Our program recently enrolled this family in one of our Head Start locations.
The family is made up of two adults and one child. This family relocated to this area recently. They have not been able to connect or establish a network of support, as both parents are working and trying to make ends meet. They currently do not have a vehicle of their own to pick up furniture. This family does not have much furniture in their home. They are in need of a couch as well as a dining room table and chairs. Anything, new or used, would be greatly appreciated. The child is also in need of a bed rail for the bed. The bed is too high for the child's size and needs a barrier to not fall out of bed. Thank you for your consideration.
