High Urgency Request
Please help this single mother of 6. The mother was evicted after paying her rent up for several months and did not get her money back. This caused her to move into a 2 bed hotel with her and her children. While at the hotel her large suv was stolen and now she has no transportation to take her kids to school. I am asking for anyone who can help provide a rental car for the mom until she can hear back from the insurance company and/or save more money to get her own. I also am asking for someone to help with new hotel in a safer area for her and her kids for up to a month. Anything you can do for this family will be helpful!

The mother in this case is a single mom of 3 children under the age of 5, 2 girls and 1 boy. She was raised in the foster care system and has a very limited support system. She recently got a job after being unemployed for 2 months and moved into a new apartment and does not have a washer and dryer. She does not have extra income to use a laundry mat and has been washing the clothes in the sink for the time being. A washer and dryer would be extremely helpful to this family.

Mom is a single mother of 8 who is trying her hardest to provide for her children as she unexpectedly lost the family's primary source of income . Unfortunately, she is unable to provide her children an appropriate place to sleep at this time. Should this need be provided, it would allow for the children to get a good nights rest which will hopefully help them succeed in school, as well as in their peer relationships. The family could use either single beds or bunkbeds.

High Urgency Request
This is a very young family with two young children. They became parents as teenagers and are currently working on getting on their feet and learning how to care for their own family. Father and mother both do not have positive family relationships and are essentially on their own to care for their children. They have a strong relationship with one another, and the young father is a hard worker, trying to support his family the best he can. The children had previously been accessing benefits under maternal grandmother's name, but mother and grandmother had a falling out, as grandmother was allowing her new boyfriend access to the children and mother acted protectively. This resulted in the family being removed from grandmother's benefits. The baby lost access to her formula and mother has been frantically working to get the family back on benefits and access the formula needed for her child. The baby has a sensitive stomach to lactose and requires Enfamil NeuroPro Gentlease formula, so she does not have constipation issues. I and the pediatrician were able to provide the family with a small amount of formula in the meantime while mother works on getting the family back on benefits, but they likely need a bit more formula while they wait for benefits to start again.
