Request: #233900 • Urgency: High • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: San Antonio • State: Texas • Zip Code: 78239 • County: Bexar • Submitted By: Texas Grandparents Raising Grandchildren • Lead Church: Care For Every Child SATX

Story

•
5 Children 2 Adults

We have a 60 year old grandmother who is asking for a used refrigerator to help store the families food and medications. The grandmother is diabetic and take 3 forms of insulin, one type 4 times a day, one type at night, and the last for once a week. The medications that are stored take up most if not all the door space used for storage. This grandmother is trying to raise 5 grandkids, 3 girls ages 10,11, and 13, as well as 2 boys ages 4 and 9. She get no support from the biological parents and receives no child support for the kids as well. This would help save on food and medicine waste since she would have a p[lace to store all her needs without worry as to whether the items would spoil, especially as we enter the hot summer months.

Help Reunify a Bio Family

I'm reaching out on behalf of a mother who is working hard to create a safe and nurturing home for her young child. She is in need of a few essential items to help furnish her space and support her child's development. Specifically, she is looking for a toddler bed, a small dresser, a kid-sized table and chairs set (for meals and activities). If you have any of these items gently used and or new at no cost to the mother, your generosity would mean a great deal to this family. Transportation is needed for these items. Thank you for your support and kindness!

Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

Single foster parent (female) moved into an apartment to provide a more livable and healthier environment for the foster child, her nephew. She stated the 6-year-old male has a cot like bed on a frame that doesn't fit. She has used most of her resources for the move. (We all know how expensive it is to move!) She is requesting a twin mattress and bed frame along with bedding. (He likes dinosaurs and leggos.) This child has been through a lot and here is an easy way to express love and care. Having his own bed and bedding will make him feel cared for and loved. Twin comforter sets include the sheets.

A bio mother is in need of financial assistance to pay for a housing application of $50. This mother is needing to move out of her current apartment and wants to be able to reside in a neighborhood that is closer to her children's current placement and in a safer neighborhood so that she can see them more often and have a safe home for them to reunify with her in. This mother currently struggles to see her children as frequently as she was previously due to transportation issues.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A father at Point Church has recently regained custody of his three children and could use some clothing items for them. He is in need of a few shirts, a few pairs of shorts, a pair of pajamas, a few pairs of socks and underwear, and a pair of shoes for his 5-year-old daughter (clothing size 5-6, shoe size 11-13), 7-year-old daughter (clothing size 8-10, underwear size 10-12, shoe size 12-13), and 10-year-old son (clothing size 14, shoe size 5). Secondhand clothing in good condition is fine. It would be a blessing for them to have these items by July 11.

Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

We have been connected to a family who is fostering through DHHS. This foster family has placement of 3 little children (ages from 4-8) that they are in the process of adopting. They had their washing machine and air conditioning break down in the same week and only had the funds to replace one, so they prioritized the air conditioning for the summer heat wave we had this past week. The family had a high capacity 5.3 cu-ft top-load washing machine to be able to meet with laundry demands of their family and would like their replacement to have a similar capacity and similarly top-loading. The youngest child has some higher needs and frequently wets the bed which requires regular use of a washing machine for larger bedding items. The family consulted a technician who reported the costs of the repair for the washing machine would be at least $800 and the technician recommended buying a new one over paying for repairs. The listed cost is for a 5.3 cu-ft top-load with delivery from Lowe's.

The family would like to rent a U-haul to transport their household to their new location.A quote for the U-haul has been acquired and totals: $1,375.97 Gift cards to Walmart or Amazon ($300) would also be helpful in setting up their new home once they arrive.
