Mother is receiving family reunification services through the Department of Children and Family Services. Mother has made substantial progress in addressing her issues and has complied with all of DCFS and Court ordered treatment plan. However, mother does not have stable housing. She reports she is temporarily staying with different friends but mother states their home is not able to accommodate her elementary and middle school age children. Mother does not have the adequate housing nor the resources to secure alternate housing to provide to her children so that she may safely care for them, if children are return to her care. Mother is undocumented. Court has granted overnight visits and the visits may take place in a hotel. The mother is asking if anyone can provide her with a gift card to be use to pay for a hotel. Mother has to show that she is able to care for her children during her visits. Mother would greatly appreciated and the children.

We are requesting support for this mother who has three children ages 3, 6 and 8. One of mother's children has a severe immune deficiency disease that is incurable. Because of this the children are all home-schooled to prevent chance of bringing home germs. The children would benefit greatly from a set of bunk beds. This is a single mother and she is indigent. The children currently have cot type bed and both are broken. The 3 year-old sleeps with mother and she has been told this is a health issue. I have looked on the Wal-Mart website and found two affordable options. A family member has agreed to assist with the mattresses if we can get the frame donated. Any assistance is appreciated.

I am writing to seek assistance of a caregiver- a grandfather who is currently the primary guardian for his 16-year-old grandson. This responsible grandfather has stepped into a vital role, providing emotional, physical and financial support to his grandson during a critical period in the young man’s life. The grandfather is on a fixed income and faces financial strain, particularly as he also pays out-of-pocket for essential medical expenses. The grandfather is seeking assistance to obtain two sets of sofas to help furnish the home for both comfort and functionality. Providing the two sets of sofas would help the family remove the old ones and improve the quality of life.

Please help strengthen a biofamily led by the mother. The mother was a victim of severe domestic violence where she felt trapped in her own home. Mother was spied on and threatened that if she disclosed the domestic violence that she was enduring, she and the children would be killed. When mother found the opportunity to leave that situation, she had to do it promptly and without any preparation. Mother and her three children left the home with only the clothes on their back. The sudden decision was made as mother believed it was the only way to save her self and the children.

This family would really benefit from some gift cards for clothing for herself.

We are asking for case of diapers and wipes as well as gift cards for groceries for a mother who has reunited with her children but is financially struggling at the moment. Meeting this need would help immensely with mother's mental health and stress. Mother has completed all her programs and therapy.

I am reaching out on behalf of a dedicated caregiver who is in urgent need of support. This caregiver lovingly cares for a young child (Almost 2) with autism and is currently facing a significant challenge. After a recent surgery, the caregiver is unable to safely carry or support the child while using their current umbrella stroller, which offers limited support and stability.

To ensure the child’s safety and comfort—and to help the caregiver manage day-to-day outings—we are requesting assistance in providing a full-size stroller. A sturdier stroller will allow for better support for the child and reduce physical strain on the caregiver during recovery.

This act of kindness will make a world of difference for a family navigating both medical recovery and the daily responsibilities of raising a child with unique needs.

A counselor at a local high school shared a need for a local family. The family was displaced, and did seek a motel voucher from the district. Thankfully they're back in an apartment, but the mom shared they're in need of a stove.The oldest a senior at the high school and there are two younger brothers. The family is requesting help in getting a gas stove.

We are asking for support for this family of a crib for their three month old infant. The baby has been sleeping with her parents and mother was told this is considered a health risk. At this time the family has no extra funds. Mother does not work and father is out of work on disability. This crib would support this family in staying unified by eliminating the immediate concern of where the infant sleeps.

I looked at Target and they have a crib that also converts for the child as they age to a lower position preventing the child from crawling over the edge. I have included the details below.

I am working with a family of six—a mother and her five young children—who are in need of support. Family has experienced homelessness and has been able to overcome many challenges. As the children have grown, the limited space in their home has made it difficult to provide each child with a safe and comfortable place to sleep. To help meet her family’s needs, the mother is seeking assistance with obtaining a bunk bed.

This furniture would significantly improve the children’s living conditions by creating more space and ensuring a safer sleep environment. Due to ongoing financial hardship, the mother is unable to afford this on her own. Providing this support would strengthen her ability to care for her children and offer her greater peace of mind as she continues to meet their daily needs. The cost of the bunk bed is 169.99 with a shipping fee of 79.99=249.98. Go To Link Along with mattress Twin XL over Twin XL Go To Link
