I am working with a grandmother who has taken her four grandchildren into placement. She was recently granted guardianship of those children, in addition to another infant, who is also in guardianship with her. She is currently in a 3 bedroom apartment. She has the opportunity to move to a four bedroom home. It will create more space for herself and the children. She is in need of half of the deposit. She has the other half. The deposit is $1900 so we are asking for assistance with $950. Thank you for any help.

A 15 year old girl would like an Insta camera and Bose headphones. This would help her because she is an introvert and these items would help reduce her anxiety.

Please help a family providing a safe and loving environment for a kiddo in need.

You make a difference!

We have a family in need of help with a few items. The first is two 5-point carseats for a 1 and 2 year old, as they are close to outgrowing their current ones. This family is also in need of assistance with transportation, whether from bus passes, gas cards, an Uber/Lyft card, or assistance with a vehicle, as the natural mother continues struggling with financial instability. This would help her maintain the ability to get to work, family time, and other services. This mom is also in need of a planner to better keep track of her schedule, including appointments with service providers. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!
