She is seeking employment because her seasonal job ended. The father does assist when able, but they continue to struggle to fully meet the needs of their children. The family is in need of grocery items. Milk, Fruit, Breakfast food, Bread, PB and J, tea, Kool aid, snacks for the children, items to cook.

She and her five children recently relocated due to the violence between the mother and father. The mother lost her food stamps last month for her and her five girls due to the father claiming the girls to get his own food stamps. The mother had to provide proof she has custody of the children, and not the father. She works as a bus driver. The mother reports that she decided to ensure her children were fed so she can’t pay rent this month. She will be getting her food stamps back and will be able to catch up. The mother reports that every 4 days the fee goes up $150. She has been given a notice to evict if she does not pay. Her and the children have no place to go if they lose the home.

Two children are placed here with relative from Indiana. The family recently lost their car. The children go to school out of district due to School Choice program. The relative has no way to get the children to school without a car. She has a rental car through tomorrow, but can't afford it after that. We are requesting transportation assistance to help these kids get to and from school until the end of the school year. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I'm not sure what to put for exact need. They need a vehicle but can't afford one right now. But the main issue is getting the kids to and from school.

We have had a couple take in 3 young children. They are doing everything they can for provide for these sweet children and they are working towards becoming licensed foster parents for these little ones.

They have asked for sheets for the beds if possible.

Due to medical reasons a FP is asking for some time off. We are moving the child to another NYAP home and the new home needs a trip bunk bed to accommodate this child. The FP already has three children in her home. This will be a 4th placement. She is moving to a larger (3 bedroom) apartment and needs to furnish the room with a bed that can hold the children. A triple bunk will help to maintain this placement and help us to facilitate this new placement.

We have a caregiver who has taken in three of her grandchildren, she is doing a wonderful job taking care of the children. She is in the process of becoming a licensed foster parent, once she becomes a licensed caregiver she will receive a stipend which will help her with basic needs for the children, in the meantime she could use some help with beds, diapers, wipes, groceries and clothes. She would greatly appreciate the help.

This single mother has just been reunified with her 2-year-old son. Mom has been working hard to keep a job and a home for herself and her boy. She has been cooperating and making all the needed changes to be reunited with her child. Mom is requesting assistance with acquiring a convertible car seat for her son because he is quickly growing out of the one that she has for him. Mom wants to make sure that his car seat meets legal standards for his size, and to make sure her son fits comfortably in his car seat. This will help the family get to appointments and daycare safely.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and for all that you do for families in our community.

This request is for a crib for a 5 month old. Two children were placed in the caregivers home with a non-relative and they came with nothing, no clothing, diapers, Wipes or car seats and only one opened can of formula. The caregivers have a toddler bed for the 2 year old so we are only looking at needing the crib and mattress. The formula needed is Nutramagin-White Can-Hypoallerginic. They are requesting WIC but it will be several days before they can get that started. The 5 month old wears size 2 diapers and the 1 year old wears size 6 diapers. Wipes of any kind would be appreciated. They need clothing with both wearing size 2. Last most important besides the formula is car seats. The 5 month old needs a 5 point harness, rear facing infant car seat. The 2 year old needs a forward facing, 5 point harness car seat. The caregivers stated they welcome hand-me-downs and will pass it forward if whatever they get doesn't fit or in the meantime have gotten what they needed.

The family refrigerator went out a few weeks ago causing a gnat issue. The family is need of a refrigerator.
