Children are placed in the care of maternal grandmother, and RFA is requesting that she purchase bunk beds as children cannot share beds. The maternal grandmother went through great lengths to secure an apartment paying the first and last month’s rent that would accommodate all three children. As a result of the children's removal, they are showing signs of trauma and one child is exhibiting depression and anxiety which led to anxiety attacks, being withdrawn and isolated. At this time, MGM has exhausted all means to fulfill RFA requirements and can no longer afford to buy bunkbeds for the children. The placement is at risk if beds are not purchased.
