Church at Newtown Road

The family consists of a father, mother, 18-year-old sibling, and two children ages 17 and 6. They are currently seeking assistance in obtaining a dumpster to facilitate with cleaning out their home which is needed before the two younger children can return home. The family would also appreciate some cleaning supplies and cleaning products to assist with cleaning the home. The adult sibling and the mother have already began cleaning and are committed to improving the living conditions so the children can return home to a safe and clean home as soon as possible.

The family also has multiple home repairs that the father could use assistance with. If there is someone who is handy that would be available to donate their time and expertise this would help the family greatly. The types of repairs the family could use assistance with are: outlet replacement, roof repair/replacement, mold removal, ceiling repair and floor repairs/replacement.

The mother is on her own with her 5-month-old son. She has limited resources and is trying to figure out how to balance her new baby and how to get income. She is currently out of a job. Her apartment doesn't have air conditioning and must rely on a faulty window unit. She has said she can make it work with some box fans if an air conditioner is not available. Her son is growing faster than she can get clothes for and wants to try and get his next size up as he has already outgrown his current clothes. The child will need 9 month old baby boy clothes.

The mother has become an expedited relative foster parent for 3 children in addition to her own children. She is providing a local home for all 3 siblings to remain together. The items we are requesting are to assist her in meeting the needs of all the children in her home. Without these items she will not be able to continue to be a resource for these children! The children consist of two young girls ages 7 and 8, one 3-yr old boy and a 7-month-old baby girl. At this time these children do not have beds. The baby also needs a high chair to eat in. The relative foster parent also does not have a stroller to help transport the baby. Thank you for helping this foster parent who has graciously said yes to taking in a sibling group.

Through mom's dedication and hard personal work and growth she was able to get her life together while her son was in the foster are program. The family is back together stronger than ever. Mom was recently asked to move from her apartment in Troy and is happily living in Rensselaer with her son. Mom was not able to afford the cost of a second day for the moving company and was forced to leave some of her belongings behind - she is in need bedroom furniture for herself including a bed, mattress, bedding and dresser. Mom was forced to leave behind her living room sofa and kitchen table set. Mom is very thankful for any help she can get.

Young mother of 4 month old baby who was previously in foster care in need of small room window A/C unit. The mother and baby live with the maternal grandmother and 2 uncles and there is only an a/c in the maternal grandmother's room. The mother and baby sleep in the mother's room and is dangerously warm in there for the baby. The baby was in foster care after being born and the mother has worked very hard to get the child out of care, keep a safe environment for him and continue with her parenting education. This would help the mother and the baby stay safe and healthy.

The family has a lot of medications that need to be stored and locked away from the small children in the home. The family currently has a smaller lock box however, it is broken and CHN are able to gain access to it.

Good afternoon, I am reaching out on behalf of a single mother who has 2 younger children who are 2 and 4 years old. She is doing everything she can to provide for her children. She has been raising her kids on her own with little to no support. She is doing everything she can to provide a stable and loving home. The children currently don't have a bed to sleep on. The couch the mother currently has is ripped and the cotton is falling out.

The family is comprised of the mother, father, 5 yr old daughter and 10-month-old son. The parents are incredibly hard working. The father has been struggling with securing steady work. They saved all of their money to get a new apartment and need help with a few things in the home. The dressers will help keep the kid's cloths organized, and the microwave will help with heating meals for the family.

This request is to support a family with a 16 year old daughter and two sons ages 7 and 5. The family has been having financial difficulty for years due to monthly payments after filing for bankruptcy. These payments have held the family back for years. Their home is very hot and their sons do not have air conditioners in their bedrooms. We are requesting fans or air conditioners to help with the wellbeing of these children. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated!

We are seeking support for a family where the parents are both limited mentally. The father usually works but injured himself two months ago. Due to this injury he cannot return to work until September. The family is engaged with multiple prevention services. They have a 1 yr old baby in the home who currently sleeps in a pack and play. The one year old would benefit from either a crib or toddler bed to sleep in as the pack and play is getting to be too small. During a recent home visit the home was found to be extremely warm. The family would benefit from 2 window air conditioning units to help cool the home.

The family consists of a mother, father and newborn baby. The baby who is now two months old was born with a critical congenital condition and transferred to a hospital in Boston at birth. The baby is still in the hospital and will be for at least the next few months. The parents do not have a vehicle and struggle financially to get to Boston to visit their son as family is not always able to transport them. The parents need to be able to spend more time with their son to establish a bond and learn how to care for him. They would greatly benefit from financial assistance to obtain transportation to and from the hospital.
