The referred family is requesting assistance obtaining a stroller, dresser, and sway swing for the child. The child was placed with maternal Grand Father and his partner. Foster family is a single income household. MGF supports his wife, and young son, as well as supporting the needs of the 6-week old foster child. RFA license is pending. MGF and his wife are new foster parents and are tackling many of the foster child’s needs that come up. However, the family needs assistance in accessing a stroller, a dresser drawer, and a sway swing. Mother and father struggle with substance abuse, domestic violence, unaddressed mental health issues, and homelessness. These barriers led to the Department detaining the newborn baby from parents due to neglect. The family would appreciate any help and want to explore all the options to make their child as comfortable as possible at home.

We are requesting support for a hardworking single mother who is doing everything she can to rebuild stability for herself and her young child. After experiencing a period of homelessness in which they lost all of their belongings, the family has recently secured housing with the help of a local women’s shelter. While this has been a major and hopeful step forward, the home remains largely unfurnished, and many daily essentials are still missing. Although the mother works full-time and has reached out to various local and community agencies, her income is stretched thin just covering basic living expenses. She simply does not have the financial means to purchase the household items that would make their space truly livable and comfortable. This family would greatly benefit from assistance with the following items: a dresser for the baby’s room, a stackable washer and dryer, rugs for each room (three total), a dresser for the master bedroom, a TV for the living room, a toy bin organizer for the baby’s room, bathroom shelving or storage, a coffee table and end table, a vacuum cleaner, a new or gently used couch (as the current one is broken), a blender, and a set of pots, pans, baking dishes, and drinking glasses.

Your support in meeting these needs would make a significant difference in this family’s day-to-day life, bringing comfort, functionality, and dignity into their home as they continue to move forward.
