Story
Family consists of a single mother and 11 year old son. Family is homeless and child was recently detained due to concerns for the child's safety. The mother is currently addressing underlying issues to successfully reunify with her son. Regular visitation between child and his mother takes place as part of their family unification services. These visits often occur in familiar and favorite locations, like McDonald's, which the child particularly enjoys. During these visits, the child might ask his mother to buy him food, and she will often oblige, which helps the child feel cared for by her. Although the mother has some financial limitations, these moments during their visits are important for strengthening the bond between them. Assistance is being requested in the form of McDonald's gift cards to allow the mother to purchase meals for the child during their visits.
