The family needs assistance with funds to move back home to Louisiana where the family support is. The family is a family of 7 and has limited support here in TX. The mom is wanting to move back to LA and does not have the money to afford the Uhaul. Budget truck quoted $400 for a one way Uhaul rental from here to LA. Being back in LA with family would be a better for mom and the children.

Two little girls ages 3 and 2 years old. They were recently placed with their paternal grandmother due to being removed from their mother. Their mother is suffering from a mental health crisis as she has been struggling with her mental health since 2021 that the Department knows of. These girls were removed from their mother before in 2023 and just got reunited with her this past fall 2024. Now, they are back away from their mother. The girls now reside in their grandmother's home with their older brother who was also removed. When they left their home, their mother was not in the best mental state to pack them clothes and they were unable to pack their own clothes as their brother who is 11 years old. Paternal grandma is on a fixed income, therefore unable to immediately get the girls' clothing and shoes. 2-year-old sizes (3T/4T in clothes and size 6 in shoes) 3-year-old sizes (4T/5T in clothes and size 7 in shoes)

The family is unable to pay their rent due to unforseen circumstances

I have a mother of an 11 month old child who is in need of a walker type toy to help promote walking for him. He is also in need of 12-18 month learning toys as well. Mom and Dad do not live together and neither one of them are working at this time. They do have a support system, but they are helping them with their child's basic necessities like formula/food, diapers, wipes and clothing. They do not have the ability to buy him toys that stimulate his learning.

I have a 17 year old boy on my caseload who is learning how to cope with music. He stated music helps him when he is upset. We are trying to look into getting him a MP3 to help him not have any bad outbursts.

Family is living off of one income and the mother is having numerous health issues. Family is requesting assistance with gas to help transport their son to and from school and to and from work for the father, to and from GED classes for the mother.

The client has four children that do not currently have beds to sleep in. The family has been staying with family and is now getting ready to move into their own. The mother is single raising 4 children on her own. The mother has been working hard to achieve safety for her children. One of the children stated that if I was able to help them get their own place that they will clean the house forever. The mother has been committed to services that will allow her to be a better mother to her children. With hard work and much determination this mother has not given up. If you are able to assist this family in any way. Your acts of kindness will be greatly appreciated.
