Reality LA

We have a family who is struggling financially and are unable to get a crib for the 5 months old boy. The parents are dealing with unexpected expenses related to a very expensive surgery that the 5 years old needs to have as soon as possible due to a medical diagnosis. The parents are hopeful to be able to overcome the current struggles they are facing financially to be able to continue providing safe environment for the children to thrive. Currently the parents are co-sleeping with the 5-month-old, and are in need of a crib and sheets so that the baby can sleep independently. The parents are not able to afford purchasing a crib at this time. Providing these basic necessities would diminish the emotional stressors on the family. By fulfilling this request, it would help the Department reduce the family's financial burden and help prevent court involvement and ensure family stability.

The household consists of a single mother and her three children—two boys, ages 11 and 6, and a 5-month-old daughter. The mother is incredibly resilient and has navigated many challenges throughout her journey in motherhood. At present, she is unemployed and under significant stress due to the father's absence from the home and his lack of support, particularly in caring for their 6-year-old son, who has been diagnosed with autism and requires high levels of care. The family lives in a single-family home with very worn furniture and limited clothing. Currently, the mother shares a mattress with both of her sons and her infant daughter. To help improve their living conditions and promote the children’s safety and comfort, the Department would like to assist the family in obtaining the following items: a trundle bed. Providing these basic necessities would not only ease the mother’s emotional and financial burdens but also allow the children to have their own beds, helping them get proper rest to start their days well. The family is really in need of the bed and bedding.

We are working with a devoted mother who has worked diligently to overcome significant personal challenges and has successfully reunified with her children. She is currently enrolled in online school, focused on building a stable and positive future for her family.

Despite her dedication and hard work, she is currently facing financial limitations and is unable to purchase a new car seat for her young child, who has recently outgrown the previous one. A safe and appropriate car seat is essential for her child’s well-being. Additionally, she needs sensitive diapers (size 6 and size 8) to help meet her children’s basic needs.

Any support you can provide would make a meaningful difference as mother continues her journey toward long-term growth and stability. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

This request is being made on behalf of a single mother who is scheduled to receive a Home of Parent order for her youngest child, who is 1 year old, on Friday, July 11, 2025. Additionally, her 388 request was granted, allowing her to receive more Family Reunification Services to help her reunite with her three older children.

The mother has been without a phone for some time, and we hope to obtain your support in helping her get a new one, either through her current mobile network or by providing a prepaid phone with some service included. She attempted to apply for an Obama phone (California Lifeline) but was informed that she cannot receive one because someone else has one registered in her name.

Since the mother has been granted reunification services for her older children, the court expects her to participate in and attend their medical, educational, and regional center appointments. Obtaining a phone is crucial, as it will help her keep track of these appointments and communicate with service providers. Without a phone, she risks issues being reported regarding her ability to keep up with appointments. Please consider assisting with this urgent need.

Single employed mother has been doing very well in relocating her children and herself into a safe and loving home.

This family includes four children ranging in age from newborn, 1 year old, 8 years old and 9 years old. While the baby has a crib to sleep in, the parents and other 3 children sleep on an old queen size mattress on the floor. They have a bunk bed frame for the two older children, but no mattresses. The family is experiencing financial hardship and cannot afford to purchase the mattresses themselves.

We are requesting 2 new twin size mattresses, as well as bedding for the beds (sheets, pillows and blankets), and face/body towels.

Adequate sleeping arrangements and proper sleep are essential for a healthy lifestyle. Filling this request will help improve the children's safety and well being and reduce stress and anxiety on the whole family.
