This family has been living in a motel for 2 years. The mother is physically disabled and cannot walk or stand without a walker. She normally lays flat on her back most days. She cannot sit in regular chairs for long periods of time (recliners are ideal). The daughter is 14 and has not had her own bed in 5 years she normally sleeps next to mom. The apart has room for a twin bed for her. There is a 3-year-old grandson that come to the home. Having a sofa or loveseat would be nice to watch TV(they don't have one yet) or read a book. They live off of SSDI. They don't have any dishes, towels, etc. This family is completely starting over.

The mother and children live with a grandmother. The home is hot, and the family would be benefit from air conditioning. The child is diabetic. This will help ensure that the home is cool with the summer months coming up and help keep the children safe.

The youth is in need of funds for graduation (cap & gown) fees. The youth is also in need of the funds to take Driver's Education course to learn to drive so that she can get herself to and from appointments.

Youth is really good in sports. He did play basketball and football this year he did well in both. Youth is interested in wanting to do a basketball camp for the summer. The camp of his choice starts June 9th. This camp will take place for 3 weeks in Ohio and Las Vegas. His family is not able to pay the funds for him to join the camp.

Youth was recently placed in a Kinship Placement with a relative. The placement has been going well and youth is doing okay adjusting. Due to this new change the caregiver has had to miss some work days to assist youth with all his appointments and needs and they have fallen behind on rent.

Request for Bedding and Household Support A single mother of five children is working hard to provide for her family while facing significant financial challenges. She is trying to create a safe and stable home environment for her children as she prepares for their return to her care. The children include two older kids, ages 10 and 11, and three children under the age of five. The family is in urgent need of the following items to support a hazard-free and nurturing home: • Bunk beds or individual small beds for the older children • A toddler bed (for a 1.5-year-old & the three year old) • A crib (for an infant) • Basic home furnishings (any available support in this area would be deeply appreciated)

Currently, the children’s beds are broken and unusable, and the home lacks essential furniture. Providing these items would significantly improve the children’s quality of life, safety, and comfort.

The family just moved and in the process of moving the children's beds broke. The father is a single father caring for both of his children on one income and he needs assistance with two twin beds.

I have two grandparents that took in their grandson. One of the grandparents on are disability. They will not qualify for kinship payment assistance. The caregiver's would like assistance with getting diapers and wipes to take to daycare and have at home for the baby. The baby has very sensitive skin and is using Huggies brand size 3. This would be very helpful for the grandparents after taking on the unexpected expenses of a child.
