Support an Expecting Mom and Her Unborn Baby

Normal Request
A single mom to her 3-year-old son is currently pregnant and expecting her baby at the end of November. She has little support from family and the father of the baby has told her he does not want to support their family. This mom is accessing support from many resources by attending parenting classes and utilizing case management. She is currently facing the possibility of losing her housing but is working with support on this. The mom is asking for help getting the vital items she will need to properly care for her newborn. The client has been able to obtain a crib, but is still in need of a crib mattress and linens. We ask for new items. If the items are gently used, please be prepared to email photos for the mom's approval. Thank you!

Navigator is working with a single mother of 2 boys who is currently struggling financially. Client needs coats, hats and gloves for her 2 sons. Gently used coats are acceptable or maybe gift cards to help the family purchase coats for the kids. The kids are in kids sizes 9 and 7. I believe these are size mediums.

Help Preserve an Adoptive Placement

Normal Request
I am working with a kin-family who is working towards adoption of their two grandsons. They have placement of a 1.5 year old and a 5 year old. They recently got the 5 y/o a new bed, but it only came with a mattress and a frame. Because there is no box spring, there is a gap between the headboard and mattress which results in his pillow falling down. The family is requesting a box spring for a twin bed. It does not need to be anything fancy!

Help Improve a Child's School Attendance

Normal Request
Hello! I have a 16 year old male that has been struggling to get to school and has diabetes. The teen has an extensive history of trauma, as his dad passed away of alcoholism and his mother is currently homeless and struggling with substance abuse. The teen is currently living with a family friend that took him in to avoid possible foster care placement, and also has children of her own. The teen has been saving money to get a car for reliable transportation to school, and needs $200 more dollars to purchase the car. If he were to walk to school, it would take him about an hour, and this poses a risk for him passing out due to his diabetes. His caregiver leaves early in the morning for work, and is unable to drive him to school. The teen is wanting to get back on track with his academics and be the first one in his family to graduate from high school. We would greatly appreciate the remaining $200 for the teen to be able to purchase a car to get to school. Thank you!!

Normal Request
The Department is involved with this family due to charges for sexual assault by one of the siblings in the home. There is one victim and one other sibling who live in the home. Due to the severity of the criminal charges and allegations, there are very strict rules in the home and the supervision for the perpetrating child is intense. The victim and other sibling are unable to have friends at the home and the criminal case has significantly impacted the family financially and created a great deal of stress for the entire family. There is a great deal of focus on services for the perpetrator and for the most part, the family is pretty consumed with his therapy, criminal hearings, and court/DHS involvement. The other two children in the home have been unable to participate in regular activities unless friends or other family members are able to provide supervision, transportation and often cover the costs for them. They would like to have a joint birthday part at Bowlero in December as they cannot have a party at their home due to the charges against their sibling. This would cover the cost of lane rental, shoes, and snacks for a total of 15 friends and the two siblings.

A first time mom is expecting her baby to be born in December and she is hoping to prepare for the delivery with the necessary items to care well for her newborn. The father of the baby was originally planning to support the pregnancy and the expecting mom, but they have now ended the relationship and he is no longer willing to be supportive. This mom is working in a warehouse but is limited in hours she can work due to an inability to lift heavy items. She is currently living with her sister, but is also looking into a way to find her own housing for her and the baby. This mom is asking for help getting a stroller, which will equip her to care well for her baby and offer the baby safety. We ask for new items. If the items are gently used, please be prepared to email photos for the mom's approval. Thank you for your support!

Navigator working with a family consisting of Mom and 5 kids (14, 13, 12, 5 and 3). Mom recently separated from her husband who was charged with DV involving mom and the kids. Mom is undocumented and the husband is a citizen. Mom was a stay at home mom at her husbands request. Mom says her husband has always controlled all the finances. Since mom is unwilling to drop the criminal case, the husband is refusing all financial support. The families Pastor met with Mom and took the keys to family home and car. Mom and kids had to leave their home with nothing and are attempting to start over. Mom is dealing with her immigration status which has been difficult because her husband took all important documents (SS, birth certs). Mom is constantly being reminded by her husbands family and associates that nobody is going to help her because she is not a citizen and that she should go back to her husband. Mom has been in this abusive relationship for 15 years and has dealt with prior physical violence but this was the first time his violence was directed at the children and not just her. Client cannot work until her immigration process is complete. Mom needs help with food. The kids are in need of uniform shirts for the new school the kids are attending ($27 per shirt through the school) . The kids need clothing, Pajamas, shoes etc. The transition has been difficult for the kids as they miss their old school and friends. The family will be grateful for any and all help given.
