Loudonville Community Church

The family is currently being house in a temporary shelter in Schenectady while waiting to be placed in Troy Housing. The hotel room has limited dressers/storage, therefore clothes and toys are in piles all over the room. There are two smaller CHN in the home that tend to get into things and the family needs a place to store things that they cannot get into.

I have a family where the mom was recently out of work due to her 7 month old sustaining a femur injury so the family fell behind on rent. Mom just recently went back to work but hasn't got her 1st paycheck since going back or NYS Disability while she was out on leave. The family also relies on Uber for transportation because the Medicab never shows up to transport them to medical appts and the mom will not bring her 2 small children on a public bus transportation. As the family is playing catch up on bills and provisions for the children, they are also in need of wipes, size 3 diapers, and 3T pull ups.

This is family of a mom, dad, 3 year old female child, and a 7 month old female child.

A family is looking for support!

A mother, child and grandmother reside together. They currently have no Air Conditioning in the home and the home becomes extremely hot. The home has some electrical problems, and so in order to cool the home the family is looking to acquire 2-3 fans capable of cooling full rooms.

3 Fans suited to cooling full rooms

A family is in need of support!

A financially struggling family is looking for help in acquiring a door alarm. The family cares for their 2-year-old Autistic child. The child has previously opened the door and left the home on his own. In order to maintain his safety, the family is looking for a door alarm that will sound when the door is opened. This will help them secure and protect the child.

Looking for: Open-Door Alarm

I am making this CarePortal request to help improve multiple children's well beings. A 23-year-old mother of 3 has recently taken custody of her two teenage siblings. She now cares for a 16-year-old, 15-year-old, 5-year-old, 4-year-old, and 3-year-old. This mother recently moved as well and only has a total of 4 air mattresses for everyone in the home. This mother is in desperate need of help. Mattresses are more important than bed frames - the family can survive with mattresses only so please make this a first priority & bed frames would be an additional luxury. If mattresses are not attainable, air mattresses would be a good temporary replacement.

This family consists of a single mom with a 10 year old daughter with minimal support. Mom is struggling with support but maintains a clean home and is looking for some basic needs for the child and the home. The family is requesting clothing for the 10 year old girl - women's size Large and shoes - women's size 7, clothing for the mom size 2X and shoe size 11, pots and pans, a toaster, and fans.

A single mom and her children are in need of support!

A single mother has been working to make ends meet while trying to meet the needs of her 2-year-old Autistic child and 1-month-old infant. The mother and children are having difficulty sleeping due to the excessive heat rising into the apartment. The 2-year-old Autistic child has a tendency to elope, and his irregular sleep has created additional risk of the child running away/escaping the apartment. Mom is looking for some assistance in managing the temperature in the apartment to aid in the children's sleep. Additionally, she would like to get locks for the door handles.

An 8-year-old-child is in need of support.

The caregiver of an 8 year old girl recently passed from Cancer. The child's aunt has been located and the girl will be moving in with her aunt and 6-year-old cousin. They are making space for the 8-year-old but are in need of assistance in acquiring beds for both children and a dresser for the 8-year-old as she is currently storing her clothing in trash bags and sleeping on the couch. This would be significant in reducing the strain on the family unit as they acclimate to their new family make-up and help the child feel a sense of belonging and normalcy after her current hardships.

This family in need consists of a single mother and her (4) children ages 7 months, 3 years, 6, years, and 10 years old. The family lives in a duplex within an apartment complex that has no AC. When caseworkers were in the home it was very hot; caseworkers were sweating so bad that they had sweat dripping off their faces. The children were also sweating and were wet (visibly) from sweat. The bedrooms are located upstairs, and it was much hotter up there. Although mom is a recipient of services from the local DSS, she still needs some help. Mom is requesting a total of 3 fans (2 for bedrooms, 1 for living room downstairs.)

The mother is on her own with her 5-month-old son. She has limited resources and is trying to figure out how to balance her new baby and how to get income. She is currently out of a job. Her apartment doesn't have air conditioning and must rely on a faulty window unit. She has said she can make it work with some box fans if an air conditioner is not available. Her son is growing faster than she can get clothes for and wants to try and get his next size up as he has already outgrown his current clothes. The child will need 9 month old baby boy clothes.

This request is for a convertible car seat for a child who is being cared for by it's 24 year old godmother. The mother does not provide any help or necessities for this child and is not really a part of the child's life. The godmother does the best that she can and has family that does occasionally help her support this child, however that help only goes so far. A convertible car seat will allow the godmother to transport this child safely. Thank you in advance for helping this family!

The mother has become an expedited relative foster parent for 3 children in addition to her own children. She is providing a local home for all 3 siblings to remain together. The items we are requesting are to assist her in meeting the needs of all the children in her home. Without these items she will not be able to continue to be a resource for these children! The children consist of two young girls ages 7 and 8, one 3-yr old boy and a 7-month-old baby girl. At this time these children do not have beds. The baby also needs a high chair to eat in. The relative foster parent also does not have a stroller to help transport the baby. Thank you for helping this foster parent who has graciously said yes to taking in a sibling group.
