A family of four is in need of diapers (sizes 6 and 7), wipes, a pack-n-play, and a front facing car seat (for a 2-year-old). The family is currently experiencing financial hardship due to the father's incarceration. These items would help ease the load on the mother who does not have family supports in the city and is struggling to provide financially on her own.

A four-month-old infant was removed from his parent's full-time care and placed with relative. The relative has just moved homes and provided items for the child but has many expenses currently. The relative has expressed need for a crib, mattress, and fitted sheet for the infant. The relative also shared that the infant is outgrowing their current clothing and is in need of new clothes. Infant is currently size 0-3, but now nearly needing sizes 3-6 months.

This young man is in need of a dresser and a bed frame that does not require a box spring. The young man needs this for his new placement in his room. This will help him become more comfortable and have his own space. The young man has been moved three times. Thank you!

There is a kinship family that is currently struggling with bedbugs. The Department was able to get two treatments approved and paid for; however, the treatment provider reports the family needs approximately two more treatments in order to completely get rid of the bedbugs. The kinship family would like to adopt the two children. This is the second placement the children have been in, and they have already been separated from some of their siblings due to them having different fathers. The family members that are serving as kinship placement have been the most stable, loving, and consistent family these children have ever had. The approximate cost of two more treatments is $650.00.

A five-year-old male child has been placed in relative care as a result of an unsafe living situation. Placement is in need of new bedding for a twin bed they are currently using for him. Placement is in need of new twin size sheets, comforter, zipper mattress cover/protector, and additional pillow if possible (placement specified zipper for concerns of cleanliness, personal challenges, and bed bugs). Placement also expressed need for a new and age-appropriate booster, citing that the one they currently had saved is no longer safe and functional (cracked). Placement cited preference for high-back booster seat with five-point harness.

A three-month old infant was removed from his main caregivers and is in need of a crib, mattress, and fitted sheets. The infant has grown significantly while receiving much needed care and will outgrow his current clothing soon. He will need 6-9 month clothing. The infant's placement family has expressed challenges in financially covering these needs.

A 7-year-old child was placed with his maternal grandmother who previously had placement of the child during a prior removal episode. At that time, she had a toddler size bed, however the child is much bigger now, larger than a typical 7-year-old, and he does not fit in a toddler bed any longer.
The child is currently sharing a twin-size bed with his teenager brother. The grandmother could use a twin-size bed frame, mattress, and bedding set for the 7-year-old. This would allow both children to sleep comfortably and to have their own space.
The child loves Mickey Mouse. If there is an option to pick out bedding with Mickey Mouse, he would appreciate that.

A grandmother is placement for her 9 grandchildren, ages 2 to 16. She is requesting a fire extinguisher. She is also requesting a medical lockbox for her medication.

A grandmother is placement for her two granddaughters, ages 6 and 1. She is requesting a crib for the 1-year-old. She is also requesting a booster seat for the 6-year-old.

Mother and her 7 year old daughter moved into their new house a couple months ago but have not been able to afford some furniture due to not being able to transport all of their belongings and financial strain. The 7 year old currently has an older bed, but the frame is broken, causing the mattress to slump on the floor. The child could use a new mattress, bed frame, and bed set. If possible, additional furniture items the family could benefit from to make their house a home is as follows: tv stand, couch, bath towels, hand towels, and rugs. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

The family is in need of a dresser for a 13 year old boy. The boy and girl in placement have been transitioned three times. The family is trying to give the kids some kind of permanency in the home. The family is receiving services and are struggling financially. The father is working. A place for clothing is needed as the home is smaller. The additional needs of two teenage children in the home is straining the family financially.

Can I please update the request to a full bed that does not require a box spring. The family has the mattress for a full bed. The young man still needs a dresser, as well. Thank you!

A family with three children is in need of two twin beds for the twin boys who are 11 years old. The mother works hard to maintain the home while the father works. The placement will need the beds with a mattress to maintain the safety and well-being of the children. Bedding is needed for the twin beds, as well. The family struggles financially as mother has had to quit her job to watch over the three boys. The help is appreciated as mom is working very hard to maintain her home and keep her children in the home.
