This family has recently lost support of one parent and they have struggled to make ends meet. There is a child in this family that has sensory issues with food, and they request assistance in the form of grocery gift cards so that they may choose foods the child will eat. There are 3 children and one parent in this household, and they have a need for assistance with groceries. This will help them as they adjust to the changes in their financial situation and family arrangement in the household.

For a family in zip code area 24236
We have a family in need. The mother recently had a child who has been in the NICU at Niswonger's Children's Hospital for 47 days. Mom tries to visit her infant daily but the cost of gas is becoming problematic. In addition, once discharged, the child is being referred to a Pediatric Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist in the Tennessee area and will continue to have traveling expenses. I am requesting gas cards and food cards for the family to ease the burden of this commute. They are very appreciative of any help that can be given during this stressful time.
