Mother of seven children. She has section 8 housing and consistent employment to provide for the children. However, her washer has recently broke and she does not have the means of transportation to make trips to the laundromat in order to get the children clean clothes and additionally lacks the funds to do so.

Single mother of three children. Mother has previously in a long-term relationship with the children's father that included bouts of domestic violence, substance abuse, and consistent homeless. Mother has been sober since December, has employment, and has obtained housing in the last two months to prepare for the children to eventually come home. However, she is struggling to save in order to afford furniture and appliances for her new apartment due to her being all on her own for the first time in a decade. She does not currently have anywhere to store the children's clothes and she can barely afford going to the laundromat by herself since she does not have adequate transportation and lacks the funds to make multiple trips per week.

Single mother of two children. She recently had her two children be approved to return to her home on a trial home visit. Mother is trying to pick up the pieces and build her life back together after she witnessed the tragic suicide of her former partner (and the children's father) on Mother's Day and she relapsed as her way to cope with the stress and grief the experience took on her mental and physical health. She has poured her life savings into her new residence but is struggling to adequately provide the children with clean clothes as she lacks the funds to routinely visit the laundromat and can't afford storage devices for the clothes either.

The Department became involved with this family in September of 2024 due to allegations of physical abuse. Three of the children were removed from the parents and placed into relative care. Yesterday another child was born into the family. The family is living in a one bedroom apartment due to them only being able to afford that amount of space, as they have had difficulty obtaining employment. The family is in need of additional storage place for the new baby and their other children as they prepare for the children to come home. At the beginning of the case, the parents were generally non-compliant and were against receiving services but have since turned a page, and really worked through their services and are almost ready for their children to come home. Helping them with the additional storage of dressers as well as a microwave, would help with their reunification process and life after case closure as well.
