This Park Hill family needs help with their electric bill. Mom was out of work, but recently got a new job, and gets paid for the first time next week. Dad has been out on medical leave and is having surgery next week. The family also moved to a new, more affordable apartment over the summer, and have been waiting and waiting for the bills to transfer over to their new address, and how much they owe. The received their electric bill, and it was quite a bit more than they anticipated, and included a disconnect notice with it. The electricity was then cut off the day the bill was due. The 7th grader brought the bill to the social worker at the school the day after the power was shut of asking for help. Social worker was able to meet with the parents, and once Dad is back at work after his surgery, and once Mom gets paid regularly they should be fine, but this shut off and higher electric bill is beyond what they are capable of paying. Parents are open to assistance with budgeting, managing and saving money.

I am a school social worker at Gerner Family Education Center. Our building services ages 3-5 all of which have a variety of needs that are accommodated via special education or meet income requirements for our programming. One area that we have seen as a huge need is for diapers and pull ups. Because WIC limitations and the every rising cost of these items, we have experiencing several families that are not able to provide the appropriate amount of pull ups and diapers to meet the needs of their child. We have had several families that have to stretch their diapers beyond their use time which is causing potential skin rashes and overall discomfort for our already disadvantaged children. By having a supply of readily available pull ups and wipes for classroom and parent use would drastically fill a huge need. The size of diapers are as follows: Size 1 (infant) 2 boxes Size 3T, 4T and 5T pull ups... Enough to give one box to each classroom. Happy Bottoms has been a great resource however with a need this large they are not able to assist. Special Instructions: The size of diapers are as follows: Size 1 (infant) 2 boxes Size 3T, 4T and 5T pull ups... Enough to give one box to each high need classroom (we have around 10 high need classrooms) ht

Hello there, we just placed a fifteen-year-old child with her great grandmother. The great grandmother is on a fixed income and is in need of a twin mattress and box spring for the child that we placed with her today. The great grandmother is also caring for another grandchild that she has adopted. The grandmother has had the child that we placed with her today since she was a baby. We are hoping that someone could possibly donate this item and deliver it to her home. She lives on the 5th floor at an apartment building, and it would be difficult for her financially as well as physically to get. Thank you so much for your consideration.
