I’m reaching out about a young mother on my caseload who is doing exceptionally well—she’s meeting all her case goals and there are no current concerns.

She is in need of a computer to support her ability to work from home, as well as a stroller for her child. Any assistance you can provide with these items would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for your continued support!

A dedicated mother is on the brink of reunification after five long years of separation from her children. Two of the siblings have remained together in foster care during this time, while the others have been in a variety of placements—separated from their siblings and mother.

Now, after securing stable housing and meeting the requirements set by the child welfare system, she is ready to bring three of her children home. There’s just one major barrier left: furnishing the home.

Currently, there are no beds for the children. Until basic furniture is in place—especially beds—the reunification process cannot move forward.

I am a Samaritas Child and Family staff member currently working with a young mom and her two Autistic/Nonverbal children. This mother recently moved from a Domestic Violence Shelter into her own apartment. She is lacking a kitchen table and chairs. As of now, the family is eating at the small kid's table but would appreciate assistance with purchasing a table and 4 chairs to improve the livability of the home. This would be appreciated and would be found to be very helpful! Sincerely, Samaritas Staff.

I am a staff member at Samaritas Child and Family Services currently working with a young mom and her two Autistic/Nonverbal children. She recently moved from a Domestic Violence shelter to her own apartment. The living area of the apartment is on the second floor. When you enter her apartment, there is a flight of stairs to climb to enter the living area. To prevent the children from falling down the stairs, the mother is requesting a child proof baby gate she located on amazon for 69.99 plus tax. She would greatly appreciate the assistance with this safety item. Sincerely, Samaritas staff.

A mother and her two young daughters (ages 3 and 6 months) recently relocated to Collin County for safety reasons and are currently living in their car. Mom has secured a job and childcare but urgently needs gas assistance to get to work and daycare each day. Supporting this need will help the family maintain stability and move closer to permanent housing. Any help with gas cards or fuel support would be greatly appreciated.
