Story
This family is doing everything they can to rebuild their lives after facing unimaginable loss. The 41-year-old mother suffered the tragic death of her partner to suicide, which led to the loss of both her job and home. With nowhere else to turn, she and her three children—a female, age 8; a female, age 12; and a male, age 16—were welcomed in by a generous family friend who offered them a place to stay, despite managing his own serious health challenges. All three children now share one small room, sleeping on a twin mattress and an air mattress, yet they remain hopeful and close as a family. They are in need of a few basic items to help create a more comfortable and stable living environment. A trundle or bunk bed would give the children a better place to sleep, and a washer and dryer (new or used) would help them keep up with everyday clothing needs. They are also in need of clothing: size 8–10 girls tops, size 10–12 pants, underwear size 7–8, and size 5 shoes for the 8-year-old girl; XL–2XL tops, XL black leggings or yoga pants (no jeans or bright colors), size 8W shoes, and underwear size 9–10 for the 12-year-old girl; and 4–5X tops and pants, underwear size 4X boxer, and size 15W shoes for the 16-year-old boy. Any support would mean so much as this family continues to move forward with strength, love, and hope for a better tomorrow.
