Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

Normal Request
This family of four has just moved to Texas, and are in need of some furniture and appliances. They do not have any living room furniture, and do not have a washer or dryer. The parent also does not have transportation, which makes it difficult to get the students' clothes washed. Because of this, the students sometimes have inconsistent attendance as well. The washer and dryer would allow them to have clean clothing to consistently come to school in. They do not have any family members in the area, or much of a support system here in Texas yet. Any support you can give to this family would be greatly appreciated.

High Urgency Request
A maternal great grandmother agreed to emergently take over caring for a 1-year-old girl, 11-month-old boy and 3-week-old girl (great grandchildren) to ensure child safety and prevent the children from going to foster care. Grandma cannot afford to provide the necessary sleeping arrangements for all three of the children on such short notice. As safe sleep is a priority, these children, especially the 3-week old's safety would be drastically improved with proper sleeping equipment such as a bassinet (baby item/other). Additionally, the 1-year-old and 11-month-old's safety would be improved if they had their own toddler beds. The children are in need of clothing (for cold weather) and diapers would be very helpful in easing the transition for maternal great-grandmother and help secure a more permanent solution for the children. 1-year-old girl wears size 18–24-month clothes and size 4 diapers, 11-month-old boy wears size 18-month clothes and size 4 diapers and 3-week-old girl wears size newborn clothes and diapers. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I understand the price of this request is high, grandmother will be appreciative of anything provided. Caseworker can assist with pick-up/delivery - please call or text(###) ###-####. Thank you.

This family is in need of support as there are 3 teenagers being raised by a single mother since their father passed away. She works hard to care for her children and herself but she is stretched thin as one of her children has been acting out since losing his father and requires a lot of her attention to manage his behaviors and mental health needs.

It is a family of 7 with 5 children (11 years old girl, 10 years old boy, 9 years old girl, and 7-year-old twins, a boy and a girl). All of the children are in needs of beds. The family recently moved apartments and had to throw away all of the furniture away due to a roach infestation. The family did not want to move the insects from one home to the other and they thought the best course of action would be to throw everything away and start over. Anything would be helpful to the family and help ease the burden.

This family consists of a great grandmother who is on oxygen and mostly bed bound, and two grandmothers who are raising 4 children, ages 7-13 one with special needs who has limited verbal skills. The family lost the Great Grandfather in 2018 and has been struggling with grief, and cleaning out of his room which became infested with bed bugs and is now impacting the health and well being of the children and the family. The services requested will be able to chemically treat the home, heat treat the home and existing mattresses and provide mattress covers plus provide a year of warranty to make sure the pests are completely gone. We obtained 3 quotes for extermination services and the agency providing the services was the most affordable with the best coverage. The grandmother recently obtained a new job and is working hard to provide what she can for the family.

Grandmother is caring for 1 y/o (F), 2 y/o (M), and 9 y/o (F). The 1 y/o is needing a crib, and the 2 y/o is needing a toddler bed for appropriate sleeping arrangements. This would allow for the children to have safe sleeping arrangements. The children are also needing appropriate car seat safety, as they currently do not have any.
