Story
Mother needs funds for food. Mother has been looking for employment but has not been successful. Although, mother is having that challenge, mother is meeting the case plan goals/court orders and is enrolled in parenting classes, family preservation, and soon individual therapy. Furthermore, mother is committed to reunifying with her daughter. Mothers goals are to find housing, employment, and reunify with her daughter. For these reasons, I am advocating for mother to have the need identified met. The main reason I am requesting this need to be fulfilled is because the youth that is living with mother is a picky eater, has a weight issue, and the mother will buy food that is specific to their culture. Mother has tried providing canned food and other but youth refuses to eat as he is very particular with the food that he eats. The youth is used to eating Salvadorian food that caregiver has made for him since he was little. To ensure the family has a safe environment for the children with the appropriate food, enhance the potential for permanency for this child. If this need is not met, the youth can potentially can result in physical well being of the child. This need is critical to ensuring that the family has enough food to eat while mother continues to look for employment the case does The estimated cost of the need/s being requested is $500.
