A Single mother is struggling to feed her teenage children as she does not get her food stamps until next week. She reports to just need enough food to make it through the weekend. The mother was working but her teenage son had a bike accident and broke both of his arms. She is having to care for her son as she had a cast on both arms. He just had surgery on Monday as well. She has a car but it is messed up at this time and she does not have the funds to fix it. She has been going to food pantries but now does not have transportation.

The mother is currently depressed. She has dogs in the home that have used the bathroom inside, causing the house to smell terrible. Mother got an eviction notice, and she has until the end of the month to clean it and get out. Her vacuum also recently broke. Children are currently placed out of the home due to the condition of the home. It is very cluttered, there is trash, and just over all needs to be cleaned. Mother would appreciate any type of cleaning supplies, bleach, wipes, vacuum, trash bags, etc.

We are working with a 16-year-old male who resides with his grandparents. This youth has been working really hard and come a long way. He would like to be able to attend his school prom next weekend on 5/17 but has been unable to find a suit/tuxedo. Grandparents are on fixed income and have had to designate funds to some other costs for this youth, so they are unable to afford the cost of a rental suit/tuxedo. The family has looked at all of the local second hand and thrift shops, however, they have been unable to find coordinating items in his size.
The sizes this youth would need are as follows: Shirt and Suit Jacket/Tux - 2XL, Pants - 40x38, Dress Shoes - 11.5

Help Strengthen a Bio Family
Mother who has a 2 month old and 5 year old daughter is currently facing eviction and is asking for assistance with her rent payment. Mother has been in court due to custody issues with her partner and has been left with very little support financially. Mother needs $1325 by MAY 9 in order to avoid going to court for the eviction. Mother wants to avoid eviction and remain housed with her two small children, if at all possible!
Mother is also in need of micro-preemie diapers, as her preemie daughter is still small and was recently re-hospitalized and discharged home. Even the preemie diapers that the hospital carries are too large for her daughter. Micro preemie diapers can be purchased at Amazon.com, look for Bambo Nature Hypoallergenic Dream Baby Diapers Size 0 (24 Count)
Every bit helps. Thank you so much!!

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing
I am working with a family of four children and a single mother who are in need of some assistance with outdoor maintenance and clothing. The family is in need of lawncare equipment, specifically a push lawnmower and 2-cycle oil for a weed eater to assist the family in tidying up the outside of their residence. If someone would be willing to cut their lawn the first time to get it more manageable, as it is quite high, the family would not be opposed to that either. The family is also requesting clothing for two elementary schoolers, one male, one female. The male child wears size 5/6 and the female child wears size 8/9.
