Hello, I am reaching out for assistance providing a single mother who has moved. She is in need of totes to store items as she has less space at this time.

Thank you

We have a client who has been in a Domestic Violence Shelter for several months. She is employed. She recently found housing with Miriam's House and is going to be moving into her own home with her children. The children have to change school districts. They are moving forward in life and making a new start. Our client has had her furniture and personal items in storage units for over a year, since being evicted from her home due to Domestic Violence. Her abuser had promised to pay the storage fee since he is the one who got the family evicted. He abandoned payments, resulting in high storage fees. She will be moving into her new home soon, and would love to be able to get her furniture and family items out of storage, as they have nothing. Getting her furniture will result in a safe home and help keep her kids and family together.

I am working with a mother and father, who have a young child- and are struggling with lack of financial resources to replace the door to their home. They currently do not have a front door- it is entirely broken, and just props up on the frame at night but is not at all attached. It is a safety hazard to the family to not have a door to their home, putting them at risk of harm. Any assistance that could be provided to this family to either obtain a new door, or help them put the door in would be greatly appreciated.

I am working with a single mother of 7 children, with minimal support and money- who is in need of child proofing door handles. Some door alarms have already been provided to her, but she could benefit from the door handles as well- to keep her young children inside at all times- as some of her children are very young.

A family of six is currently experiencing significant hardship and is in urgent need of assistance with obtaining cell phones and food. The parents of four daughters are currently homeless and lack access to a phone, which severely limits their ability to communicate with service providers, DSS, and other community resources. The communication barrier has prevented their ability to receive the support they need, however, with consistent communication the family can be provided more effective assistance.

Additionally, the family does not have access to food or water on days when community resources are unavailable. They also do not have transportation at this which has further hindered their situation.

Despite these obstacles, the family has demonstrated initiative by actively seeking out available resources and has clearly expressed a strong desire for help in order to be available for their children. Fulfillment of these needs will empower these parents to move forward in their goals and improve their well-being.

It is noted that two phones would be helpful, however, one will suffice if necessary.

A family is in urgent need of home security cameras to help ensure safety and support efforts to bring their child back home. Having security cameras installed will provide crucial evidence and peace of mind, aiding the family and authorities in their efforts to reunite safely with their child. Any assistance you can offer—whether through donating cameras or funding—would be deeply appreciated. The cameras will need access to Wifi.

A family of 6 is currently in emergent need of housing. The family is comprised of two grandparents caring for their four granddaughters; one of which is only a few weeks old. This family has recently been evicted from their home and have been staying in a motel while searching for housing, however, they will no longer have the funds to continue their stay past 6/17. With no housing the children are at risk of coming into foster care as they need a safe environment to reside. This risk could be resolved with the extension of the motel while the Department assists the family in finding housing.

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out on behalf of a dedicated single father who is working hard to provide a safe and stable environment for his two young daughters. He is currently in urgent need of two car seats to ensure his girls can travel safely and legally.

Despite financial challenges, this father is doing everything he can to meet his children’s needs. However, the cost of car seats is currently beyond his reach, and he would be incredibly grateful for any assistance or donation to help secure these essential items.

We are looking for:

One car seat suitable for a toddler age 3

One car seat for a younger child or infant age 1
