This household with a single mother of 4 children were housed about a year ago in our housing program after their father passed away. They have been fairly stable and a wonderful family to work with. The mom has some physical limitations, which limits her ability to gain employment and are currently living on limited income. The mom' twin daughters recently started college, which motivated mom to also go to school. Mom's goal is to graduate with an Associate's Degree, which will help her while she job seeks despite the mobility limitations. In the meantime, their dining table became unusable and are in need of a new one that can accommodate a family of 5 - however not too large since it's a smaller apartment. Mom would also like a regular rug, or a play rug for her 4 year old daughter.

We have 3 children who are in a very unique situation. Due to the condition of mom's home, the children were removed for their safety. All items in that home is not available. Mom is currently in jail and we are scrambling to keep these kids from coming into DCF custody. The father lives in another town and is unable to shift this way just yet so the children are going to grandma's house but needs items to continue forward while they are in limbo. Children need clothes but we don't know sizes. Children also need hygiene materials.

If anyone is able to help in any way, the help would be greatly appreciated.

We would like to support one of our families in our PUC Excel Middle School. This student is in the 6th grade and the family is going through financial hardship at this time. There are three children and the the mother is the sole provider. Mom works cleaning homes and got laid off, she is struggling to meet the children's basic needs. This family is in need of support with food, clothing. Mother is concerned that this will affect the children's school if they do not have food and what they need for school.

Mom is currently out of work due to an injury. Family is behind in rent and are dependent on Family Services/Food Bank as the main source of groceries. Mom reported there are times that she and stepfather do not eat to ensure the kids always have something to eat. Kids are age 14 and 11. When I interviewed the 11 year old, I asked him if he could change or have one thing in the whole world, what would it be. He responded...I wish we had extra food/snacks so that we don't have to worry about what we will eat next. :( I would say if they could get non-perishable items, including canned/frozen meat to go in things like tuna/hamburger helper type meals, this would be a huge blessing.

I have a mother who is needing financial assistance help with her rent. She was put on unpaid maternity leave 1 year ago and owes 2 months of back rent from living in a previous, neighboring apartment. After many unsuccessful attempts seeking employment, she has finally secured a paying position. She will have to wait a few pay periods before receiving her first paycheck. Mom has been requested to stay away from apartment complex premises until the back rent is paid. The family, in turn, has not been able to have visitations in the current apartment. Dad and child is on the lease. It is mom's desire to be put on this lease, as well. By helping this mother, you are ensuring this family have visitations in the family home. This will also help strengthen the child/parent bond by being able to reunify in the same home where visitations occur. The family is currently working on a budget to better allocate future paychecks, in hopes to alleviate financial binds.
