Dream City Church

I am currently working with a teenage girl who was removed from her home and placed with her cousin. The child is in need of a queen bed and a mattress. She is currently sleeping on an air mattress.

This family is in need of a washer, dryer, twin size mattress, and full/queen mattress, and bed frame. The mother does not have a bed at this time due to the fact that they just moved from temporary housing to father's old home with nothing in it. Mom is a recovering addict that is now sober and trying to better her and her children's lives.

Family still in need of washer, full bed frame and full mattress.

Mother of four children under five is trying to potty train her children and they are afraid to use the big potty. Mom is looking for potty chair to make it easier for her children. Also, one of her children recently broke some of their dishes and they are need of some more plates and bowls. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A mother of three children in need of assistance with utilities with Electric and Gas. The mother states that the lease is in her name, however, the utilities are not. Unfortunately, the utilities are in the name of a person who recently moved out of the home. Utilities will be shut off the beginning of June. Mother reported that she just recently started her job this week. Any assistance that you may be able to give this family would be greatly appreciated.

Summer clothing needed for four teenage boys who have very little. Boys were reunited with their mother in the past 6 months and although she works full time she is struggling to keep up with their growing sizes! Gently used is welcome also. Boys are 15, 12, 10 and 9 years of age. Mom could also use help getting cleaning supplies to keep the apartment in good order as they are pretty crowded there!

A child was sleeping on the couch while the agency was attempting to provide a bed for the child. While the child was sleeping on the couch, the child wet the bed/couch several times. The family is requesting a new couch since the child now has a bed and the couch has a urine smell that the family cannot get out of the couch.

Mother and children are starting from scratch in new home, mother is low income she is also caring for a child with Cerebral Palsy, she is in need of help with beds for the children as well as herself

Our Care Coordinator presented this request after meeting with her client. She stated that this single mom of 4 is need of a crib for her baby girl who is 2 months old. She is not working currently, but is trying to find a job and maintain. Her daughter is growing out of basinett and stated that this was a major need for her. (Crib and matress)

Father of 2 young boys ages 5 and 4. Mom has been incarcerated and will be released from halfway house in June. Agency became involved due to dirty home, and dad tested positive for Meth. Dad has begun intensive outpatient treatment and is doing very well. He has had all negative drug screens and participates in group and individual counseling. This is an in-home safety plan with a caregiver. Dad is in the home. Dad and caregiver are working very hard on getting the home clean. Agency provided beds for both boys. They have a stove but only one burner works and the oven only broils-it does not bake. A working stove would be very helpful for cooking for the family. This does not have to be a brand new stove. A used stove in good condition would be fine.

Mom who was using substances has been working to maintain sobriety. She went into inpatient treatment and completed programming there. She has now returned to Springfield. She began by living with a cousin. She had her youngest child with her (2-year-old son). Since returning she is doing intensive outpatient treatment. She obtained employment at the hospital, and is working toward self-sufficiency. Her ex-husband had their 3 daughters but she is now able to have them home with her. She had to pay a deposit and 1st month's rent. She needs an electric stove, refrigerator, and sofa. They do not have to be new, she is fine with used. She has borrowed a tiny fridge and has a crock pot and 2 burner cook top. A stove, fridge, and sofa would be very helpful for her to begin her new life with her children. AGAIN- These can be used appliances and sofa. Thank you!

Mom's budget is tight and the boys broke their beds playing WWE. They are well taken care of and play well with other kids in the neighborhood. Any bed will do, but a metal bed frame may prove more durable.

Mom often helps the boys find worms in the yards and then takes them fishing and camping. They are a tight-knit and loving family.

A mother is in need of a dresser for her infant daughter. Mother is on a limited income as she receives Social Security monthly due to having a low cognitive functioning level. Mother is doing a good job at meeting the child's needs. This is the first time she has been given the opportunity to parent full-time on her own. Mother needs a dresser to better utilize the limited space in her home and the child's room. Mother would like to use the top of the dresser as a changing area with a foam supportive pad to lay across the top so a shorter sized dresser is preferable.
