Story
We are requesting one twin-size bed (frame and mattress) and two dressers for a sibling pair currently living with their paternal grandmother through a kinship placement. The children a 10-year-old boy and his 6-year-old sister each have their own room upstairs, and we are working to ensure they have appropriate furniture to help create a stable, comfortable home environment.
The 10-year-old boy is a Type 1 diabetic and is currently sleeping on an air mattress, which is not ideal for his medical needs or overall well-being. A supportive twin bed will greatly improve his quality of rest and help with better management of his condition. Both children also need dressers to store their clothing and belongings, which will support organization and a sense of stability in their new home.
Since moving in with their grandmother, the children have adjusted well and are showing positive signs of growth and security. This kinship home provides a safe and loving environment, and meeting these furniture needs will help strengthen that foundation even more.
