Story

2 Children 1 Adult

Hello! I have a wonderful kinship foster mother who could use a little bit of help. She has placement of a teen, along with her own teen in the home. She works full time at a local mental health facility and also assists her adult daughter (who is disabled) with her own children, two of which are special needs. This lady has a heart of gold and would never ask anyone for anything but would give anyone her the shirt off her back. She lives in a small three bedroom rental and each time I have been to the home, she is so apologetic about "the mess". She is so embarrassed by the state of her home, which is just cluttered with stuff everywhere...clothes scattered about in the bedrooms, things all over the kitchen since it is so tiny with limited cabinet space. She has talked numerous times about how the home has absolutely no storage at all since it is an older home, and she knows the home needs some attention, but she simply has nowhere to put things. I offered to request a home organizer to come out and help her, but she said she is too prideful for that. But when I offered some dressers and storage items, she agreed. So that is my request...this client would be IMMENSELY grateful to have some dressers, and some shelving for their bedrooms/kitchen. This would help enhance the comfort and live-ability of the home for everyone and would take a load off her back. Any assistance you can provide to this sweet lady would be so appreciated!

We have three gently used wire shelves and one gently used metal shelves. We’ve also had a donation to provide two 5-drawer fabric dressers with wood frames if that’ll work!

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

We are requesting support for a mother and her three children who have recently moved from a shelter into a new home and are in urgent need of basic furnishings. The family currently has very limited household items, and the mother has specifically requested a small dining table so they can sit together for meals, as well as several lamps, as there is no lighting in their new space. Providing these essential items will significantly improve their living conditions and help create a stable, comfortable environment as they begin rebuilding their lives.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

Client Liaison received a referral regarding a family of 4 children one of whom is 18 and their mother and father. The family home had bed bugs and roaches. The home has since been treated but it was necessary to throw out all of the beds, bedding and possibly the couch to eliminate possible reinfestation. The family has been sleeping on air mattresses but one of the children popped his and now is sleeping on the floor. Family is working very hard to keep the home free from pests and are following all recommendations to keep the home pest free. They are in need of 4 twin size beds, 1 queen size bed and would love to have protective mattress covers for the mattresses if they are able to get those. Family would also be grateful for a couch and have stated they don't expect brand new but would feel very blessed if any help could be provided to help put the home back together. The family is working with other helping agencies to try to obtain bedding and pillows. They are exhausting all resources including their own to provide a safe home for the children.
