Story
The family came to the attention of DCFS due to mother giving birth and as she arrived at Hospital the baby hit his head on the concrete and was unresponsive. Baby has made progress but parents have 4 other children who were also removed due to substance concerns. They are all placed with grandparents. The parents live in Pomona and are trying to reunify with the children. However, they have a 2011 Chevy Tahoe that needs repairs. The car needs - engine mount $211, Radiator $313.99, and Transmission Flywheel $155.99. (AutoZone prices) Father reported that he and his father are able to do the repairs but are unable to buy the parts. Only mother is employed , as father reports being undocumented/ and having an accident 2 years ago, is not able to work. Mother has completed 52 weeks parenting and DV program. Father is enrolled in his programs substance abuse, anger mgmt, therapy and parenting. They visit the children consistently in Norwalk but having reliable transportation would support them in their reunification process with visits and attending testing's and court ordered programs. This family would greatly appreciated any financial assistance given for their car repair needs even if it is some of the expenses for the car parts.
