The family needs help with plumbing. Mother and her children had moved back into maternal grandparents so that she would be able to get back on her feet. However, maternal grandfather recently passed away and it has been difficult for the family. It's been difficult not only emotionally, but also financially as the grandfather was the main breadwinner in the home as well as mainly taking care of everything in the home. The bills and other needs have been transferred to mother and although she works she is not able to make ends meet for her family. Recently, there had been a leaking water pipe in the home and the family cannot afford to fix it. There is currently damage to the home. Looking for a plumber to at least look at the damage and provide an estimate and perhaps provide repair at a low cost to help the family.

This mother is immensely struggling. We have begun working with this family and have to come to find the conditions they are living in are less than ideal. Currently, the two children and mother are on the floor as they await beds we have ordered. We are hoping to find someone to support the family with 3 complete sets of bedding and pillows. With the colder months quickly approaching we want to provide some warmth and comfort as soon as possible as we continue to address other concerns. We are happy to receive monetary support and purchase through Amazon or we can work with you and direct you to the items online for purchase. Thank you so much for the consideration and support!

I am working with three children (13, 6, and 4) who are placed with their maternal grandparents who plan to adopt them in the near future.
The 13 y/o is in eighth grade and his school is going on a class trip in May of 2024 to Washington D.C. and New York. My kiddo has never expressed interest in much and he is often shut down and does not like engaging in activities like this, but he has expressed a high interest in going on this class trip. He lost his mother to an overdose about three months ago, so all of us are very excited to see him coming out of his shell a bit more since this difficult loss. The cost is about $2000 and the family understands the cost is a lot and will make whatever payments they need. Any assistance in funding this trip would be appreciated by myself and the family! I put $50 in the needs box, but any amount is appreciated.
