Story
The family consists of a single mother with five children, ages 15 (F), 10 (F), 7 (F), 5 (M), and 4 (F). They recently moved into a new apartment in February 2025, but shortly after, the mother lost her job. Although she has since secured new employment, the family continues to face significant financial hardship. Currently, the home is unfurnished, with only a few basic kitchen items. The mother and all five children are sleeping on air mattresses with throw blankets and no sheets. The lack of proper bedding is impacting the children’s ability to get restful sleep, which in turn affects their health, well-being, and performance at school. We are requesting mattresses for the family to help provide a safe and comfortable sleeping environment. This support would allow the children to rest properly, focus better in school, and improve their overall quality of life. It would also bring stability and comfort to the mother, who continues to work hard to care for her children.
