I am working with a mother that has unsupervised family time and begun overnight visits. She is needing assistance in gas as the placement is 2 hours away and would allow more visits outside when the caseworker is able to transport. This would also help the child get to see her mom as the Department works with the mother towards starting trial reunification. Any help is appreciated!
