A grandmother is now caring for her 6 year old grandson due to severe physical abuse. The child is starting first grade next week and does not have any clothing that fits him. The clothing that was provided to the grandmother by the child's parents are 1-2 sizes too small. The child is is need of pants (does not like jeans), shirts, shoes, underwear, socks, masks. The child also does not have any fall/winter clothing as we begin to transition to cooler weather. The grandmother and the DSS worker is willing to do the shopping or allow the church donating to shop for the child. The grandmother is trying her hardest to take care of her grandson with limited financial support as she is having to step down from her management position at work to care for her grandson. The male child loves trucks, cars, paw patrol, and super heroes. NEEDS: Sneakers - size 1; Pants - size 6/7 (child does not like jeans); Shirts - size 6/7 or small; underwear -size 6; socks; mask Updated on September 03, 2020 by an Agency Worker
The grandmother will take any amount of clothes or funding that she can receive as the child needs weather appropriate clothing for the current season and clothing for fall/winter.

We have a family that we are currently working with that is in need of repairs on their home in order to increase the safety and well-being for their four year-old. The trailer is in need of repairs to the flooring, one window, and the bathtub. The walls to the bathroom are also in need of being fixed and dry walled. The family reports that they are able to complete the repairs on their own and are requesting financial resources to assist with that.

Mother has transportation issues which has caused barriers for visitation with the child. I am requesting to get an Uber or Lyft giftcard. Thank you!

This family is working hard to create a better life for themselves and their child. They have identified family patterns that they wish to overcome. They are working with the Department through a 12-18 month program in order to remain substance free and become positive members of the community. This program focuses on behavioral change, employment, sobriety, stable housing, mental health and overall well-being of the family. The mother has been accepted into Liberty University and will be pursing a BS in Psychology with a goal of becoming a positive support to others that are dealing with substance abuse issues. She has expressed a need for a laptop in order to complete coursework effectively. The laptop will help her complete her course work and help her reach her overall goal of graduating college and creating a better life for herself and her child. This family has expressed an interest in connecting with some more positive supports in the community as well as they do not have a lot of positive family support at this time.
