Story
We are working with a teenage client, her case in foster care has been opened for two years though she was just reunited with her Mom a year ago. She is the oldest of 5 other siblings who are all at different stages of their foster cases, some are with foster families as Mom is actively trying to reunite with them all by taking classes and attending counseling. Mom has also started a new job and has challenges affording gas to take her kids to their services and more. The family came to our attention after encountering intense poverty resulting in unsafe living conditions and all of her kids being removed. Mom is now beginning to have more visits with her other children as their lives begin to stabilize. Our client who has also been dealing with potential enuresis now dearly needs a new queen-size mattress. She also needs a queen-size waterproof mattress cover and sheets. She shared that her favorite color is purple if it may be possible to get sheets in that color. It would mean so much to our client to receive this mattress to help have a fresh start to her life at home as her family's situation improves.
