Help Strengthen a Bio Family
We have a young, single mother of 3 children (ages 1, 4 and 5). She is experiencing unstable housing and financial stress. The mother is a victim of domestic violence and is trying to keep her children sheltered and safe from harm. The mother has been residing with the maternal grandmother in a single unit apartment with the children. The MGM put the mother and children out on yesterday and stole the mother’s food stamps from her EBT card. The mother is not able to purchase any food for herself and the children. She was able to get a room in Hollywood through PATH and is awaiting placement in a DV shelter. DCFS and the agencies involved with this family are working tirelessly to find a residence the mother and children. The mother can be reached on her cell phone and the CSW is able to correspond with the mother accordingly. We are hoping that a donor will pick up this request and provide the family with a $300.00 grocery gift card or purchase food for the family so that the mother and children do not go hungry.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care
I am currently working with a single mother who is currently in the hospital about to give birth. Mother has a open case with her six year old daughter. Mother has successfully secured housing and is in complete compliance with all court orders. We are tying to prevent the Department from detaining the newborn. Mother needs to have basic necessities when the Department goes to the hospital. Mother has most of the items but not the car seat. Mother continues to work very hard to reunify with her daughter and is following all court orders and recommendations. The case put a financial strain on mother as she had to attend various classes throughout her dependency case and purchasing new items to prepare for the new baby. Mother would be grateful for any assistance , thank you in advance.

This is a father with current child welfare involvement. Father has one child that is currently released in his care. The department has informed the father that he needs two dressers in order to prevent a cluttered home environment. If father is blessed with the two dressers, it will prevent the department from having concerns in the future and allow the father to move forward with the closing of his case. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide this father and his children.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family
Mother and her two girls, aged 9 and 5, are starting over. There was trauma in the family, which caused the mother harm. She took advantage of therapy and this family is now living in a smaller, one bedroom unit. They are happy to have each other and would appreciate any items from their list. One of the girl's favorite color is purple and the other child likes pink and tiffany blue.
The family needs bedding, a microwave, a shower curtain/hooks, bath towels and a mini refrigerator
