I have a pregnant mom sleeping on an air mattress and could really use better support as she is 7 months pregnant. If she couldn't get a full-size bed, I am sure she would be happy with a twin. She is single with 3 other children and has worked very hard to get where she is right now. She is currently pregnant with a baby girl. She could use anything to help her get prepared for her arrival.
A 17-year-old boy who lives with his elderly maternal grandmother needs to obtain his driver's license. He is a very responsible teenager who goes to school regularly, has a job, is involved in multiple sports, and uses his extra time to spend it with his family. He not only needs his driver's license so that he step into adulthood properly, but he also wants to be able to visit his parents who don't live close, be able to go to school/games/work without delay waiting on other people, and be able to get his sister to and from school and other services she needs because she also lives with her paternal grandmother and she works hours that sometimes interfere with getting her to and from school. Link to what the youth is requesting:
Jeanette:
Does he need someone to teach him to drive or is he just asking for the self taught course? I know that includes working with someone to sign off on the work and the to drive with him for the practical work.
A kinship caregiver took on the needs of a 2-year-old little boy in order to keep him with his older sibling. This kinship caregiver took in these kids with a house full of kids of her own already. She is limited on space and is having kids share beds right now. Due to the increase in kids, funds are allocated to maintain the basic needs and function of the family, food, and education. She is looking at obtaining a bunk bed to help our kids have their own bed and be able to feel like individuals and sleep well at night. This will help immensely and she will be grateful for any help.
A mom of a precious 3-year-old boy has been unemployed for some time now, unable to find work due to needing to be home with her son. She has been trying to find mobile jobs, but hasn't been successful. She's been able maintain basic needs of shelter and food for her family, but her son has been outgrowing his clothes and shoes. She has few items that actually fit him now and no shoes that fit at this point. He wears 4t in pants and shirt and size 9 in shoes. He likes blues, greens, browns, and reds.

Youth is struggling to make and maintain meaningful relationships. She is struggling in school as it relates to her grades, behavior, and relationships with her peers and educators. She has no motivation to complete school work or household chores.
Youth will be entering high school for the 2023-2024 school year. She will be starting a dog walking business for the summer. The hope with the business is that she will learn skills that she can apply throughout her life. She will build relationships and be more equipped to enter the 9th grade. By assisting her with supplies that she will need she will be encouraged to improve her behavior. She loves dogs and is motivated to make her pet a support animal and will use the money that she earns to buy things that she needs.
Shana:
I’d love to fund part of her startup costs for her business!
