I have a parent who was able to finally move into an apartment through the Salvation Army. The father only has outdoor chairs to sit in. The father has congestive heart failure and is sleeping on a hard floor. The Salvation Army has informed the father they would help with furniture, but no one is returning his phone calls. The Father can benefit from a bedroom set/ just a bed full size or larger. The father would also benefit from a living room set. The apartment is a one-bedroom apartment, and his 17-year-old son will be united with him. If there is a living room set the 17-year-old will have somewhere to sit and sleep. If the father gives the 17-year-old the bedroom the father will have some where to sleep and sit if a living set is provided as well.
