Request: #236716 • Urgency: High • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Los Angeles • State: California • Zip Code: 90011 • County: Los Angeles • Submitted By: DCFS-LA Wateridge

Story

•
5 Children 2 Adults

We are currently working with a dedicated mother and father who are raising five children, ages 7, 8, 10, 13, and 14. The Department is actively supporting the family as they address an ongoing hair lice outbreak. One significant barrier to fully resolving the issue is the family’s inability to afford new bedding, which is essential to prevent re-infestation and maintain a clean and healthy home environment.

The family is facing financial hardship, and the father, who is undocumented, has limited income opportunities. Despite these challenges, both parents have shown commendable effort and cooperation in managing the situation. The children are doing well academically and socially, and the family is fully receptive to the Department’s assistance.

To support this family in eradicating the outbreak and promoting a safe and sanitary living space, we are requesting the following items: • 3 full-size mattresses • 2 full-size comforter sets (2 set black and grey) 1 full-size comforter set (Princess theme) • 8 pillows

Any assistance or support in providing these essentials would make a significant difference in helping this family move forward in a healthy and stable environment.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

Three children, currently sleep on air mattresses. The mattresses become deflated often and the children end up on the floor by morning time, disrupting their sleep when they have to be well rested for school. Mother has made attempts to patch the holes and at times has had to purchase new air mattresses as they are more affordable than purchasing and actual mattress and bed. The mother is a single parent and is currently not working as she is trying to stabilize her children's lives. The mother is trying to enroll in school to be able to start a career and get a better job to provide for her children. The mother is looking to go back to work, but she has to find a new location as the father continues to look for the mother and there is a restraining order.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

This family we have helped before. She was removed from an abusive home and moved into Covington with her children and has struggled to make ends meet. Her apartment is now asking her to leave, but she has secured a place in Clifton but needs help moving some things to her new place. She has 2 children and has a very hard medical diagnosis that has been keeping her bills high. She will need a truck or trailer to haul some things. I have this valued at $10 because it's not really a monetary need. She has also requested to have someone sit with her to help her work out her financial budget. She is really doing her hardest to take care of her family.
