Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

I’m reaching out on behalf of a single mother who is currently going through a very challenging time. She recently lost her job and is now without a source of income. While the family is working to receive some assistance from community partners to address basic financial needs, one important and immediate area of need remains unmet: clothing for her 9-year-old daughter.

As the child continues to grow, she is in need of properly fitting clothes that will allow her to feel confident, comfortable, and supported, both physically and emotionally. Having access to clothing that fits well will not only help her participate more fully in daily activities and social interactions but also help promote her sense of dignity and well-being during a period of uncertainty.

Here are her current sizes:

Tops: Adult Medium

Pants: Junior size 18 or Adult Medium

Shoes: Women’s size 8 or Big Kid size 7.5 (Boys)

Undergarments: Training bra or Women’s Medium sports bra; Panties size 8

Any support whether new or gently used clothing would be deeply appreciated and would make a meaningful difference in this young girl’s life. Your kindness can help ease a burden and bring a sense of normalcy and care during this family’s time of transition and the upcoming school year.
