Kinship. The caregiver is a dedicated grandmother who has had legal guardianship of her 3
grandchildren since 2021. She stepped in to care for them after their parents neglected them. Currently, she is living with her mother, but her is mother selling the home, she has had to secure a new residence. She successfully put down a deposit and is set to move into her new home on May 1, 2025. However, since all the furniture in her current home belongs to her mother, she will not be taking any with her. She will be purchasing beds for the children and a couch to ensure they have a comfortable and stable living environment. One essential item she still needs assistance with is a refrigerator. She has carefully selected a model from Lowe’s, which is well suited for her family's needs, particularly as she likes to provide fresh meals for her grandchildren. Detailed information on the selected refrigerator will be provided to the responder. The caregiver is hardworking with a stable income, and she also receives Kin-GAP payments, which help cover the children's needs. However, moving expenses, including a $4,000+ security deposit, have placed a financial strain on her. Providing this assistance with the refrigerator would help alleviate some of this burden as she transitions into her new home, allowing her to continue focusing on caring for her grandchildren. Any support would be greatly appreciated in helping this grandmother maintain a stable and nurturing home for her family.
