Grandparents have guardianship of their almost three-year-old nephew. He has autism and his challenging behaviors and grandmother's physical disability have led the grandfather to need to retire early, limiting the family's income and having to stretch their finances to make ends meet. They purchased a mattress previously for their grandson, but it quickly broke and they were not allowed to return it. It makes it difficult for him to sleep comfortably and will become more of an issue as he grows. They could use assistance at this time with acquiring another mattress, as it is not in their budget.

A mother of three has taken in her baby cousin. She has recently become a single mother as well. She is currently in school to better her life situation but is not employed as she cannot find childcare for the evenings once she has completed her daily class. She does receive some assistance from the state but is still in need of a few items. The items are listed below.

Food Formula (Similac total comfort) and baby cereal Age-appropriate toys for a one-year-old 2 dressers (1 long, 1 tall) Dehumidifier Plastic dresser drawers Bus passes Baby safety items (plastic edges for table) Clothing: 9-12 months boys (outfits, onesies and socks) 12 in girls (under clothing needed) 16/16 boys (under clothing needed) Women's 5 in pants and Lg in shirts

A single, retired grandmother on a fixed income took in her two small grandsons, ages 8 months and (almost) 5 due to parental neglect and substance use. Grandmother is connected with state benefits for the boys, and our agency is working with her to ensure she has everything the children need to stabilize the kinship placement. The biggest need is for additional help with diapers (size 3), wipes, and infant formula (Similac Advance in blue can), as the baby uses more formula than is covered by WIC each month. The baby needs a few shorts, T-shirts, and rompers in size 12 months to supplement what grandmother provided. The (almost) 5 year old needs underwear, boys size 5-6 in any kind of super hero pattern. He also needs shoes, and this worker requests a gift card, so his correct size can be purchased. Any assistance will be appreciated.
