Good afternoon, I have a family that is requesting two playpens, and one crib. The family resides in a two bedroom home, and they are all sharing one room. The playpen that the family currently has is ripped. Two adults and four children under the age of 5 reside in the home.
I have seen these items on on Amazon for the below price, but they are available at many of the retail stores.

I have a biological mother who attends weekly family time sessions with her daughter who is 11 and treatment. She is working her treatment plan in hopes of being reunified with her daughter. She is currently homeless but just got a job at a Veterinary Office. She can only work so many hours a week due to a car accident that has left her with pain. She has disability pending. This mom has a car that needs emissions and tags. She does not have the money for this. She could use an American Express gift card or cash to help her with these two things.

This family is struggling with homelessness. The family consist of a single mother and three younger children. The family was previously staying at a shelter but was kicked out for not making it back in time in the evening due to vehicle issues. The mother is trying to find another shelter to stay at and has applied to numerous housing resources and all of them are on waitlist. Unfortunately the mother's only other choice is to sleep in the car with the children until she can find another shelter. The family is in need of sleeping bags that are rated for negative degrees to help keep them warm overnight. I think they would only need two sleeping bags as two of the children can share and the mother can share with one of the children as well. I found a sleeping bag on Amazon for $179 called ALPS OutdoorZ Sleeping-Bags Redwood -25.

We are working with a mother that has been homeless for a year. She just found out she is getting into transitional housing on 12/1/23, right before Christmas.

I had her create a registry for baby items if you could share with the folks you know.

This family consist of a single mother caring for four children. The mother is struggling with some of the children's behaviors. The children have been sneaking out of the home at night. Mom is doing everything she can to get the behaviors under control with services such as therapy. The mom feels that something that could help ensure the children are staying at home and not sneaking out in the middle of the night is having chimes on all the doors and windows. The mother needs support in getting these chimes. There are at least three doors that need a chime and 6 windows that need chimes.
