We have a young adult in our program who has completed and passed most parts of her GED test except the math portion. She struggles with this subject and asked our staff if we could help her find a tutor for math so she can retake that portion and pass! If you or someone you know feels as though they could help with this, please reach out.

Open case for domestic violence and environmental concerns. Single mom, no support from the children’s father. Mom has worked very hard and has been able to get the home cleaned up and everything else taken care of but attempted to purchase bunk beds off Facebook marketplace only to get home and discover she was missing several important parts. The seller has stopped responding. Mom is really struggling emotionally and financially with the loss of income, is behind on rent, and paying for beds only to have that result was more than disappointing. I’m hoping we can get some help with the beds at least. She is doing her best. Boys need bunk beds, twin over twin preferably, and girl does not need a bed but does need bedding no color or theme preference
