This 5 year old little boy has suffered extreme trauma and neglect throughout most of his young life. Per recommendation we have enrolled this young boy in Hip hop dance lessons in order for him to express his emotions in a positive and constructed way. Being so young we are experiencing many emotions we are not verbally able to express or understand. Hip Hop offered not only positive social interaction with peers, but also a method to express himself through motion. Not to mention it is a BIG self esteem booster for Him. We are asking for support for the Fee associated with this class. We would like to keep him in a stable environment since most of his young life has been dysregulated and unpredictable. Please help us continue to change this little boys life for the better. Our future is a direct reflection of our youth.

A dedicated & caring grandmother is in need of assistance with some household bills. The grandmother has taken on the responsibility of taking in her two sweet grandchildren after being placed in foster care over two years ago. The children's biological mother is incarcerated and the children ages two and four have practically been with the grandmother since birth. The grandmother has completed all the steps for guardianship and is awaiting approval. The grandmother is no longer working full time due to caring for her terminally ill husband. Although they are separated, she has taken on the burden of caring for him in his last days because she has such a big heart. With having to reduce hours at her job the grandmother is falling behind with bills temporarily. She is needing help with an electric bill. The grandmother has been stretched very thin lately trying to work, care for the two small children and now her ill husband and could really use a helping hand. If you are able to meet the needs of this family by assisting with household bills, they would be extremely grateful. Thank You.
