Story
Please help us preserve a kinship placement. Three children were placed with their adult sibling. The children are sharing a bedroom and they have bunkbed but only one top mattress. They are in need of a full size mattress for the bottom bunk. Getting this full size mattress would allow the children to have more space in the bedroom to move about and sleep comfortably and will preserve the placement as each child will have independent sleeping arrangements. The family does not have any assigned services that may assist with the purchase of the above items. The caregiver recently had to quit her long-term employment to remain home with the children and her own bio children as she needed to provided closer supervision and care. The department explored other services to assist the family with purchasing the above items, but none were available. Please help us preserve this placement.
