I have a father who recently returned home from rehab. He went to his mother's home to avoid relapsing in a familiar environment of where he was using. His children had to return back to his care quicker than expected so there has not been time to get benefits and things for him and the children. Due to their sudden return, he needs help with groceries until SNAP can get established.

The children are four and five.

The children like spaghetti's with meatballs, items to make spaghetti, chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, hot pockets, milk, and eggs. As well as any other items that would be useful!

A single mother living in the Hillsville area of Carroll County is in need of repairs on her lawn mower or of a lawn service that is within a reasonable rate. This mother has two special needs children and as the weather continues to warm up, she will need to keep her lawn maintained. She is unsure what may be wrong with the mower but believes it can be repaired. She also has an outside spigot that is leaking water and causing her to have a large water bill each month. The family would benefit from any repairs that could be maintained.

A student and his parents are evicted from their home effective April 30, 2025. The present plan for the student is to stay with his brother while parents live in their car. Parents may be able to stay at a nearby campsite a couple of days a week to have access to showers and other facilities. Assistance with non-perishable food items and some cold food items that can be kept in a small cooler is needed. Additional assistance with a couple of nights each week in a local hotel (preferably the one in Independence) will be helpful so parents can have access to basic necessities, and the mother can get to work in town. The family is on a waiting list for a local apartment in in the Independence town area. The anticipated availability is within a couple of weeks. The father's cell phone will be turned back on April 30th as he is searching for employment.
