A family is seeking a relationship with a local church as well as assistance with bed bugs. There are two children within the home that are under 18 and both are males. The mother stated that the family has had bedbugs for a week, that she knows of, and has killed one crawling on a pillow and found one on one of her children. The mother stated that she has been spraying bedbug spray on the couch, but is worried as she knows they can live within walls and cracks. The mother has reached out to seven community resources, however has not had any communication or replies. The total below is an estimate as the family has not been able to call professionals as they need financial assistance

Single mother has had two children removed from her care previously due to mistakes in her past but has a newborn and a chance to right her wrongs. There are no concerns with the safety of the newborn in her care currently and mother has everything she needs for the child. Mom moved into a new apartment which has a bed for her but nothing else. She is requesting help getting the basic furniture with a couch, tv stand, dining room table, and at least two dressers. We are also requesting a gift card for food and gas to help her through until she can get her girl into daycare at 6weeks and go back to work. This is the first time she has had her feet underneath her and is excited to be moving forward. Please help ensure she can do so comfortably with her littlest blessing!

Family of three adults and nine children (ranging from infant through teens) heats with kerosene because their rental home's heating system is broken and the landlord refuses to fix it. They have looked but have not been able to find other housing in the past year. The family is now down to two days' worth of kerosene, and can buy only two cans at a time at $30 per can. Each can lasts one day between the two kerosene heaters. They have utilized local agencies for other aid, and have been referred again to Central Virginia Alliance for Community Living to check on weatherization services. Previous calls to CVACL were not returned, but they could benefit from insulation that would preserve their inside heat. They reside in a 5-bedroom double-wide trailer.

The baby is a premature baby born at 32 weeks. The mother doesn't have any supplies for the baby. The mother is being discharged today, and the baby will be discharged next week. He needs premie diapers, clothes, wipes, formula, a carseat, a stroller, and a bed.

This is a single mother taking care of three children. She recently gave birth a few months ago to a boy. The mother works two jobs in hospitality, and she did not receive maternity care due to the industry. The mother stopped receiving child support from the two older children's father, and the other father is not present as such. The mother's son has early kidney disease and has been receiving care in MD as he was born out of state, and therefore she attends services there for the baby. The baby is having surgery this Friday, and the mother has been struggling with being able to work when her child is considered high medical needs. This mother's service providers put in a SSI application, however that won't take place till January of next year. This mother applied for fueling assistance but won't be accepted till the end of December. Her utility bill is 484.31 and she faces disconnection on 11/28/23. I requested that she contact all financial agencies in the area today, but it will take time for her to hear back from these providers. She needs help, she needs support, she needs a prayer and thoughts that everything will be okay with her son. Please consider helping this mother :)
