difference for the family.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing
The care provider has been dedicated to supporting the family of a close friend by caring for their four-year-old son since he was just four days old, and more recently, she has taken on the care of his infant sibling, who is currently two months old. Unfortunately, the care provider currently lacks a suitable crib for the infant, and she has expressed a desire for a swing to facilitate the baby's comfort and care. Additionally, the four-year-old is utilizing an outdated car seat that provides inadequate cushioning and support, posing potential safety concerns. Despite her unwavering commitment to meeting the children's basic needs, the care provider is facing significant financial constraints that prevent her from acquiring these essential items. She is actively pursuing custody of the children to ensure that their medical and developmental needs are effectively addressed. Her determination to provide a stable and nurturing environment for the children is commendable, and any assistance in obtaining necessary supplies would greatly enhance their overall well-being and safety.

The Agency has been working hard to ensure the children can remain with him, but he needs help getting back on his feet. This refrigerator would save his family from foster care.

Help Preserve an Adoptive Placement
Three youth in an adoptive placement are in need of twin-size mattresses. The current mattresses are old, stained, and have dips indicating no support. The youth are active in sports, have brought up their grades, and have made great strides in their behavior. They do not complain about their sleeping arrangements; however, it is evident that they would benefit from upgraded mattresses and bedding.

I am currently working with a mother who has a total of four (4) children in her care. The family is in need of twin beds or bunk beds (whatever is more economical) and mattresses for her seven (7) and nine (9) year old daughters. The beds that they have now have broken boards and the mattresses appear to be worn out. If this need is met, it will prevent the children from sleeping in the living room area or share beds with their mother/another sibling.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family
This is a two (2) part request. I am currently working with a mother who has two children in her care, under Family Maintenance. One child is sixteen (16) years old, and the other child is two (2) years old. The mother has expressed there is something wrong with her vehicle, but is uncertain of what it is. The mother has two (2) part time jobs, but does not have the financial means to take it to a mechanic or shop to have the car inspected. The Agency is hoping there is someone who is a mechanic/is knowledgeable about cars and willing to provide their time in order to inspect the car and identify what is wrong with it. After identifying the issue, it would be appreciated if someone could help purchase/fix the car as it is her source of transportation. Should this need it met, the mother can continue to work in order to pay her bills, transport the children to their doctor/dental appointments, buy groceries etc.
