I have a young adult in a HCS placement. This young adult needs continued stimulation for her growth. The young adult loves to color, draw, paint etc. She is very creative and it helps her with her stress. This young adult is limited on supplies at her placement. The young adult also has a small space she can work. A personal desk or television tray would be perfect for her to have to continue her artistic side. Any help would be greatly appreciated for this young adult.

I have a 12yo child that was placed in a kinship placement. She is in need of school uniforms for a new school she was enrolled in. This will help her not be in dress code violation. She will also need a dresser to store her clothing. She does not have storage, and this will help with storage.

I have a caregiver that took in her 16 year old cousin. She is needing assistance with picking up a bed and desk for the child.

The caregiver would like assistance with picking up the items or assistance with getting a uhaul truck so she can pick up the items. The items have to be picked up on May 12th at 8220 Mosley Rd, Houston, TX.

Help a Teen Prepare for Hospital Admission This Week

A teenage girl in our care is being admitted to a long-term psychiatric hospital this Wednesday to receive urgent mental health care.

The hospital has a strict dress code, and she doesn’t currently have enough clothing that meets the requirements. We are asking for help by collecting Walmart gift cards or arranging a Walmart pickup order to purchase 10 changes of plain clothes and 3 pairs of shoes before her admission.

The estimated total to get clothes from Walmart is $250. Gift cards of any amount are appreciated—even $10 or $20 will help us meet her needs.

If you would like to donate a gift card or help place a Walmart pickup order, please reach out. Thank you for supporting her during this important transition!

The family just had a newborn. The family is low-income, and they do not have furniture in the home. They also could benefit from baby formula since they just gave birth to a newborn. They currently have safety monitors who have to live in the home, but they do not have beds for them.
