Story

•
4 Children

A single, working mom with 4 children (ages 8, 6, & 4 years old plus a 1-year-old foster child through kinship care) is looking for some support to celebrate two of her children's birthdays. The two youngest children attend The Playing Field's Midtown location as part of the Reach Dane Head Start partnership. A resource Reach Dane has typically connected families with to fulfill this need called Box of Balloons is ending June 30th. This resource provided each family with cupcakes, balloons/decorations, themed plates and cups, and a birthday present for each child. The soon to be 5-year-old is hoping for an Incredibles-themed birthday celebration and present. The soon to be 7-year-old is hoping for a Barbie-themed birthday celebration and present. The birthdays are at the beginning of July.

My team is considering taking the lead, but they had a question first. Does the mom want to go shopping for these items (with folks from our response team) our is it easier for her if someone else does the shopping?
