Story
The family has 10 children, ages newborn through 17 years old. They have recently moved in with their mother. The mother was homeless for a couple of months and was receiving resources to help her obtain housing. Once she was able to find a home she had all of the children move in with her, due to their father having to move out of the place they were residing. The parents are separated because the mother found out that the father was using substances while he was at work and no longer wanted to be with him for lying to her. The mother had been sober of substance abuse for more than 10 years and expressed an interest in completing her GED to receive a higher income to provide for her children. The mother only has two twin mattresses that are pushed together and a couch that allow the children to sleep. The mother is in need of mattress for all of the children (a crib frame/crib mattress, 3 toddler mattresses/ bed frames, 6 twin mattresses/bed frames). When the mother moved into the home, she does not have a lot of items and expressed need of cleaning supplies, blankets, and kitchen sets of bowls, plates, and silverware. If the family is able to receive any donations, they can continue to settle into their new home and make the bedrooms special places for the children to sleep in there comfortably.
