We are asking for financial assistance for a mother, 31 years old, who is ill and placed in a nursing care facility due to her critical medical issues. Mother is blind in one eye and has 9% kidney function. Despite her medical condition, Mother continues to work on reunification. The mother visits with her children at the nursing home facility, but due to her medical status, she is unable to work and has zero source of income. Her children are older, 14 and 16. We are requesting a financial donation for a mother to use on her visits with her children. The mother would like to be able to offer the children a meal, go out of the facility, buy them something, or purchase things she and the children can use during the visits. Any financial assistance received will be used to strengthen the bond and quality of the visits with the children, while they still have their mother. The mother has a parent partner assigned who is helping her come up with activities she can do during the visit with her children. It is unknown if the mother will receive a transplant donation, so the time of the visits is crucial for these children.

We have 14 residents who need to stay warm this winter. Portable space heaters are dangerous and many that were donated have reached the end of their useful lives. We are seeking electric blankets for each of our residents to help keep our clients warm. Each resident has a twin bed, so we are seeking 14 twin-sized electric blankets for everyone. Please help us keep them warm this winter.

We have a resident in our maternity home who needs a winter coat. As it continues to get colder heading into the winter season, our resident could use a Men's size XL coat to stay warm as she navigates the outdoors.

We have a new mom in our maternity home who is experiencing severe separation anxiety with her child. The child has a very hard time letting mommy go or do anything without her. We would like to send our resident and her child to a 4-week Mommy + Me program to help with social interaction and separation anxiety. She has been in our program for most of this year and is doing and learning so much! It would be of high importance that we could fund her classes for her.

Our youth has transitioned out of foster care and needs immediate assistance for hard goods. The youth has been exceptional at working hard to keep their employment during this transition. We have assisted the youth in securing, appropriate and affordable housing for their budget. However, the youth is now in need of a bed, dresser and refrigerator for their new home. Thank you for your assistance
