Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing
This family has already had their water shut off due to non-payment. They are very close, 2 weeks at most, to having their Sewer cancelled as well as Gas and Electricity.
There is a mom, Gpa, Adult brother and 3 school age children all living in the home the mother owns.
Fixed income by G-pa, Brother in/out of work, mom has been unemployed until 2 weeks ago due to health issues. She got a good job w/ the city and is in danger of losing it if she gets a utility shut off by the city. Back to square 1.
There are 3 school age children who can not bathe appropriately, wash their clothes effectively and come to school dirty, smelling, its difficult for them to learn due to other children teasing them, itchy skin, all the things.
Community Action Partnership is already maxing out their funds to help catch up on the utility bills and pay to current. Catholic Charities is helping as well.
This family is in desperate need of $755. 92 to pay the sewer bill to current and $133.18 to pay the water to current to keep and turn all back on. With Mom's income continuing, she feels confident they can catch back up and get back on their feet.
Please help in any way possible and thank you in advance.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement
A family with two hard sleepers is hoping to get two shaker alarms so they wake up easier in the mornings. This will allow the individuals to get to school and work on time. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your consideration!

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing
I am working with a family of eight, a single mom with seven children. The family has struggled with hygiene and the cleanliness of their home. This mom recently got out of an abusive relationship and is doing her best to provide for and parent her seven children. She does have some community and family support but she is mostly doing things on her own. The family is in need of some hygiene, cleaning, house hold items. I was able to get some cleaning and hygiene items that we have here in our office, however, I could not get the house hold items. The family is in need of some kitchen dishes, plates and bowls, and it is a big family so they will need at least 10 of each. Thank you for all of your help and support.
