High Urgency Request
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.

This youth is 15 years old. She struggles with self-confidence due to extreme skin issues, bullying at school, and lack of peer relationships. She plans on starting a vlog documenting her journey in learning herself and improving her over-all wellbeing. Topics that she plans on documenting include but are not limited to positive affirmations, makeup, hair, and dance. She is also looking into documenting her journey of improving her skin. She is currently struggling in school due to not feeling comfortable around her peers. By being able to do this, her confidence will be increased, and it will hopefully motivate her to participate in other avenues. The hope is also that she will be able to build and maintain positive relationships with her peers. This youth's goal is to also create revenue off her vlog through subscribers and views (YouTube).
