Mother and Father need help securing their apartment for their adventurous one year old and new born baby girls. The family is winning a battle against a cockroach infestation in their apartment complex. They need help with a baby gate to keep the one year old out of the kitchen and away from water sources that draw the cockroaches. Their kitchen entrance is a unique size and spans approximately 96 inches in width.

The family is also concerned about the child’s possible future access to a firearm in the home. The father does his due diligence in securing his sidearm (unloaded, hidden from the child), but as she ages they worry about her adventurousness and the potential for an accident occurring. They want to get ahead of it to prevent a tragedy.

Having two young children, the family is struggling financially, and are doing what they can to keep their children safe. These items will be placed to immediate use and lead to both peace of mind of the parents, and ultimately the safety of two small girls full of life and potential.

In addition to her own children, she also embraces the role of a grandparent, sharing her home with her 15-year-old's infant.
