We have a family who is on the verge of homelessness and is late on their rent. It would be helpful to get her late bill covered and would relieve a lot of stress on the child.

I have a single mother whose phone has been shut off. Her daughter suffers from seizures and mom utilizes her phone to get ahold of nurses when she has concerns, to make appointments and to schedule Medicaid transportation for those appointments. Once this need is met this will allow mother to continue to be able to contact her doctor with any other concerns and be able to schedule follow up visits for her daughter.

Mother is currently needing help due to recent injury at work and getting paid less. She is concerned about her son stealing the marijuana she is using to assist her medically and that is causing major tension in the household. Mother has asked to see if we can help get her a medical lock box for her personal belongings.

Mother recently required surgery and also got removed from her work position/transferred into a new position more suitable for her. This new position, however doesn't pay as much so the mother is not making as much as before. She is needing temporary assistance to help get caught up on a few things, but is working and trying to maintain stable housing for her child. Mom would like assistance with rent (1200) at least with half (600), electric (160.29) and gas (278.65)

I am working with a family to help keep their 3 young children safely in the home with them. The children are 1 (girl), 2.5 (boy) and 5 (boy). One of the major goals of this case is to improve supervision with the children and to increase their bonding efforts. Currently the family is not able to sit together to eat. This is difficult given the ages of the children. They do have a table and 2 chairs, they could use 2 or 3 kitchen table chairs, a highchair or booster chair that clips on to a chair with a tray. The family would be open to used and would also take an entire table chair set if someone had one.

The family also desperately needs cleaning supplies and hygiene items: paper towels, Clorox wipes, all-purpose cleaner, dish washing soup, liquid and dish-washer appropriate, laundry detergent, baby wipes, toilet paper and even queen size sheets.

I know it's a lot and please don't feel like you have to get it all. Anything helps. The most urgent need is the highchair and baby wipes. With 3 kids they go through a lot!

These items will help the family get their dining room cleaned up and appropriate to help facilitate family time and safer eating solutions than what they have currently been doing. I am happy to facilitate delivery in any way that I can. Please let me know if you have any questions!

The school community closet Warrior Closet gives every kid who visits for back-to-school backpack and school clothes shopping a brand new pair of shoes to start school in. We are preparing for our August 5th opening back. We had 99 kids come through last year for the three-day 6hrs of events. I like to put this out early so people contributing can keep an eye on the sales and when, especially Famous footwear and or Rackroom, do buy one get one 1/2 off bogos on shoes and backpacks. They also put a lot of shoes on clearance that you can buy with the BOGOs too. The kids 11 through size 1 love the character shoes. The 2 and or above ones I would do something they can wear more with everything.

Mom is in need of a new carpet and some new furniture. Mom has tried to clean up the carpet, but every time she attempts to clean it, it still get messy. Mom is wanting to get rid of it entirely, but doesn't have the funds. Mom also lacks some furniture in the home and could use help getting a couch or two.

On March 28th, this family had a police high speed chase on their street, and as a result one of the cars involved in the chase totaled both of their vehicles and went through the front of their house. This family has been financially devastated by the unexpected expenses while waiting for insurance reimbursements to come through. They are currently living in a hotel until the house is repaired and utilizing has many community resources as possible, such as food pantries but do not qualify for many resources due to not typically being a low income family. As of today, the family only has a couple of hundred dollars left to last them through the beginning of next month.

Currently, the family has $719 in miscellaneous bills such as gas, insurance premiums, hospital payment plans, and others. Additionally, they are having to pay out of pocket for hotel costs until reimbursements can come through. The family is so grateful for any assistance. We are asking for $1,500 to cover the miscellaneous bills and the remainder to go towards the hotel costs until their house is able to be repaired. Thank you for your consideration.

UPDATE- the family is back in the home, while safe to be in, the repairs are not complete and insurance is still a struggle. (CG)
