Help Strengthen a Bio Family
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.

Help Improve a Child's School Attendance
Hello, I am working with a 12th grader that has been absent often due to the parent not having enough money for gas. The parent had surgery done and is possibly having a second surgery, the parent has been out of work due to her medical situation and is struggling to provide for her family. While the parent gets back on feet and starts back at work we would like to offer them a $400 gift card to help out with food, gas and other daily items they need. This will improve the well being of this student and sibling and also improve their attendance in school. We appreciate any help that can be provided for this family. Thank you and may God Bless you!

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care
Family consists of a minor mother (17 years old) and her 1 year old child. Assistance is being requested for the purchase of a crib and mattress for the toddler. The family lives in a one bedroom one bathroom duplex, where the bedroom is shared by minor mother, the child and maternal Aunt. Mother stated the child has a crib at father's home, however she cannot afford to purchase one for her home. Mother is not receiving any public assistance at this time, and will apply once she turns 18 y/o. Co-sleeping, especially at a young age can pose significant safety risks. It is recommended that the 1 year old child have her own safe space to sleep where she can be comfortable.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement
Assistance is being requested for a family consisting of a paternal grandmother and her grandchildren. The caregiver/paternal grandmother currently has four grandchildren placed in her care and had to part ways with the family couch because of damage. While the mother and father of the children are in the process of trying to reunify with their children, the grandmother/caregiver could benefit from help when it comes to receiving a couch. This will help support the children and family by providing the children with a sense of normality when spending time as a family in the living room, watching television, or simply just relaxing. Additionally, the grandmother/caregiver reported she sleeps in the living room on the couch while the children are in her care due to the bedrooms being occupied by the children and her daughter. A couch would also, therefore, help the grandmother with her sleeping arrangement. The family will maintain this need when it is met by taking care of the new couch and also utilizing the couch as a family.
