Our older youth was in florida when she was pulled over for driving without headlights on, and driving without a license. She was driving to pick up her 6 month old daughter from the person who was watching her. This youth has been trying to work and get the money to pay for the tickets but the cost of having her daughter, and getting her the items that she needs comes first. The tickets are $113 and $166. we are desperately trying to help her pay this so that she does not get a warrant issued for not paying the fines. She has been an amazing mother to her daughter, and this has been a stressful situation for her.

I have a family of 4 that is going through a tough time financially & could use a new microwave. The microwave they have now is broken & a new microwave could help the family with quick meals to help the kids before going to school and after. Once this need is met, the family will have ways for the kids to warm something up in a timely manner if they need to.

Expecting mother of triplets went into labor early and ended up losing of her babies. She is in need of most baby items but most importantly she asked for a simple request of a pack and play. She did state that anything would help her with the needs of the newborn babies. From clothes to various items such as diapers, and wipes. She also explained that she has been trying to find a bigger place with her growing family and has a house but needed help with the deposit(1,200). The items will help mom be less stressed while she continues to mother her newborns and grieve the loss of her third triplet. The deposit will secure the home she needs for her growing family.

We have a family who came into care, set of 4 siblings who are being split between two placements. The youngest two, aged 3 and 7, are in dire need of a bed, frame, and possible sheets/pillow. The placement is a family member who also has her own children and went from feeding 5 mouths to 7 and she is struggling financially and also left her job to care for the 3-year-old full time. She is in need of beds for both children as she just doesn't have the extra. If we can get a trundle bed, that would be preferred she said but will take what is given to help. These kids have been through a lot already and we are just trying to ease the stress and help maintain their placement.

Mother stated she would appreciate any donation of couch as she would like her home to feel "complete."
