Church of St. Patrick

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.

“Greene County Department of Social Services has been assisting a family of four (mother, father, 3-year-old, and infant) find permanent housing. The family has been working with the Agency for a few months and has shown complete compliance with all that is requested of them. Upon entry of the housing program, the family had a storage unit in Cairo, NY, but are now unable to access it due to falling behind on payment. The mother has taken on a full-time job to support the family, while the father provides care to both children. Items in the locked storage unit include supplies and necessities for the children like strollers, clothing, and other personal belongings. The family has been trying to rectify the missed payments, but much of their income has gone to the immediate needs of the children like diapers, wipes, new clothing/shoes, and food. At this time, the Agency and family are requesting assistance with paying the amount of $175 so they can access the storage unit for their belongings.”

Greene County Preventive is working with a couple and 1 baby boy, aged 10 months, who are currently homeless and placed in a motel room. The mother is employed while the father cares for the baby and is searching for work. The baby is old enough to sit in a highchair to eat but the family is unable to afford one. The family could benefit from a highchair for the child to allow safe and comfortable eating habits.

The family is asking for a highchair. A gently used one would suffice as well. Cosco Kids Simple Fold Highchair, Navy Glam - Walmart.com

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.

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.

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.

Good afternoon, I am reaching out on behalf of a single mother and her two children. They recently had to move out of there place and unfortunately, they lost a significant portion of furniture and belongs during the process.
