An awesome single mother and her smart and beautiful 3 year old twin toddler daughters, whose smiles and contagious laughs would light up your life, are in desperate need of a few items to help with making their home function a little bit smoother. Now that both girls are attending Prek, the mother has been working hard to maintain structure and routine in her home. One need she has expressed is being able to have a dining table that she and her daughters can sit at together to have meals and complete homework and craft projects. The mother has also requested assistance with getting a washer and dryer. She is still working to potty train her daughters, which has been getting better but it been challenging for her to keep clean clothes and linen in her home. She doesn’t have a vehicle or live in an apartment that has a laundromat so it can be a bit challenging during the week with trying to do laundry and ensure the girls have clean uniforms daily. Due to many toilet training mishaps, the girls are in need of new mattresses and linen for their toddler beds. These precious girlies can also use toy boxes, toddler girl clothes, and night time pull-ups. This mother has many cognitive and mental health challenges, and she experienced various setbacks throughout her. She has overcome being neglected and abused during her childhood, and losing custody of her oldest children, whom she has been able to reconnect with, and she is now moving forward after being a victim of domestic violence. As this mother continues to work on obtaining financial stability, she and her daughters are in a much happier and healthier place and every day gets better. The mother is seeking assistance with creating a resume and with learning how to count money. This mother is willing to accept used items and this request is not for new items only. The primary caseworker is able to pick up and deliver items to the family, including appliance and furniture items. These request will assist this family with more greater days to come!!! Thank you so so much in advance for choosing to support this family!!

This student is a 2nd grader who lives a mile away from the school. Her walk would be a 20-minute walk by herself, crossing major roads to return home.

This student desperately needs to be at school each day. When her mother is not able to pick her up due to her work schedule, the student does not come to school. The family is in need of funds to pay for after-school care each month. EDP is $377 per month or $3,016 for the year.

I have a pregnant mom sleeping on an air mattress and could really use better support as she is 7 months pregnant. If she couldn't get a full-size bed, I am sure she would be happy with a twin.

She could use anything to help her get prepared for her arrival.

I have a family who is currently in an emergency housing situation. The family consists of a single mom with three children. The student is in 8th grade on my campus, but he also has a brother in 12th grade, and a brother that is too young for school.

The family is in need of 200.00 dollars to be able to stay in a two bedroom hotel room for the week while they figure out a more permanent option. As of right now, both students are unable to attend school and all four family members are sharing one hotel room. The family's need is very urgent. Any assistance that can be offered is greatly appreciated.

The kinship caregivers are requesting a convertible car seat for the youngest female child that CPS has placed in their care. This 22-month-old is growing quickly and will soon outgrow her current car seat. The ideal car seat would hold a child with the weight of up to 90/100 lbs. The family stated they were also looking for a highchair and/or toddler seat that would fit onto a kitchen chair. This will allow the family to properly feed the child without holding her while they are attempting to eat. The family has been very diligent in meeting the children's needs and are only lacking these two items. At this time the family does not qualify for kinship funds so these items would be very much appreciated if they are able to be supplied.

A kinship family needs help with daycare costs incurred while caring for a family member's 1 year old baby while the parent was not a safe option for the child. The family stepped up for the child when no other family member was able to. The kinship family is on a fixed income as one of them is disabled. Therefore, the child needed daycare in order for the placement to work. Unfortunately, CCMS had some issues processing the daycare and the family had to pay out of pocket for a month and is unable to afford the large bill. Any amount will help. The amount can be paid directly to the daycare to help lower the bill for the family. If the bill is not paid, the child may be dropped from the daycare which could disrupt the placement.
