This request is for a single parent with 2 disabled children in the home. Her son recently underwent a serious surgery and mom had no choice but to take an unpaid leave from work. She tried to file unemployment but was denied since she is technically still employed. Due to this she is behind on her utilities. She used all of her saved money to pay rent and provide food for her family. Mom starts back to work next week but is needing help to get caught up for October and has no other means to get money. She believes once she starts back to work her family will finally be back on track. Account numbers will be provided for payment upon approval.

Hello there, we just placed a fifteen-year-old child with her great grandmother. The great grandmother is on a fixed income and is in need of a twin mattress and box spring for the child that we placed with her today. The great grandmother is also caring for another grandchild that she has adopted.
The grandmother has had the child that we placed with her today since she was a baby. We are hoping that someone could possibly donate this item and deliver it to her home. She lives on the 5th floor at an apartment building, and it would be difficult for her financially as well as physically to get. Thank you so much for your consideration.
