A single mother of 5 is in need of assistance with her water bill. The mother has not been able to work recently due to having to care for her child who mental health diagnoses. Her child has not been able to receive the proper help that he needs and she has to be there for him around the clock to ensure he has the care that he needs as he is not able to attend school due to his diagnoses. She has worked with providers in the past but has not seen any progress in her child which has caused her to be overwhelmed, however, she does remain hopeful. She has fallen behind on her bills and is unable to pay her water bill. She was recently able to pay her rent but it was with the last of what she had. If this need is not met she and her children will be without water.

This is a family who recently reunified 2 weeks ago abruptly due to issues with the child's placement. The child has severe autism and is nonverbal therefore the mother had to quit her job in order to be his 24/7 caretaker until all services can be switch to this county. The process is taking long, and rent is due. They are in need of financial help with their rent to be able to wait for him to get stabilized so the mother can return to work.
The children were sheltered, and the caregiver needs assistance with a dresser and a table for the room the children will be sleeping in. Any and all assistance is appreciated.
This family has faced eviction recently but has been reunified with their mother. The mother is in need of two toddler beds with mattresses for her small children as they currently do not have any. The family has recently moved into their new home but because of the recent eviction they lost most of their basic household items like the childrens beds. We want the children to sleep comfortably at night in their own beds and have a fresh start to their new life with their mother.

This request is for a caregiver that took in twin teenagers after their guardian passed away. The caregiver has 4 children of her own and resides in a 3-bedroom home. Due to the number of children in the home, they would benefit greatly from a bunk bed system containing 3 twin beds for space and the safety of the children. She was able to purchase one set for the "girls" room, but could use assistance for a set for the "boys" room as 6 new beds is a large financial burden.

This young teen foster child was reunified with her biological family, however she never has a chance to pack up all of her belongings. Especially as the weather gets colder she is in need of some more of her clothes. The foster home and biological family have tried to coordinate a time to meet up, however the family lives several hours away. Schedules and distance have prevented them from being able to get her belongings to her. This request is for financial assistance to help cover the cost of shipping for this single foster mom so that she can send some of the needed clothing and some of the child's most cherished items to her. We are very grateful for any assistance that can be provided!

A single mother of 5 just moved into her new home in September. Prior to moving she had to pay to live in hotels and rental properties until she could find a place for her and her children to live. The mother also had car issues and had to buy a new car. Once the mother moved into her new home, she had to pay a $2,500 deposit. These financial strains all happening at once has placed the mother in a financial hole and she is unable to pay her rent and light bill on time. The mother works fulltime and also goes to nursing school. She does not make enough money to completely catch up on her bills. The mother's electricity is about to be disconnected. Meeting this request will allow the mother to be self-sufficient. If this need is not met, the mother's electricity will be disconnected and she will also not be evicted.

This family is in need of a toddler bed frame (they have a mattress) to ensure that the toddler (2 years) have a safe place to sleep. The bedframe was unfortunately broken during the family's move to a new location. Proving the family with a bedframe will not only keep the toddler within the rails of the frame for safety, but it will also help enhance the toddler's quality of sleep and eliminate dream dancing. It is important that a toddler have their own bed to avoid night walking, to enhance their autonomy, and avoid them wanting to co-sleep with parents.
