Story
I am a school social worker seeking help for a fifth grader and her family at an elementary school I serve. The family experienced a house fire on Easter resulting in them losing their home and all of their possessions. Thankfully no one was hurt during the house fire but the family is currently in need of a plethora of support. The family is currently housed in a Best Western Hotel in Homewood, AL but we are unaware of how long they will be able to be housed at this location. The student is doing well physically but having challenges mentally and as a result has not returned to school. The student also does not have many clothing items and is need of clothes and shoes. The student clothing sizes are are Size 12- pants, size 14 shirts, size 8 underwear, size 32/ A bra size. The family is also in need of food and hygiene items such as toothbrush and toothpaste, soap, deodorant, hair care products, washing detergent, lotion, etc. This family is doing their best to manage this tragic situation and is welcoming any and all help.
