I have a client with 3 young children. Two of these children currently share a bedroom and bed out of necessity. They are 6 and 4 years old. The family does not have the means to purchase a bunkbed and mattress set and would be tremendously grateful with any assistance in helping these children have their own space, as their constant growth displays, they are in definite need of! The home has low ceilings, being mindful of this is important to the family as to ensure the safety of the child that sleeps on the top bunk.

The children were brought into care due to safety concerns. They are currently staying in a hotel to keep them together as a family with their only viable relative placement option in the country or they will be split apart in separate placements.

We are requesting assistance to help with the hotel room so the children can stay together as a family during this difficult time.

Children Home Society is working closely with this caregiver who is doing their best to provide a safe and nurturing environment for their little one. This family is caring for two children under the age of 2 and the children are in need of new born and size 7 diapers and wipes. Would you consider stepping in to meet this need? A simple gift of diapers and wipes can ease a real burden and remind this caregiver they are seen and supported. Your response sends a powerful message: You are not alone. Your community cares

Mom was referred to Safe families for help to establish her first home on her own with her two young children. She does not have any OCS involvement and has been involved in Young Lives. She and her children left an unsafe situation where all of their possessions, besides a suitcase filled with basic clothing, were ruined. She is in need of beds and bathroom necessities, including a shower curtain as well as diapers and pull-ups for her kids. Her apartment is completely empty and so she is seeking a bed for her son and is hopeful to get a bed for herself and has been working hard on getting this taken care of. She has no toys, or furniture or appliances or cleaning supplies and is very low on food items. She does have a vehicle where she could pick up smaller items, but if furniture and bigger items could be delivered that would be a huge blessing. The kids both wear 2T sizes. Her son wears size 2T pullups and her daughter wears size 5 diapers.

This request is part of the Bundles of Hope initiative. Children’s Home Society is working closely with this caregiver who is doing their best to provide a safe and nurturing environment for their little one. This family is caring for a child under the age of 2 and the child is in need of size 6 and size 4 diapers and wipes. The relative has been providing for the needs of the two children and would benefit from this initiative. She states it would be a blessing to receive this generous offering.

Hi Crew! A Wooddale global partner is moving within Minneapolis, and they would appreciate some help with yard work this Friday and Saturday (5/23-24). I know this is very short notice on a holiday weekend, but if anyone is willing to help out, let me know!

Good morning, friends. I have been made aware of a young woman who is 7 1/2 months into a high-risk pregnancy, who has a connection with someone in our church. Part of what she is struggling with is that one of the twins she is carrying passed away quite early in the pregnancy. She has also been in and out of the hospital with various infections, but the baby is fine. She had to quit her job so she has no income and is also not physically able to get out to purchase what she needs. She is being supported emotionally by the baby's father and her parents, but they do not have the means to equip a nursery. If you have ANY baby items taking up space that you would be willing to part with or can help provide any of the items listed, it would be so encouraging and greatly appreciated by them all. She is having a girl and they do have some clothes. I do not expect all of these items to be provided, but I am just throwing out ideas. Thank you so much!

A mom with a child with special needs mentioned that she was without basic clothing and personal hygiene items impacting her ability to work and provide for her family. These items would help this mom be able to provide for her family.

Grandmother took in 7 grandchildren. The family is in need of food and a fan for the house.
