We have a young, single mother of 3 children (ages 1, 4 and 5). She is experiencing unstable housing and financial stress. The mother is a victim of domestic violence and is trying to keep her children sheltered and safe from harm. The mother has been residing with the maternal grandmother in a single unit apartment with the children. The MGM put the mother and children out on yesterday and stole the mother’s food stamps from her EBT card. The mother is not able to purchase any food for herself and the children. She was able to get a room in Hollywood through PATH and is awaiting placement in a DV shelter. DCFS and the agencies involved with this family are working tirelessly to find a residence the mother and children. The mother can be reached on her cell phone and the CSW is able to correspond with the mother accordingly. We are hoping that a donor will pick up this request and provide the family with a $300.00 grocery gift card or purchase food for the family so that the mother and children do not go hungry.

We have a mother who has a six-month old baby that is teething. The mother is very resilient and is thriving with all of her programs she is involved in. She is a domestic violence survivor and is using her experience to build and grow within her life. She is in therapy to address the concerns that brought her family to the attention of the Department. She is a domestic violence survivor. She is a good mother who truly cares for her daughter. During our meetings the baby is always smiling and giggling. Recently, the baby began teething and is in need of hypoallergenic-silicon weaning cups, baby spoons, feeding set, and food making system (NutriBullet). I am in hopes that some of these items can possibly make it to her.

I am working with a young 19-year old NMD mother of an adorable and smart 2 year-old little boy. She is a good mother who ensures her son has all of this needs met. She is trying to better herself and her education in order to obtain a job/career for the future of her family. Initially, she saved up and enrolled in Phlebotomy school in Riverside, she completed 4 of 12 classes, but had to stop for a time because of childcare issues. She has since worked on securing childcare and wants to re-start, but now does not have all of the funds needed to complete her program, although she has saved some. She is on a limited income of $500 a month so saving anything significant has been a challenge for her. She is asking for assistance of approx $500 to be paid to the school. Once she completes this program she believes she can find a job in this field that she is very interested in. Thank you for your time in reviewing this request.
