Story

•
1 Child 2 Adults

Caregiver is 67 years old and recently retired. She is caring for a 13 girl and has had her since she was 8 months old. When she was working she did not need financial assistance however now that she is no longer working she is in need of some help with a dresser for the adolescent girl. Sometimes the child's twin brother comes to visit. Caregiver does not receive any funding nor has DCFS ever been involved. Child is doing well in school. This was an informal agreement between the parent and caregiver. We have referred the family to the Foster Children's Resource Center for clothing. Caregiver is surviving on her Social Security and food stamps. Caregiver has a car but rarely uses it due to not having money for gas so if we could help with a GAS Card it would be a great relief to them as they try to walk everywhere and now it is getting very hot. The family could also use some new bedding. Caregiver and the child sleep on twin size bunk beds and both are in need of bedding. Their small apt has no air conditioning so if we could provide them with a portable a/c unit it would be amazing.

Support an Expecting Mom and Her Unborn Baby

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!
