1 Child 2 Adults

KINSHIP. The caregiver recently took in her son’s friend after noticing he was frequently on the streets and learning he was about to enter the foster care system. The family decided to care for the 15-year-old and became committed to providing him with a stable and supportive home. Since his arrival, the family has had to double their grocery and household expenses. The caregiver has slowly been buying him a new wardrobe, as his previous clothing was too big. Additionally, the caregiver’s husband, a tree trimmer, has faced a slowdown in business due to the weather and the holiday season. However, they are confident that their financial situation will improve as his work has begun to go back to normal. The caregiver is requesting $1,500 in rental assistance to help them get back on track. With this support, they are hopeful they can stabilize their finances and continue providing care for the child.

Family is being reunited and has a new home. Working on gathering things to make it feel more like a home and help them get back on their feet. Starting with the beds. I have a full size bed for mom, but looking for twin size beds for each of the two boys. Mom has asked for pillows and I would love to find them bedding as well. Boys are into Pokemon and Sonic the Hedgehog but anything blue would work.
