RCDSS is working with a family consisting of a single 23-year-old mom and a 10-month-old son. Mom is currently $4,100 behind on rent. She has a December balance of $41 that she is currently paying on but still has to pay the rent for January - April which is $1,057. Every month on the 6th late fees of $105 accrue on the account. Mom is currently unemployed but is actively job searching and interviewing. She has reached out to TANF and has secured emergency assistance of $1,500 which has been applied to the account. Any assistance with this would be very helpful. Thank you for considering!

A child has had to move with his mother through a CPS case. When he left his previous home, he was not allowed to bring his personal items including his clothing. The child currently only has a couple clothing items at his mother's home and is expected to stay there for the foreseeable future. His mother just changed jobs and does not have any extra funds to help with clothing. The family expressed that they would be grateful for donations or a gift card to the following clothing stores: Marshals, Old Navy, or Target. The child is a 14/16 in children's if it stretchy or a small in men's. He is a size 9 in shoes.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement
I have a foster child that has been placed with her brother and his fiancé, which is going well so far, but they are in need of some financial assistances with their rent. He is a little behind in rent and would be most appreciative of any contributions in helping him so that our placement stays successful.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care
I am working with a family that includes the grandfather who is a vet, his daughter and his grandson whom all live in the home. The family lives in a hoarding situation and desperately needs assistance with getting the home clean. Currently the grandfather has a boot on each foot for medical reasons, and the daughter is not mobile and in a hospital bed. The living conditions appear to be getting worse and are unsafe for the child. We are asking for either a team to help clean the home (we do recommend protective wear for this job) or assistance paying for a cleaning service and any recommendations of cleaning services that accommodate this kind of situation. If the home is not clean the child will be at risk of coming into care. The child has a very special bond with his grandfather, and we are working very hard to prevent him from being removed.

Single dad shares custody of his 6-month-old daughter. Dad works full time, 12 hour shifts, and has full custody of his 12-year-old son. Dad would like to get his daughter on his days off. His daughter is currently staying with her great grandfather and his wife. The baby has been sick with respiratory issues the last several weeks. Great grandfather is having to take off work to care for the baby. Great Grandfather states it would be a big help if the baby's father could help care for the child. Dad is trying to gather things so that his daughter can stay with him some, but he does not have a crib.

Single mother with no income and limited supports needs diapers and wipes for her year old daughter. The child is in size 3 diapers and is sensitive to some diaper brands. Brands the child can tolerate for diapers are pampers and parent choice. The brand of the wipes does not matter.

A single mom with three young children is currently in need of beds for her two toddlers. The whole family currently sleeps together in a queen-sized bed which is both a safety hazardous and a hinderance to their well-being as the mother is unable to sleep through the night. The family is requesting a twin-size bed/mattress for the 4-year-old and a toddler bed/mattress for the 2-year-old. Additionally, the family is in need of another dresser as the space they are staying in does not have closets causing storage to be limited. A gently used dresser would be accepted if donated.
