I have a single mother with 3 children. 1 year old female, 2- and 5-year-old males and is currently 8 months pregnant. She is in need of household items, baby items for her unborn child, and current children such as beds, bedding, clothing, diapers, wipes and a stroller to accommodate all 4 children. She walks everywhere. She walks daily to drop off the oldest at school and any doctor appointments she needs to attend to. She is seeking help for the stroller the most as she is struggling to physically carry an infant and 2 toddlers on her own. If we can find a quad stroller that would help her have all the kids in one stroller. Helping her with a bus pass as well can help her walk less to get to her destinations needed. She has her own apartment at this time and is currently sleeping on an air mattress with both boys while the little girl sleeps in her crib. She is not currently employed. 1-year-old- female clothing 3T shoes size 5 baby size 7 diapers 2-year-old- male Clothing 4T shoe 11 toddler Pull-ups size 4T/5T 5-year-old- male Clothing- 6T School Uniform 2 navy blue collar shirts, 1 khaki short and 1 khaki pant Shoe- 13 toddler underwear- 6T Newborn (Baby boy) She does not have much for newborn child that is coming by the first week of October if not sooner.

This family is struggling financially, and are living with family. The children are sleeping in inflatable mattresses and the one year old is sleeping in a toddler bed with a sibling. We have tried other resources for beds for the children and have been unsuccessful. The children will star school soon and to be able to have a comfortable night sleep will help them wake up, ready to learn. The one year is sleeping with a young sibling and they are not able to have restful nights, they wake up often and at times they have fallen from the bed. Ideally they are in need of 3 sets of bunk beds and a pack and play for the 1 year old, but if just one item can be donated, it is so appreciated. Updated on September 11, 2023 by an Agency Worker
This family is still in need of a Pack and Play for a one year old to sleep or a toddler bed.
