Story
We are submitting this request on behalf of a courageous and resilient mother who is facing significant challenges. She is currently living in a hotel with her three young children — two sons, both of whom are on the autism spectrum, and a young daughter who is still in diapers. This mother is also pregnant and trying her best to care for her children under extremely difficult circumstances. This mother is doing everything she can to hold her family together with very limited resources. Living in a hotel means she has no access to a full kitchen or storage space. Preparing meals, managing routines, and providing structure for her sons — both of whom need specialized attention and stability due to their autism — is a constant struggle. On top of that, she is carrying another child, which brings added physical and emotional stress. Her love for her children is evident in everything she does. She is not asking for luxuries — she is simply asking for basic necessities to help her children stay nourished, clean, and comforted during this vulnerable time. The family is in need of: Food assistance (groceries, grocery store gift cards), Diapers and pull-ups (for the young daughter, size 4T-5T if possible) Wipes and basic hygiene items, and assistance with gas.
