A set of grandparents have worked hard to help get their grandchildren out of foster care. They have completed all requirements to become licensed foster parents.

A young adult is transitioning out of foster care and into her first home. She is very excited, but needs a little help affording comfort items. She is in need of a queen size bed spread and sheets, a television, a firestick if the television is not a smart tv, a full body mirror, and a tapestry to decorate her new home. She is very much into “hippie” vibes, and would prefer the bed spread and tapestry to be multicolored. Her favorite color is yellow. * due to safety reasons, this cannot be dropped off directly to client, but rather can be dropped off to our Newark location. Client does reside in New Castle County*

A pregnant mom and her 2 toddlers need financial help to move from their current dangerous housing situation. The mother was in an abusive relationship, that she has left, but is being threatened by the father, who lives close to her. She is fearful for herself and her children and would like to move to keep them all safe. She's not financially stable enough to leave her home. She owes money to a previous rental agency, who evicted her and several others during the pandemic. She hopes to get away from this dangerous situation, but needs to pay her previous rental agency so she can have some money left to move. She and her children would also benefit from the encouragement and emotional support of a church body.

A single mom of 2 little girls, 3 and 4 years old, is struggling after the ceiling in her apartment totally collapsed on her little girl(s). She works full-time but has struggled financially and has no money to buy furniture and clothing for her girls. It was all destroyed. She is staying with relatives until she can find housing she can afford, but can not stay there too long. She was able to get summer clothes for the girls so now needs fall/winter clothes, coats, shoes, and toys. (4 year old): size 5/6 in girls/ shoes: 10 1/2 - 11. (3 year old): size 5T/ shoes: 9. Once she has an apartment lined up she will also need help furnishing it, including beds for all of them and dressers. The clothes and items for the girls can be delivered now, but the furniture will be contingent on when she's able to move into an apartment. Any help is appreciated during this very difficult time, and will help stabilize their living situation and keep them together.
