Story
The mother and father grew up in the foster care system. The mother was to be adopted by her foster mother until she unexpectedly died. The mother and father ended up leaving foster care and moved together and had several children. With no true adult to teach them life skills, the parents have done their best to figure out how to navigate life together. Currently, the family lives in Alabaster and have asked the Department for help to provide their children with new beds so they can sleep comfortably. The 3 children have been sharing a small bunk bed, and the caseworker has noticed that it seems worn and uncomfortable. Due to recent changes in employment, the parents have been working hard to save money, but it is difficult. The beds would provide the children with a safe, warm, comforting place to lay their heads at night. We want nothing more than for these children to remain with their loving parents and break generational cycles of involvement with DHR.
