Normal Request
The family has been involved with The Department for an extended period of time due to multiple concerns. Mom lost her job several months ago and was receiving assistance and took some time off to focus on the children's mental health. There is a significant history of trauma and mental health with Mom and she is very overwhelmed. She has been the victim of DV and recently made a very positive decision to send all but one of her children to other family members to allow herself to focus on getting things in order for herself. They live in a duplex and when the neighbors secured services to eliminate roaches in their home, the insects moved into the family's home and this has been a long standing struggle with the landlord to remedy. Mom has been working very hard to clean up the home, however, with lack of resources this continues to prove a difficult task. The family is in need of cleaning supplies including beach, general cleaning sprays and disinfectants, trash bags, a mop and bucket, kitchen trash can, cleaning sponges or rags, ect.

Normal Request
A mother would love to buy a Christmas present for her son, but her financial situation is making this nearly impossible. She is a cancer survivor, and residual effects of treatment has left her unable to work and critically low on funds. Her son lives with her husband, primarily, and understands his mother's situation. Because of this, the son does not want to put further burdens on his mother by asking for Christmas gifts. It's our hope that we can get a present for this mother's son, so that she can share love of Christmastime with him. The son would love two things for his room: a humidifier and a warm comforter. Any kind of humidifier would be great, and his bed is a queen size. If we were able to get these presents for him, it would mean the world to both the son and the mother, proving that their bond is still strong, despite difficult circumstances.

Critical Request
Navigator is working with a single mother of 2 boys who is currently struggling financially. Client needs coats, hats and gloves for her 2 sons. Gently used coats are acceptable or maybe gift cards to help the family purchase coats for the kids. The kids are in kids sizes 9 and 7. I believe these are size mediums.

This kinship caregiver is a single grandmother. She and two of the kids have some health issues that is making this a high need request. The family has been having issues with mice in the home! The kids are scared and the grandmother is worried about the kids and her getting sick from the droppings. They have tried putting out their own traps and are not having success. The grandmother contacted an exterminator for a quote for them to come and help. This grandmother struggles to make ends meet as is, so this kind of expense is not possible for her.

This family moved to the states from Peru less than two months ago. They have no beds/bedding to sleep on. The family has an apartment but will sleep on the hard wood floors. Since they just moved here, they are still adjusting to their new lifestyle. Mom and grandma are both working however they are not able to save much money as they are needing to spend their money on necessities such as food and transportation to work. This family is still learning about the resources that are available to help them with this transition however they are in desperate need of beds to sleep on. There is a young 3 year old in the home and I hope that this request could lead to at least one bed for her to sleep in. The family has a kitchen table and chairs but any other furniture that may need a home, I am sure the family would greatly appreciate. Thank you for your consideration!

Our client is the main caregiver for her three grandchildren since her daughter has became homeless she has been caring for the kids. Grandma does not have a job she is receiving social security but that's only enough to pay for her rent, she cannot afford a crib for her new born granddaughter. To ensure safe sleeping for the baby it would really help this family if they had a crib.
