Recently the youth (NMD) was able to secure independent housing. The youth moved into his own 1-bedroom unit, but he does not have any furniture in the home. Currently the youth is assisted with funding to pay rent $1,200, which is all the funding he is receiving for housing. Although the youth work, he also has other expenses, such as his car, utility bills, groceries etc. As a result, the youth is requesting support to purchase, a queen size bedframe and mattress, a desk, a dresser, nightstand and lamp, and a mobile kitchen counter and electric cook top.

The furniture is essential for the youth as it supports their physical development, learning and overall well-being. A study desk would provide a dedicated space for homework, reading, and other learning activities, promoting focus and productivity. Having their own furniture would allow the youth to personalize their space, fostering a sense of ownership and independence.

Gift cards for the youth to purchase basic needs: IKEA : $900 Target: $ 600

The family came to the departments attention after the father, who is in the Army Reserves, had a mental health episode. Since then, the mother has moved out of their family with her two children ages 1 and 2. They are now staying in the home with the maternal grandmother. After conducting a home assessment, it was brought to our attention that the mother is sharing a queen size bed with both children which is unsafe. The department does not recommend co-sleeping with children. The mother is currently looking for work to support herself and the children; however she has not found employment and finances are limited to buy beds. The father, although compliant with DCFS recommendations, is now unable to work in the Army reserves due to his mental health, and is underemployed to assist with purchasing beds for the children. Support is needed to ensure that the children have their own beds to sleep in comfortably.

Glocal provides for the physical needs for a new baby to be welcomed through a baby shower. We are currently out of the baby bath sets that include baby shampoo, baby lotion and diaper cream. Many stores sell these as a set or we can use the individual items and gift them to these moms that are usually having their first baby in the US. so far this year, Glocal has given showers or made deliveries to over 40 moms and we have 5 coming up next week. this will support us through the end of the summer.

If you also love baby and women, please reach out and let me know if you would host a shower. We gather the donations but we love for churches to love on these new moms by a small shower. We facilitate it and help with all the details. you provide the food, the friends and the place. thank you!
