A family of a mother, step-father, and 3 children (9,6,1) is struggling financially and has requested help with a twin bed frame for their 6 yr old son. The family also is in need of a cleaning service to help organize and declutter their home in efforts to maintain the cleanliness.

This family consists of 6 children, two female ages 10 and 2 and four males ages 7, 6, 4 and 10 months. The family recently moved to America for a new start and opportunities but are in need of a stroller for the 10 month old as the one she has broke. Thank you!

A single mother of two children recently moved into her own apartment, after leaving a bad domestic violence relationship is in need of assistance for furniture. The mother asked the caseworker for a queen size bed frame, love seat/small couch and hygiene products.

This family consists of a single Mom is raising her 16 year old daughter on her own. She has limited supports and does not drive. The family is struggling with not having adequate clothing. The 16 year old often will not attend school due to not having any clothes. Both mother and child would benefit from having clothing. 16 yr. old- shirts (small), Short and pants (small). Underwear (small). Bra (size 32B), all no color preferences. Mom- Boys/men's clothing- small Sports bra- small Dark colors preferred.

The family consists of a mother and her three children age 10, 5, and 1, she is also 7 months pregnant. The father of the children does not live in the home and has severe mental health issues therefore his support is limited. The mother cannot afford childcare and is a stay-at-home mom. She also was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder. The one child is obese and recently broke the bunk bed frame. The family is in need of a bunk bed set, 2 sets of twin sheets, twin comforters/blankets, a toddler bed with sheets/blankets, med/large men's clothing, 5/6 in girls' clothing, 2t/3t boys clothing, and a couch.

A 15 year old boy is in need of a dresser. They are moving to a new home and need space for his clothing as his old dresser broke.

I have a single mother and primary caretaker of three children. The mother lacks financial assistance and cannot afford the furniture she and her children need. One of her child's mattresses is currently broken with sharp metal pieces sticking out of it. The family is requesting help with 2 twin mattresses/box springs, 2 twin bed frames, 1 king bed frame, and a futon/day bed.

Mother has two children, a 1 year old and a 9 year old. Following an incident requiring CPS intervention the 1 year old went to stay with a relative. Mother has worked very hard doing what she needs to do and her 1 year old has been returned to her care. Mother is also in CNA school looking to provide a better life for her family. A toddler bed with mattress would help the family as the 1 year old transitions out of the pack n play. Family income is limited right now until the mother is able to complete her CNA program and find employment.

Single mom of three recently moved into new apartment in need of dresser for three children.

I have a family in need of a vacuum, a push vacuum not a handheld one.

A single father of two children, one boy, 4 and a girl, 6, has recently been kicked out of his previous residence staying with his brother and sister in law. The family is now struggling with shelter and clothes. When they were kicked out of the home, they found shelter with DSS, but have not been able to get the children’s things from the previous address. The father is now asking for help getting some clothes and shoes for his children. For his daughter he is requesting pants/jeans size 7/8, shirts and hoodies size S/M, and socks and undies. For his son, he is requesting the same, pants/jeans size 6/7, shirts and hoodies size S, socks and undies size S, and shoes size 13 in kids, a 1 or 2 is also okay for child.

I am currently working with a single mother that has recently moved into her own apartment in Schenectady County. The department is currently working with mom on reunification with her 16 year old son that is currently in foster care. She is in need of a bunk beds (due to an older child residing in the home) for the 16 year old to sleep. Also, the youth is in need of a dresser. Any assistance you could provide this family would greatly be appreciated.
