Request: #237756 • Urgency: Critical • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Bedford • State: Virginia • Zip Code: 24523 • County: Bedford • Submitted By: VA-Bedford County DSS

Story

4 Children 2 Adults

A family of 6 is currently in emergent need of housing. The family is comprised of two grandparents caring for their four granddaughters; one of which is only a few weeks old. This family has recently been evicted from their home and have been staying in a motel while searching for housing, however, they will no longer have the funds to continue their stay past 6/17. With no housing the children are at risk of coming into foster care as they need a safe environment to reside. This risk could be resolved with the extension of the motel while the Department assists the family in finding housing.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

An 8-year-old-child is in need of support.

The caregiver of an 8 year old girl recently passed from Cancer. The child's aunt has been located and the girl will be moving in with her aunt and 6-year-old cousin. They are making space for the 8-year-old but are in need of assistance in acquiring beds for both children and a dresser for the 8-year-old as she is currently storing her clothing in trash bags and sleeping on the couch. This would be significant in reducing the strain on the family unit as they acclimate to their new family make-up and help the child feel a sense of belonging and normalcy after her current hardships.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

This request is to help a single mother of five children to make her home more comfortable for her children. Mom has had to have her air conditioning repaired, and is currently replacing a refrigerator that stopped working. Mom is in need of a bunk bed frame for two of her boys, because the frame they used to have was old and brittle, and broke. Mom is only in need of the frame and already has mattresses for the boys, but the children are currently sleeping on mattresses on the floor.

Stabilize Housing Insecurity

A blessed opportunity to help a young, Christian family make it through a very difficult time in the heat of summer. A mother and father trying to secure a roof over their young children and feed their family. Tragically, the mother just lost her baby during delivery; father had to take time off from work to take care of her. He is back working but they are behind a few paychecks.

They need help to stay in a hotel for 2 weeks while they save money to rent an apartment (the apartment isn't ready yet). They could also use help with essentials and food.

If we can help them now, it will stabilize their income and resources for the future.

Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

We currently are fostering 3 children and want to continue to make their experience meaningful. We have a 12 year old girl who could use some basketball shoes (size 7.5) and probably extra socks. We also have a sibling set ( girl 2, boy 1) who could use some pajamas. She wears 3T and he’s in 18month. Diapers and wipes are always needed. Thank you so much!
