We have a young, single mother of 3 children (ages 1, 4 and 5). She is experiencing unstable housing and financial stress. The mother is a victim of domestic violence and is trying to keep her children sheltered and safe from harm. The mother has been residing with the maternal grandmother in a single unit apartment with the children. The MGM put the mother and children out on yesterday and stole the mother’s food stamps from her EBT card. The mother is not able to purchase any food for herself and the children. She was able to get a room in Hollywood through PATH and is awaiting placement in a DV shelter. DCFS and the agencies involved with this family are working tirelessly to find a residence the mother and children. The mother can be reached on her cell phone and the CSW is able to correspond with the mother accordingly. We are hoping that a donor will pick up this request and provide the family with a $300.00 grocery gift card or purchase food for the family so that the mother and children do not go hungry.

I am currently working with a single mother who is currently in the hospital about to give birth. Mother has a open case with her six year old daughter. Mother has successfully secured housing and is in complete compliance with all court orders. We are tying to prevent the Department from detaining the newborn. Mother needs to have basic necessities when the Department goes to the hospital. Mother has most of the items but not the car seat. Mother continues to work very hard to reunify with her daughter and is following all court orders and recommendations. The case put a financial strain on mother as she had to attend various classes throughout her dependency case and purchasing new items to prepare for the new baby. Mother would be grateful for any assistance , thank you in advance.

Father is receiving Family Reunification services for his young son. He is requesting assistance with purchasing a Tracfone BLU View 5 pre-paid phone from Target to communicate with child, caregivers and social worker. Father is currently unemployed and is financially struggling as a single parent.

I am working with a family of six—a mother and her five young children—who are in need of support. Family has experienced homelessness and has been able to overcome many challenges. As the children have grown, the limited space in their home has made it difficult to provide each child with a safe and comfortable place to sleep. To help meet her family’s needs, the mother is seeking assistance with obtaining a bunk bed.

This furniture would significantly improve the children’s living conditions by creating more space and ensuring a safer sleep environment. Due to ongoing financial hardship, the mother is unable to afford this on her own. Providing this support would strengthen her ability to care for her children and offer her greater peace of mind as she continues to meet their daily needs. The cost of the bunk bed is 169.99 with a shipping fee of 79.99=249.98. Go To Link Along with mattress Twin XL over Twin XL Go To Link

Mother has finished all of her services and is awaiting her final judgement. Her last obstacle is paying off her traffic tickets. The current amount owed is $637.00. Taking care of this debt would help her get her driver's license back and allow her to drive her children and potentially work as an Uber driver. She is struggling financially and does not have the means to pay her tickets.

This is a father with current child welfare involvement. Father has one child that is currently released in his care. The department has informed the father that he needs two dressers in order to prevent a cluttered home environment. If father is blessed with the two dressers, it will prevent the department from having concerns in the future and allow the father to move forward with the closing of his case. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide this father and his children.

Current non-minor dependent recently moved into an apartment with his dog. He isn't able to work right now due to an injury so he is tight on cash. He needs a couch and refrigerator. He would be much more comfortable with those items and could focus on healing properly.

The family has a history of homelessness. The family just recently moved into a new apartment. Mother and the children have no furniture nor beds. The family is currently sleeping on the floor on top of blankets. Which it is very uncomfortable for the children to get a good night's rest and be prepared for school. The family does not have any couches or a dining room table. The mother will be greatly appreciative with assistance with beds or furniture for her new home, which will provide a safe and stable living home for the children. A Walmart gift card could assist with some bunkbeds or pull-out couch for the children to sleep on.

Single mother currently has an open DCFS case related to domestic violence. At this time, the mother has her child in her care and is actively participating in all required case plan services. She is currently unemployed and is in urgent need of assistance with transportation. Specifically, she requires a gas card to help her transport her child to court-mandated visits with the father. Due to the child’s autism diagnosis, public transportation is not a viable option for these visits. Providing her with a gas card would greatly ease her stress, support her compliance with the case plan, and allow her to better focus on both her services and reassuring her child during these challenging times.

Mother and her two girls, aged 9 and 5, are starting over. There was trauma in the family, which caused the mother harm. She took advantage of therapy and this family is now living in a smaller, one bedroom unit. They are happy to have each other and would appreciate any items from their list. One of the girl's favorite color is purple and the other child likes pink and tiffany blue.

The family needs bedding, a microwave, a shower curtain/hooks, bath towels and a mini refrigerator
