Maternal grandmother needs assistance obtain bedding for her granddaughter's toddler bed. Grandma had to take temporary leave from her employer in order to take in her granddaughter, and she has a limited amount of resources. The child was removed from her parents due to mental health and domestic violence concerns. The granddaughter is going to be 2 years old in July. She like Bluey, Minnie Mouse, and the color pink.

I am currently working with a single father to help him navigate resources and steps to take to help better the well-being and safety of his three young children. This father has been working toward goals with such incredible determination and drive. He has jumped through so many hoops already to get his children in childcare so he can go back to work full-time. He has secured employment and is now looking for additional resources to help get clothing for his children who are needing an upgrade in sizes. I have never worked with such a driven and positive individual when facing such obstacles all on his own. He is in need of the following sizes and looking for multiple outfits for each child: -4T for the 3 year old (boy) -3T for the 2 year old (boy) -6-9 months for the 5 month old

These are foster parents who have fallen on difficult times and need some support paying a bill. This will help alleviate stress for the family and allow them to get back on track with their bills.

A close-knit family, consisting of a 79-year-old grandmother, her 29-year-old granddaughter, and two great-grandchildren (ages 4 and 5), reached out to OhioKAN for assistance in obtaining a living room furniture set and two $100 Amazon gift cards that will cover clothing/hard goods for the children. The grandmother has been the kinship caregiver for all three grandchildren throughout their lives and formally adopted the younger two in 2022. Shortly after the adoption, she was diagnosed with a chronic illness, leading the 29-year-old granddaughter to take on the role of primary caregiver for the household.

However, last month the granddaughter underwent back surgery, which has temporarily prevented her from working. Despite her ongoing efforts to maintain a stable and nurturing environment, the family’s limited income makes it difficult to afford essential items such as children’s clothing and household furnishings. Additionally, much of their furniture was water-damaged after being placed on the porch during a move, as it could not fit into their new living space.

Any support provided to this family during this challenging time would be deeply appreciated and would help ensure the continued stability and well-being of the children.

Support a great aunt provide her kinship children with an improved sleeping situation. This family of four recently moved into a home large enough to accommodate them all. At the same time, the family is experiencing an unexpected medical expense for the oldest child in the home. After having to pay out of pocket for the medical expense, travel for treatment, and accomodations for their stay, the caregiver is coming up short on funds she needs to finish furnishing the children's' bedroom. We are requesting assistance for a full over full sized bunk bed and new full sized mattresses. Due to the ages and behaviors of the children, this caregiver would prefer a bunk bed with tall railings on the top bunk and an attached ladder.
