Kinship. The caregiver is a young aunt who took in her niece and nephews (ages 8, 5, 2) in March 2025. Th caregiver has been going through temporary financial hardships while trying to get everything situated for the kids. She explained that she had to take a break from school, and as a result, lost her job since it was a work-study position. The caregiver currently lives in her grandmother’s home, so she doesn’t have many living expenses. However, she explained that the kids came to her with no clothes and she’s in need of clothing and shoes for them. She is requesting $250 per child, totaling $750, so she can purchase what they need. She’s not particular about the store but suggested Walmart so she can get the most out of what she receives. This support would mean that the children can attend school in clothes they feel comfortable in, which ultimately gives them more opportunity to thrive. The caregiver is confident that once everything is situated, she’ll be able to return to school, get back to work, and start receiving kinship payments. Until then, this help would make a huge difference.
