Hello! A grandmother recently became emergency approved as a foster parent for her 5 year old granddaughter through our agency. She is currently going through a divorce while now trying to raise her granddaughter. She is in need of a twin sized trundle bed and mattress so that the child has an appropriate place to sleep in her home. Currently the child is sleeping in her bed, and she is sleeping on the sofa. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

LCS staff have been contacted by a single mother of 2 children for assistance with groceries for the month of May. Currently, she is having to prioritize where funding go within the home and is struggling to cover all her bases.

If possible, could this family be provided with gift cards that are "grocery" specific so this is one less thing they have to juggle during the month of May.

Thank you!

Single mom raising two young children, a 2-year old boy and a 7-year-old girl. Summer is fast approaching, and when the school year ends, the 7-year-old will need childcare so that mom can continue to work. Mom would love for her daughter to be enrolled in a summer camp, but she cannot afford any of the ones that she has found so far. This young girl, in the 2nd grade, is reading at a 5th grade level! She is not only academically gifted, but is also sweet, sensitive, and kind. Mom just recently got back on her feet after a number of setbacks, including the loss of her own mother, who was her only stabile family support, and the realization that she could not continue to put herself through nursing school and work the long shift hours with two young children, and no help. Mom is the sole income-provider and has been fighting to give her children a better life. Mom has found a new job that she loves and that accommodates her schedule with her children, but it does not pay much. Mom has plans to go back to school to be an Ultrasound Technician within the next year. Any support in helping fund her daughter's enrollment in a summer camp is very much appreciated! For a cost breakdown, it is $50 a month for her daughter to attend the same daycare that her son goes to, and summer lasts 6 weeks.

Hi everyone! I hope you're all doing great. I wanted to reach out and ask for a little help for a family with three wonderful kids. The parents are really working hard to get by, but they could use some support right now. The kids could use some clothes, especially in season items, and some basic self-care products like deodorant, body wash, lotion, and curly hair products. I'm working on getting their clothing sizes so I can help find the right fit. Thanks so much for opening your hearts and helping out!

The amount i asked for is an estimate. The family would be thankful for whatever help can be provided.
