Father and daughter report no needs, their humility and resilience doesn't go unnoticed, but their needs are very important to DCS in ability to function at their best. This request is for 2 beds and 2 clean mattresses. it is noticed that both father and daughter sleep in a home with minimal furniture, but have a safe roof over their heads. The father currently sleeps on a make shift bed on the floor in his room, and the daughter sleeps on a dirty mattress in her room and limited bedding. The daughter often is tardy or absent from school that may be a consequence of lack of sleep. The father visibly struggles to stand from a floor position and often reports physical discomfort. This youth loves playing in her schools orchestra where she plays the violin and is very positive in demeanor. Although the father has raised his daughter alone with a small budget, he has not been able to afford these items. The youth would like to have a clean bed and clean bedding for her family home. The family is working all recommendations that DCS has provided without hesitation and continues to get support through DCS Family Support Services Program, to keep the youth out of custody.
