Request: #237601 • Urgency: Normal • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Fort Edward • State: New York • Zip Code: 12828 • County: Washington • Submitted By: Washington County Department of Social Services • Lead Church: Northway Christian Family Church

Story

7 Children 2 Adults

To whom it may concern, I am making this request in efforts to assist a mother and father who have 7 children. The family was recently placed in motel through Washington County DSS due to unsafe living conditions at their prior residence. The family has since secured stable housing and have moved into a new place; however, they now have limited furniture due to being forced to vacate their prior residence in a hurry. The family has received 6 new twin mattresses for the older children, however they are in need of bunk bed frames to get the mattresses up off the floor. The youngest child is 4 months and has appropriate sleeping arrangements. The family struggles financially and cannot afford to purchase bunk bed frames at this time.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

We have a mother with seven children ages 16, 15, 13. 12 , 8, 4 and 3 is need of some help from the community. The family has a limited income. The mother helps the elderly who cannot afford care the community, but has been struggling with bed bugs for over a year. She has made her own bed frames for the children. The children’s fathers are not helping the mother. She recently left a domestic violence relationship and she has been residing with her father. Her father (the children’s grandfather) is in remission from cancer, but this has not stopped him from helping those in the community (elderly and on a limited income) and he continues to cut their grass weekly free of charge.

The mother is asking for help with the following items: • New Beds for the children and bed bug covers

Any help would be wonderful for this family who also gives back to the community themselves. The mother does not have many supports and is willing to accept help that would be given.

Help Support a Youth Aging Out

We have a young man that has been through a lot in the past two years he has been in care. He has made some poor choices and he's made some wonderful choices along the way. Right now he has decided that once he ages out, he would like to join the military and he feels that the best path for him from here to there is to attend Thunderbird Academy. He impressed everyone at his interview and has been accepted for admission and he will begin attending on July 20. Thunderbird has provided us with an extensive and extremely specific list of clothing items and supplies that he will need to bring with him. Any help that can be provided in obtaining these items for him would be incredibly appreciated. I can provide details to anyone interested. Thank you so much!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A single mom, of a beautiful little 4 year old girl is in need of help. She was in our program, after being homeless for a year, living in her car and after a year at SFTSM, she graduated October, 2024. Apartment rent is high, at $1,800 and her FoodShare and medical has been denied, stating that she makes too much money, even though her paychecks barely cover her rent. She worked on earning her GED while at SFTSM, but was a math test short before she moved out...she didn't forget her goal and as of last week is a GED holder! She did it! At 26 years old, while holding down a full-time job and raising a beautiful and smart little mini-her. Her biggest win, was while at SFTSM, she found Jesus and accepted Him into her life, being baptized! She only needs a little help. She's behind on rent, because of food costs, so help with food. She recently asked for a desk, so she could study not only her Bible, but for the ASVAB, as it's her lifelong goal to enter the military, we supplied her the desk, but she's in need of a computer chair and then some help with gas. Link for the ASVAB book:Go To Link Groceries- Walmart or Woodmans gift cards would be great!
