This kinship caregiver is a single grandmother. She and two of the kids have some health issues that is making this a high need request. The family has been having issues with mice in the home! The kids are scared and the grandmother is worried about the kids and her getting sick from the droppings. They have tried putting out their own traps and are not having success. The grandmother contacted an exterminator for a quote for them to come and help. This grandmother struggles to make ends meet as is, so this kind of expense is not possible for her.

This family moved to the states from Peru less than two months ago. They have no beds/bedding to sleep on. The family has an apartment but will sleep on the hard wood floors. Since they just moved here, they are still adjusting to their new lifestyle. Mom and grandma are both working however they are not able to save much money as they are needing to spend their money on necessities such as food and transportation to work. This family is still learning about the resources that are available to help them with this transition however they are in desperate need of beds to sleep on. There is a young 3 year old in the home and I hope that this request could lead to at least one bed for her to sleep in. The family has a kitchen table and chairs but any other furniture that may need a home, I am sure the family would greatly appreciate. Thank you for your consideration!
