Family of 7 is lacking transportation to and from medical appointments, work, and a grocery store. They live out in the country so a bus pass will not be sufficient. They just bought a car and do not have enough to pay sales tax to get it registered. We are estimating sales tax and registration to be $150. The family is also struggling with mice in their home. We are seeking a card with $150 for sales tax and registration as well as a few mice traps. Thank you.

Family starting trial home placement. Four boys from 1 - 8, single mom. The family needs a kitche table with four chairs (baby has a high chair). In addition, a booster seat for the 2 year old would be helpful. THe apartment has a bar counter wth two chairs, very high and difficult for the boys to use as a table. It is not a safe or family like arrangement for meals. Mom wants to eat meals together to begin building family bonding. Mom works full time, pays her own rent and day care, making money tight.

Bio Mom has recently been reunited with her two boys and also has a two month old newborn baby girl. Mom is doing very well, but unfortunately recently lost her job due to the boys having some behavior issues with their daycare. Due to loss of job, Mom has a couple of physical needs to help with baby girl and one of her boys. Mom is attempting to go out daily with the boys to help them with their energy level and get some physical playing time. She needs a stroller to help transport baby girl during these outings. The stroller would be best if a car seat could be supported in it and then when she is not in her car seat, she could be supported as well in the stroller. She is still very small, but will grow and hopefully the stroller could accommodate her growth. Her oldest boy is also in need of a pair of tennis shoes. Size 9, preferably easy to put on and take off, Velcro closure type design. Updated on September 21, 2023 by an Agency Worker
The car seat that Mom is currently using is a Snug Ride 35 Lite.

I have a three year old on my caseload that is in need of bunk beds for his Father's home. The three year old was brought in to care due to an accidental fentanyl overdose. The child's oldest half-brother who is 23 years old was visiting at the child's mother's residence and the child came out of the bathroom and collapsed on the floor in front of his mother. The child was placed with the ex-mother-in-law of the child's mother. Luckily the child overcame this unfortunate incident and after a case review court hearing the judge made the decision to have the child return to his mother and the custody agreement that was already established went back in effect. The child’s parents are not together, but do co-parent well together. The father does not have a place for the child and his 5 year old sister to sleep on.
