We have a family who is struggling financially as the adult sister, has become the legal guardian for her younger sister. In addition, she being the legal guardian, the adult sister is a single mother who has opened her doors/home to her sister. The family is in need of a twin over twin metal bunkbed, two twin mattress and two twin comforter sets. By providing these basic necessities, it would diminish the emotional stressors on the family. By fulfilling this request, it would help the Department reduce the family's financial burden and help prevent court involvement and ensure family stability. Please note that based on the needed items, two SEPARATE REQUESTS ARE BEING MADE FOR THIS FAMILY. (One request for the twin over twin bunkbed, and the second request for two twin mattresses and the bedding)

There is a child in a kinship placement. The relative that is caring for the child, is required to complete trainings regarding the placement. The family is in need of a computer, in order get the trainings completed in a timely manner. Due to finances, the family is unable to pay for a computer at this time. By assisting this family with a computer or tablet, it will allow the family to remain united and secure the relative caring for the child to complete all tasks needed for the trainings required for the family.

I am reaching out on behalf of a family in urgent need of essential household items to help restore safety, comfort, and dignity in their daily lives. This family, which includes children 14 years old and 13 years old children, is currently transitioning out of a difficult living situation and working hard to rebuild a stable home environment. However, they are lacking some of the most basic necessities that many of us take for granted. We are requesting support to provide the following items:One mattress (twin)One bed frame A set of plastic clothing hangers Without a proper bed, restful sleep is difficult—especially for children who need it most for healthy growth and learning. A mattress and frame will give this family the chance to sleep safely and comfortably each night. In addition, clothing hangers may seem like a small item, but they help create order, maintain hygiene, and support the dignity of living in a home that feels organized and cared for. Every item provided will go directly to this family, making an immediate and tangible difference in their lives. If you are able to donate any of the items listed, or contribute towards purchasing them, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Your support—no matter the size—will have a lasting impact.

This teen is African American and needs her hair to be braided at a salon. She is wearing a bonnet because she needs her hair done which is a vital part of her heritage and cultural expression.

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.

Single mother of two was recently laid off due to her not having childcare. The mother was taken five-year-old child to work with her to continue to make ends meet.
