Request: #237290 • Urgency: High • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Los Angeles • State: California • Zip Code: 90043 • County: Los Angeles • Submitted By: DCFS-LA Wateridge • Lead Church: Good News Missionary Baptist Church

Story

•
2 Children 1 Adult

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)

Young woman is experiencing deep loss and grief due to a death in her life. She is responsible to store items and is not yet ready to fully part with the items. During this time she has not been able to get to work and so funding this practical need for her will be a huge blessing to help her get ahead.

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.
