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.
