We have a second grade student that lives with grandparents as his mother is currently incarcerated. They are also raising his oldest sister in high school and briefly had his middle sister with them before she needed additional mental health support elsewhere. The grandparents have recently found themselves in a dire financial situation for a variety of reasons. This second grade student experiences behavioral concerns here at school that administration, counselor, classroom teachers, and additional support have been working with him and the family on. This additional financial stress could be further hindering any improvements in behavior and academics as he is usually very aware of circumstances within the home. They are looking for any financial relief that can be offered or donated at this time and will be following-up with possible on-going assistance. She included estimates for the bills causing the most distress. The student is also in need of glasses, potential further mental health support outside of school, and more that we have been finding other reprieve for the family.
The family consists of a mother and her 8 year old child who recently moved to the area after leaving a domestic violence situation with the child's father. They had to leave suddenly and do not have many belongings. Mom was not allowed to work, drive, or finish her education, so she has been very isolated for years. The boy is medically fragile, so mom takes care of his medical needs 24/7.
Mom uses leftover money from the child's disability check to buy groceries for him. Due to his medical issues, he needs to eat only fresh produce and meat. Mom has said that groceries are what they always need the most, and food banks can only provide their shelf stable items. Mom says any fresh fruits, vegetables, and meat (NO pork - the family is Muslim) would be greatly appreciated.

A neighbor provided a twin mattress the child can use, but the frame is broken and he needs a new bed.
This request is for a 17yo student that resides with 3 other siblings and a single parent. I became aware of this student's need by a school counselor. I have connected with the family and have identified that this family is in need of and can benefit from financial assistance with an overdue utility bill from the summer. I am aware that this family has been struggling financially while the parent searched for employment. Parent stated that they are now employed and starts today. Parent stated that the financial assistance would be more so to catch up with their overdue balance of $500 for electricity from the summer. If not all can be covered, any funds toward their balance would greatly be appreciated. Thank you for your support and for your consideration in meeting this need.
17 year old teen mom is in need of laptop in order to complete high school. Youth is enrolled in a nom-traditional school setting that will support youth in graduating high school on time. Youth has fallen behind in school due to being a mom and student simultaneously. Youth is an amazing mother and really tries hard to succeed. A laptop will further help youth reach her academic goals in order to further support her transition out of foster care.
Summary: Family of middle school student requesting help with groceries and utility bills.
Context: Student comes from a single-parent household, where Mom is a dedicated educator struggling to make ends meet. In the past, the family has struggled with stable housing, but through their hard work and determination, they have improved their situation significantly. However, the start of school has put a strain on their resources, and they are needing help with groceries and their electricity bill. If this need was met even partially, it would help both the student and Mom maintain the stability and wellbeing they have worked so hard to achieve.

Single mother of three relocated from a domestic violence relationship. Mother and children in need of bed for the children to have a proper sleeping arrangement in their new home. The family is seeking help from community resources to rebuild and establish a safe home for children to learn and grown in.
This family needs assistance with obtaining some items for their babies. They have just been reunified with their baby for about 2 weeks now. The baby returned home from foster care with barely any clothing and they other baby is growing out of his clothes. They are in need of clothing size 12 month for a girl and they are in need of size 6-9 months clothing for a boy. The family has 2 parents, however, only one parent is able to work at this time. Providing clothing or gift cards for clothing will help this family out a lot as it will lift a financial burden. This will help them be able to save up money for when the babies outgrow their clothing in months to come. This family could also use 2 highchairs/booster seat for eating, as this will make meal time easier for them.
