This grandpa recently got custody of his 14-month-old grandson. He would love to get a sturdy high chair so that the baby can eat meals with the family. Alternatively, he would also accept a booster seat with straps that they could safely attach to the kitchen table chair. While the baby is from Albany County, grandpa lives in another county. We will arrange to bring the high chair from the office to the family. Your contribution would be much appreciated and would help create a safe, loving environment for this little boy.

DSS Prevention has been working with this family for a little over a year. The family consists of mom and her 6 children: M19, M18, M15, F15, M12, M10. The 10-year-old is autistic non-verbal and requires constant care/supervision from mom. The 15-year-old son has a heart condition and recently had surgery. The 15-year-old female has significant mental health concerns and is in the hospital for stabilization fairly regularly. She has currently been in a psychiatric hospital for the past 2 months and is going to be discharged soon. There is a concern that she and her siblings take a lot of medication that mom tries to hide out of the reach of her 10-year-old son but, it is not the best plan to not have it locked up. She is requesting a large lock box to hold all of the family's medications. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. At Walmart large lock boxes range from $35-$70

The family recently became homeless due to the death of a family member. With the help of DSS, the family obtained a new apartment that they can move into today. The family lost most of their belongings and are in need of beds. The parents need a bed for themselves (full or queen) but obtaining beds for the children is the priority. The family already has a pack and play (provided by CPS), so they are only in need of a toddler bed and two twin beds.
