Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Normal Request
I have a pregnant teen on my workload who has a 3 year child under her care and will be due in August. She is in need of pretty much everything as she is currently living with her boyfriend’s parents and they are not willing to help much. She has asked me for food gift cards, care seat, stroller, and a bassinet for her expecting baby in August. She has enrolled in school for her GED and is wanting the best for her small family. Any assistance or support will help to get this young couple off to a great start.

I have a mother who recently got laid off from her job and she just moved to a new home. She was working on getting beds for each of the children but now doesn't have income. She is asking for one twin bed for her last child and a dresser for their room. Right now her two sons are sharing a twin bed so with an additional twin, they can each have their own.
