Maternal grandmother needs assistance obtain bedding for her granddaughter's toddler bed. Grandma had to take temporary leave from her employer in order to take in her granddaughter, and she has a limited amount of resources. The child was removed from her parents due to mental health and domestic violence concerns. The granddaughter is going to be 2 years old in July. She like Bluey, Minnie Mouse, and the color pink.

A foster mother is in need of emergency aid, as she is trying to care for two babies on her own. She has tried to use financial assistance from Salvation Army with no luck. She has also submitted an application for PRC and has an interview for that process next week. However, she has been given an eviction notice and has no where to go to keep her babies safe and care for them until then. Upon first working with this mother in our search for resources, the first thing she wanted to show me was a picture of her babies. They are her whole world and they are counting on her.

This request is for a car seat for a child that is 40-60 pounds to support a kinship placement. The grandmother of this child has just recently taken over the sole care of her grandson and granddaughter (newborn). Her grandson has autism and she has already raised money to pay for the registration fee into his special needs day program. She raised $650 by making dinner plates for people to buy out of her own home. Her grandkids health and safety means everything to her and she is working so hard to maintain that. She is also working toward her license to be an in-home childcare provider to not only be more equipped to care for her grandchildren but to also be able to provide care for other children in her community. Despite being a cancer survivor and faced with losing her job and other financial hardships, this one woman has remained so positive and so full of light for the little ones she cares so much about.

Specific Needs:

• One car seat for a child weighing 40-60 pounds
• Food/Groceries to help them stay afloat as they face this family transition

A mother of two children that works full time has gotten behind on rental assistance. She owes $380, and if not paid, there will be a $100 late fee as of tomorrow May 6th. The mother got behind due to having medical concerns in January that are still getting figured out. She has had to go to several doctors appointments and is still trying to get to the bottom of the concerns. Missing work has lead to getting behind on rent. Please consider helping to pay, so that the family can continue to have stable housing while the mother navigates these uncertain times.

A mother, her partner, and young son recently tried to move into an apartment in Cleveland. However, upon arrival, their unit was unlocked and unlivable with broken glass and exposed wires everywhere. They were financially drained from their travels and lost even more money having to travel back to Cincinnati. They currently cannot find care for their son, as he is nonverbal, has frequent meltdowns, and often tries to run out of the house and into the street. Mom cannot seem to find anywhere that can diagnose him officially to put him in specialized care so they feel their only way to care for him at this time is to put him in foster care while both mom and her partner work to save money to bring him back into their home. They currently have no working washer and dryer in the house and are working to obtain newer clothes to hold them over until they are able to receive free laundromat services in their area from Laundry Love Cincinnati. They are behind on laundry in general after their journey to and from Cleveland.

This family could use some gently used or newer clothing with sizing as follows:

Men's Clothing- Pants: 32W x 32-34L Shirt: medium socks: 11 mens shoes: 11

Women's Clothing- Pants: XL (usually does NOT wear jeans) Shirts: XL socks: 8-9 Shoes: 8

Children's Clothing (boy): pants: 5T shirts: XS (5) socks: 10 children's shoes: 10 children's

Finding a job can be such a long and difficult process. This single mom has been out of work due to a medial condition and has just recently been cleared to go back at her full capacity. She has been working in fast food while she looks for something more consistent, but it isn't really enough for her to pay her bills. Mom was just approved for an income based payment plan through Duke, but it will not take affect for a couple billing cycles. Mom does not currently have the $171 due to Duke at this time and is very concerned about falling into disconnect. The complex where she lives has a policy that could cause her to be evicted if a utility bill is in disconnect. Please consider helping this mom and her child stay in their home with the lights on. Thank you!

Family is in need of a supplies for maintaining the cleanliness of the home. Mother is in need of cock roach cleaning and repellent supplies.

This mother of 4 is working to stay on top of bills, however has gotten behind on her electric bill. She works full time, but still struggles to make enough to pay all of her necesities on time, due to the high cost of living. Her electric bill is due tomorrow and needs $320 in order to pay on time. If not paid, the bill will significantly go up (and will also take her off of her PIPP payment plan) which could lead to it being disconnected in the near future. Thank you for considering!

I am currently working with a single father to help him navigate resources and steps to take to help better the well-being and safety of his three young children. This father has been working toward goals with such incredible determination and drive. He has jumped through so many hoops already to get his children in childcare so he can go back to work full-time. He has secured employment and is now looking for additional resources to help get clothing for his children who are needing an upgrade in sizes. I have never worked with such a driven and positive individual when facing such obstacles all on his own. He is in need of the following sizes and looking for multiple outfits for each child: -4T for the 3 year old (boy) -3T for the 2 year old (boy) -6-9 months for the 5 month old
