Mother only speaks Spanish. The child mostly speaks Spanish but can speak some English. Mother needs hats, gloves, boots, and a winter coat for her son. The child does not have any winter clothing. The family is struggling with paying their heat as well. Mother does not have money to buy her son winter clothes as she is already behind on rent and does not have a stable income. The child is 6 years old. I will double check the shoe size he wears. Mother stated the child wears a size 8-9 or a medium for the clothing.
