Request: #231987 • Urgency: High • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: San Jose • State: California • Zip Code: 95132 • County: Santa Clara • Submitted By: Kinship, Adoptive & Foster Parent Association

Story

•
5 Children 1 Adult

We are supporting a single mother who is both adoptive and foster, as she relocates back to Santa Clara County with three adopted children. On Friday, May 9th, she was informed by a Santa Clara County placement social worker that my adopted daughter's birth mother was killed in a car accident. She is now in urgent need of an affordable 3-4 bedroom rental home to accommodate her two little sisters, who have also been displaced.

She has been a significant presence in these girls' lives since their birth and is one of the only constants they have known. Despite having excellent credit and a stable income, she is struggling to find an affordable place to live. Securing affordable housing is crucial for her to quickly take placement of the siblings, who are coping with the loss of their mother. It is essential to adhere to all foster care licensing regulations. Here are some items she would need for their new home: Bedroom:

  • 2 Twin bunk beds
  • A twin bed with a mattress and bedding set
  • Pillows
  • A dresser Kitchen Items:
  • Refrigerator
  • Silverware set for 5
  • Plate set for 5
  • Bowl set for 5
  • Cup set for 5 Living Room:
  • End tables
  • Standing lamps Additionally, rent assistance would be greatly appreciated to help ensure that the children can stay together as siblings. Remaining in the county is also important, as their case will involve visits and other local services. Thank you for your support.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

This sweet mama has been faithfully walking with us in the parenting program, doing her best to care for her two precious little ones—a lively 4-year-old boy and a curious 2-year-old girl. Recently, her little girl figured out how to climb out of her crib, and as you can imagine, that has brought some big safety concerns for mom. She’s been feeling anxious and wants to make sure her daughter has a safer, more secure sleep setup. Right now, she’s hoping for help in securing a twin bed for her toddler—something that gives her peace of mind and helps her little one rest safely. HiAgain is providing the twin bed for this toddler, and all that needs to be done is delivery. This little family just moved in to a new apartment as well and could use the the encouragement of the local church to feel welcome in her new community.

The mother is on her own with her 5-month-old son. She has limited resources and is trying to figure out how to balance her new baby and how to get income. She is currently out of a job. Her apartment doesn't have air conditioning and must rely on a faulty window unit. She has said she can make it work with some box fans if an air conditioner is not available. Her son is growing faster than she can get clothes for and wants to try and get his next size up as he has already outgrown his current clothes. The child will need 9 month old baby boy clothes.
