Help Reunify a Bio Family
A single mother is trying to reunify with her son and just started working in Riverside county. She originally lost her income when the child was removed, as she was receiving SSI for the child's special needs. Due to the child's complex needs the only foster home found was far from mother's current home address. She is also facing an eviction and financial struggles with taking food or clothing items for her child during her visits. She was able to purchase a very inexpensive used car from a friend with payments from her new job. She has already spent her first worked income on basic necessities and getting the car smogged and registered. The car now needs tires to be able to be driven safely. By assisting the mother with the purchase of the tires, it will allow her to maintain her new job, prevent her from being evicted, allo wher to continue completing her court orders and allow her to meet the foster parent half way for more visits with her son to help her reunify with him. Any donation woul dbe appreciated. See link for Walmart tires. Go To Link

This request is being made urgently for rental assistance and to prevent future eviction. It concerns a single mother whose newborn baby was injured by the child's father, who is currently incarcerated. The mother is working toward reunifying with her baby. Although she does not have employment at the moment, she has interviews lined up for evening work. She is also exploring with the department and 211 for any assistance they can provide. She is dedicated to her child and attends all of the baby's appointments, which means she will need to balance work with staying connected to her baby's care.
The mother needs $1,900 to cover her rent for July. Any assistance that can be provided would make a crucial difference in her situation. Being evicted or trying to find stable housing while working on the reunification process could complicate her case and hinder her ability to reunite with her child

Mother contacted the Management to see what options are available for her to work with them and not have eviction.
Mother was informed that she has credit of $400 for over payment on another month.
Mother needs $1,500 by the 3rd to avoid eviction. The management company is willing to work with her and give longer time to come up the full rent amount and work out a payment arrangement, but Mother must give a payment before or by the 3rd. Please consider donating, even if it is not the full amount this will help mother not be on the street.

Mother needs one twin bed mattress, a waterproof twin mattress protector, and a twin bed frame for her child. Mother purchased a new mattress for the child back in October 2024 and had been wrapping the mattress in plastic to help protect the mattress, as the child frequently wets the bed. The child broke his bedframe by jumping on it and the mattress was soiled and had started to produce a heavy urine smell that spread from child’s room throughout the home; thus, mother had to throw both the mattress and bedframe away. Mother is unable to purchase said items for the child. Mother does have family; however, they have distanced themselves due to the intense behaviors of the child. The child is autistic; he elopes, has severe outbursts, can become violent and verbally aggressive. DCFS is requesting a twin bed mattress, a waterproof twin mattress protector, and a twin bedframe, otherwise the child will remain sleeping on a pallet of blankets on the floor. This need is being requested through Care Portal because unfortunately, DCFS’ timeframe in providing these items would take too long, as the child needs a mattress and bed frame. The total estimated cost of the items is $430.00.
