I have a mother, who has a child with complex medical needs. Mother lives in the home with her adult son and we are working on transitioning the minor child back into the home. Mother has recently injured herself and could use a recliner to prop her leg up. The family does not have much furniture in the home. I am requesting assistance getting the family a recliner, a loveseat or smaller couch, and curtains for the home. The family could also use a couple of dressers. Any assistance with any of the items listed would be a huge help to this family, as mother has no disposable income at this time.

A non custodial father has placement of his two year old son and is in need of a safe place for him to sleep. We are requesting a toddler bed and mattress at this time and bedding if able.

This assistance will benefit a single mother of a teenager who has a baby. The mother has recently entered back into society on the road of sobriety with her own home. The mother is in need of assistance with a washer and dryer. This is the last of the big furniture items that she is struggling to locate and currently does not have enough to go buy from a store. Mother has made amazing strides with improving her life as well as her situation in order to reunify with her daughter. Mother has an amazing bond with daughter's son and already purchased a crib for him. Mother is very independent, and it was difficult to have her accept the assistance that the department can help provide. Mother didn't want to feel incapable or like she couldn't do it on her own for her child. It was explained to mother that accepting this help doesn't make her any less capable of taking care of her family, it doesn't make her less of a mother, and accepting help is apart of being strong/the backbone of your family. She is not used to people helping just to help or people caring just because they care. She feels like there is typically an ulterior motive. Meeting this need will assist in the reunification process of this family and show mother how powerful it can be to have a community behind you to help pick you up when you're down.
