Story

6 Children 1 Adult

I am reaching out to share the urgent circumstances of a single mother caring for four children. Due to an eviction, she is currently staying in a hotel and has made arrangements for her younger two children to live with their previous foster parents in Indianapolis until she can secure stable housing.

Recently, she found a three-bedroom apartment at Minerals Springs, LLC, which offers a much-needed stable environment for her family. However, they require a security deposit of $1,456 and first month’s rent of $1,456 to move in.

The service provider that is working with the family is giving the family $700. Mom stated she has $200 which gives us a total of $900 total. Unfortunately, the funds she had saved for these initial costs have been depleted, as she has been using her savings to purchase food, cover laundry expenses, transportation, and other essentials for her family. Despite these challenges, she is currently employed and able to pay rent moving forward, but she needs assistance to cover the initial move-in costs to get her foot in the door.

Any support or guidance that can be provided to help her secure this housing would be immensely appreciated. She is working hard to maintain stability for her children and simply needs a helping hand to get started.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

The family came to the departments attention after the father, who is in the Army Reserves, had a mental health episode. Since then, the mother has moved out of their family with her two children ages 1 and 2. They are now staying in the home with the maternal grandmother. After conducting a home assessment, it was brought to our attention that the mother is sharing a queen size bed with both children which is unsafe. The department does not recommend co-sleeping with children. The mother is currently looking for work to support herself and the children; however she has not found employment and finances are limited to buy beds. The father, although compliant with DCFS recommendations, is now unable to work in the Army reserves due to his mental health, and is underemployed to assist with purchasing beds for the children. Support is needed to ensure that the children have their own beds to sleep in comfortably.

Glocal provides for the physical needs for a new baby to be welcomed through a baby shower. We are currently out of the baby bath sets that include baby shampoo, baby lotion and diaper cream. Many stores sell these as a set or we can use the individual items and gift them to these moms that are usually having their first baby in the US. so far this year, Glocal has given showers or made deliveries to over 40 moms and we have 5 coming up next week. this will support us through the end of the summer.

If you also love baby and women, please reach out and let me know if you would host a shower. We gather the donations but we love for churches to love on these new moms by a small shower. We facilitate it and help with all the details. you provide the food, the friends and the place. thank you!
