Client has a severely autistic child who is now 5 years of age plus a 2 year old. Client has worked off and on and she had been working from September until March and then had to quit because of the 5year old behavior due to his autism. She recently moved because she thought it would be better if she was closer to her mother and sister. Her mother is who she can count on for helping her with the kids. FOB has not been a resource and her mother helps her when she can financially and always emotionally and physically her mother helps her with childcare, respite care etc. Client is requesting help with hygiene products (deodorant, lotion, female hygiene products), dish soap, Scott towels, toilet paper, pull ups/diapers and wipes for the 5 year old as he is not capable of being potty trained, laundry products and cleaning supplies for her home.

A family in need of various items. 5 children were displaced from their home and placed with grandparents. The grandparents are in need of a bunk bed. There is also a newborn child is also in need of various help with blankets and other essential items. The grandparents are doing their best to help provide for all 5 children and also having custody of their other 2 grandchildren. Due to the unforeseen placement they need help with this bunk bed to allow room for all 7 children. In order for these children to remain with their grandparents they will need appropriate beds. There is also a 6 year old non-verbal autistic child they is in need of a communication tablet that would help with his speech and communication with his needs. The agency is providing diapers and formula monthly to the family in this time of need to help support. We want these siblings to remain together in a loving safe home with their grandparents. The grandparents have found a van that would better utilize the family and are in need of $600 to secure this van as one of the cars broke down and this would allow the grandparents to travel together in one car.

The parents are in an inpatient treatment to be able to provide a safe and sober life for their children. Any help for this family would be greatly appreciated and the family thanks you in advance.
