Client is in need of a crib for the child. Caseworker has observed the child sleeping on an adult sized bed during multiple visits to the home. Child is in need of a crib, pack and play or a very large bassinet. Mother is the sole caregiver for her child and has no assistance from the father.
I have a single father who is caring for his 11 year old daughter. The daughter is disabled and was recently discharged from the hospital. The father and child were kicked out of their home and are currently living in a hotel. The father is behind on his hotel bill and owes $225. If he doesn't catch up on his bill they will be kicked out of the hotel and become homeless. His daughter is also required to drink Pediasure everyday due to failure to thrive but they ran out and the father doesn't have enough funds to purchase anymore. If she doesn't get the nutrition needed she can lose weight, which will place her back in the hospital. I am also requesting $60 to purchase two boxes of Pediasure that will last her a month. The daughter was recently approved for disability and the father will have additional income to care for her once payment begins.
An infant is placed by CPS with his great grand mother and is needing a baby bed or a bassinet.
He is currently sleeping in a play pen. It is extremely difficult for his grandmother to bend down and pick him up. If filled, this request would greatly assist the family.
A mother of 4 children (ages 3, 5, 8, and 13) was homeless and living in a shelter. She recently obtained housing but has no furniture. The children have air mattresses to sleep on now but are needing beds and bedding. The 3 year old is the only female child and would prefer any bedding provided to her be pink or purple. The 13 year old male child would prefer any bedding provided be Dragon Ball Z. The 5 year old male child would prefer any bedding provided by Sponge Bob. The 8 year old male child would prefer any bedding provided to him by Dinosaurs or Spider man. The family is also in need of a stackable washer and dryer, couches, and dishes.
This family is receiving Section 8 housing and they have 2 windows broken. The landlord is threatening to evict the family if the windows are not repaired by November 13, 2023. One of the children in the home (17 years old) had a baby 2 weeks ago and the family has no where else to go if they are evicted. The request amount is approximate and be higher or lower. Updated on November 13, 2023 by an Agency Worker The mother in this case has found someone who can repair the windows for a cheaper price. She is now only needing $700. She has stated if she can get at least $500, she can likely come up with the rest on her own.
Three girls have been returned home to their mother. Mom finally got them a place of their own and is in need of new beds for the girls.

Many of our students live in transitional housing, some face homelessness, and virtually all face many many challenges to completing their high school diploma.

A great aunt and uncle have stepped up and have taken in their niece's 4 children who range in age 6-11. The plan is for these children to be in the home permanently. The family washing machine has recently broke and is beyond repair. The family now spends a few evenings during the week at the laundry mat washing clothes for 7 people and then bringing them home to put in the dryer. A new washing machine will help this family greatly and reduce the stress of having to leave the home to do laundry.
A grandmother had her grandchildren, a 5 year old boy and 7 year old girl, placed with her. Her 4 year old grandson is in need of a new twin bed and mattress as well as bedding.

The grandmother just started working again after taking time off to get her grandchildren settled in her home and help them with the changes in their lives.
