Story
This is a second request on behalf of a young adult in our program who is also a former foster youth. Nearly two years ago, she took custody of her sister’s baby directly from the hospital. Just a few days ago, her sister gave birth again—and she now has custody of that newborn as well.
We submitted an emergency request a couple of weeks ago to ensure she had a car seat to bring the new baby home safely. Now that she has the baby with her, she’s been able to reflect on additional needs and has requested a stroller. This would be especially helpful, as she does not have a vehicle and relies on walking and public transportation to get around.
Additionally, she was recently involved in a car accident, which has prevented her from working and created further financial strain. Any support in helping her meet this immediate need would be greatly appreciated.
