Help Reunify a Bio Family

Normal Request
D is a 14-year-old male and T is a 15-year-old male. They are so excited after two long years to be going home with Mom and their brothers. This mother of five boys has worked incredibly hard to reunite her family and it is finally happening. The boys lost their father about 3 years ago, and have been staying with relatives since that time. D and T's mother wants nothing more than to have all her children back home with her now that she has been working to get back on her feet. The boys are in need of beds for the home so they can be returned to their mother. The children's father unfortunately passed away over 2 years ago so they could use all the love and support that we can give them. Can you please help these boys with a new or gently used bed to sleep in? Thank you for anything that you can do to help this family's life be a little easier. We appreciate you so much and all that you bless children and families with to make their lives better.

This family is in need of a bed frame for Z, 7 yrs old and her brother, whom was reunified with their mom about a year ago. Z was previously reunified with her father, but has since been removed from her father due to concerns in her father's home. Mom has continued to work on case plan tasks and has provided progress for their family. The family is requesting bed frames for both a child in the mother's home, to help aid in reintegrating Z back home with her mother, as well as provide suitable sleeping arrangements for the other child in the home.

Normal Request
We have a wonderful single mother who has brought 4 children into her home to provide them with love and care in this stressful time in the children's lives. She is on a fixed income though and her funds are tight for getting anything extra that the children need for bigger items. We have been able to get the children two sets of bunk beds, now all we need are some new or gently used bedding to help them have a comfortable place to sleep and wake up ready to learn at school and play with their siblings. S is an 8-year-old female who likes pink and loves Moana, J is a 7-year-old male who likes red and loves anything with motorcycles or trucks, N is a 6-year-old female who likes the color purple and loves Elsa and the Frozen movie, and A is a 5-year-old female who likes pink and purple and she loves Rapunzel. Thank you so much for your generosity and anything that you can help with. We love our CarePortal Churches and are so grateful for you.

Normal Request
M is a 15-year-old female who needs a place to keep her clothing. M has a very small room but it is all hers; it just needs a dresser that stands tall and not wide. New or gently used would be such a blessing. This foster family is just starting out in life and has very limited furniture. They have big hearts though and welcomed M into their home. Can we please help M with a dresser? Thank you so much for your amazing generosity, we are so grateful for you.

High Urgency Request
The family consists of five brothers, with the youngest two, X age 10 and Z, age 12, having returned home with their mother after she has been working case plan tasks faithfully since her release from federal prison in October 2022. The two youngest brothers had beds at their grandmother's house from the time they were in out of home placement, but have only been left with mattresses to sleep on at their mother's home. Mom does not have much family support nor community support. Mother is working the jobs that she can with a felony record, but she is also providing to meet other needs of the boys. Mother is also trying to provide for her older sons as much as she can while they are still in out of home placement. Their father is not present due to a fatal drug overdose in 2019 in which the family was present to see him pass. The two youngest boys have reintegrated with their mother. Their three older brothers are still in out of home placement as mom adapts to providing primary care for the two youngest children who have the most behaviors. The case team is asking for two bed frames for twin sized beds.
