This family is struggling with homelessness. The family consist of a single mother and three younger children. The family was previously staying at a shelter but was kicked out for not making it back in time in the evening due to vehicle issues. The mother is trying to find another shelter to stay at and has applied to numerous housing resources and all of them are on waitlist. Unfortunately the mother's only other choice is to sleep in the car with the children until she can find another shelter. The family is in need of sleeping bags that are rated for negative degrees to help keep them warm overnight. I think they would only need two sleeping bags as two of the children can share and the mother can share with one of the children as well. I found a sleeping bag on Amazon for $179 called ALPS OutdoorZ Sleeping-Bags Redwood -25.

We are working with a mother that has been homeless for a year. She just found out she is getting into transitional housing on 12/1/23, right before Christmas. Ideally, she will have her son home with her before Christmas so he can spend some time with her before she delivers a new baby in March. She needs all house things, as well as items for the baby. I had her create a registry for baby items if you could share with the folks you know.
Housing Items:
Queen Mattress + Frame + sheet/comforter set
Twin Frame (have a mattress) + boy sheet set and comforter
Small Dining Table and chairs
Small Couch/Something to sit on
Kitchen dishes and pots
Toilet Paper
Bathroom needs (towels, wash cloths, soap, shampoo)

This family consist of a single mother caring for four children. The mother is struggling with some of the children's behaviors. The children have been sneaking out of the home at night. Mom is doing everything she can to get the behaviors under control with services such as therapy. The mom feels that something that could help ensure the children are staying at home and not sneaking out in the middle of the night is having chimes on all the doors and windows. The mother needs support in getting these chimes. There are at least three doors that need a chime and 6 windows that need chimes.

I am working with a mother who's children are currently in placement. She recently lost her home and a lot of her belongings after being evicted. Following this, she was homeless for a while before going into treatment. She has struggled with getting things back and is hopeful to get some assistance. Because she is in treatment she is unable to work. Her primary need at this time is new shoes. She does not have many and specifically asked for tennis shoes. She is a size 8-8.5. Any support to help her with this need would be appreciated!

This kinship caregiver is a single grandmother. She and two of the kids have some health issues that is making this a high need request. The family has been having issues with mice in the home! The kids are scared and the grandmother is worried about the kids and her getting sick from the droppings. They have tried putting out their own traps and are not having success. The grandmother contacted an exterminator for a quote for them to come and help. This grandmother struggles to make ends meet as is, so this kind of expense is not possible for her.
This request is for grandmother caring for her 3 year old granddaughter. This family is in need of a toddler bed as the child currently does not have one. They would appreciate this so much!
