Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing
Family consists of a mother and her 3 sons, ages 12, 10, and 6. Mother recently became homeless at the end of May. She sent her children to stay with relatives for the summer while she searched for housing. The Department was able to help secure housing for her with a move-in date of July 16. The children will return to the mother at the end of July. The mother is requesting assistance in purchasing 2 twin mattresses for her two youngest sons' bunk beds and a full mattress for her oldest son. Mother is not financially capable of purchasing these items, as she receives little support from the children's fathers. The Department has committed to buying the full mattress, so the 2 twin mattresses are what we need. Please consider blessing this family to help promote the children's safety and well-being.
