Help Strengthen a Bio Family
3
Normal Request
A mother and her two children recently had to move out of their prior home. Because of this, they had to do away with most of their furniture including a couch and the children's beds. The children are using an air mattress to sleep on currently. Having a couch and actual beds for the children will help them feel more comfortable in their home and help prevent other family members from trying to state that the mother has inadequate housing and attempting to take the children from her.

A mother and her child recently left the apartment they were staying in to get to safety and away from domestic violence. With this move, they are now living in a home with limited air conditioning. The family is in need of a window AC unit to help cool the home to prevent the baby from getting too hot and allowing them to live comfortably in the home.

Normal Request
A mother was awarded custody back of her children last year. She is living in a home where her two boys share a bedroom. Because both of the boys have their own separate beds, it does not allow space for the boys to actually play in their rooms. The home is small and there is not much room for the boys to play anywhere else in the home either. Having a bunk bed for his family so that they could have more space in their room would help to get rid of the extra clutter throughout the home which in turn makes it safer for their baby sister who will be crawling around soon.

Josh: It is not new, but I have an oversized chair that seats two that I could donate along with a matching ottoman. Is that something that would help this family?

Help Reunify a Bio Family
9
Normal Request
A single mother of 8 is attempting to reunify with her oldest child who has been placed out of the home for several months to receive psychiatric care. The child has made tremendous progress to the point that the team hopes to discharge him back home over the next two months, but housing has continued to be a primary barrier. The current living situation is not one that the child could return to, so housing is needed before reunification can occur. The mother has participated well throughout the case and has identified a potential rental property, but needs a security deposit and first month’s rent totalling $1850. We are requesting that CarePortal meet a portion of this need.
