Story
Single mother of 3 young children ages 2.5 weeks, 4 yrs and 6 yr is struggling financially. Mother left a severe domestic violence situation in another state and relocated to Junction City to find safety for herself and her sons. She was pregnant at the time with her daughter. She developed pre-eclampsia during pregnancy and was forced into bed rest and is not currently working with the recent birth of her daughter. Mother had room-mates for a short period of time who allowed their cats to pee and poop on one of the children's mattresses and all over the bedding for both boy's beds. They are no longer there. The boy's do not have bed frames just mattresses on the floor. Mother tried cleaning the mattress and the bedding to no avail and doesn't feel that it is safe for them to sleep on. Mother and children would benefit from a new toddler mattress to replace the destroyed one as well as toddler frames for both boys to get their beds off the floor. They would also benefit from sheets and blankets for the toddler beds. Mom said one of the boy's favorite colors is purple and the other is red but they would be grateful for any color. Mom said that the swing that she has for her newborn is also broken and while not an absolute necessity is helpful to have and would be thankful if it could be replaced. These items do not need to be new. Mother would be grateful for any help. She is currently involved with a DV support group but is struggling with starting over.
