Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing
I am working with a low income family that has recently moved to Missouri with minimal personal belongings. Their home is very old and needs a lot of work which they are working on. To help improve their daily living and make the home safer for the two adults and two children within the home I am requesting some house hold items for the family. There is no air conditioning within the home so I am requesting a AC unit, however, they have small windows. So I don't think a window AC unit would fit. They are also in need of beds for both of the children, a boy toddler bed and a girl twin size bed with sheets, pillows, and blankets for both. The parents have a bed but do not have bedding for the queen size bed so I am also requesting sheets and blankets for them as well. Because they have small children in the home and are working on renovations I am also requesting a baby gate to help keep the kids safe. I was able to supply the family with some cleaning and hygiene products but they could use more. Such as a broom, mop, floor cleaner, cleaning wipes, etc.; and deodorant for the parents, shampoo and conditioner, and soap for the two children etc.

We are seeking support for a family of three—a single father and his two children—who are in need of a carpet cleaner to help maintain a clean and healthy living environment. The father is working hard to care for his children and provide stability, but with limited resources and time, deep cleaning tasks like carpet care have become a challenge.
Providing a carpet cleaner—either as a donation or on loan—will make a meaningful impact in helping this family maintain their home, contributing to a more stable and nurturing environment for the children. This practical support will not only ease the father’s burden but also help strengthen the placement and long-term well-being of the family.
Need:
A functioning carpet cleaner (new)
Optional: cleaning solution or accessories if available
Please reach out if you're able to help support this family.
Thank you for your compassion and generosity in helping keep this family together and thriving!
