Request: #239483 • Urgency: High • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Wilmington • State: Delaware • Zip Code: 19805 • County: New Castle • Submitted By: Children's Choice of Delaware

Story

•
4 Children 2 Adults

A thirteen-year-old girl needs a window/portable AC Unit for her bedroom. Her bedroom is the only room in the home that does not have access to air conditioning, nor does it have a window/portable unit to help cool her room during extremely hot days. She was not able to sleep or spend any time in her own bedroom during the recent heat wave that had temperatures over 100 degrees for multiple days. An A/C unit would allow her to be able to safely sleep or spend time, generally, in her own bedroom.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A family of five was recently displaced after their rental home caught fire. The family did not have rental insurance and lost all their belongings. They are currently staying in a hotel while they seek to secure a new apartment. Although they receive SNAP benefits, these cannot be replaced due to the inability to obtain an incident report from the landlord. The family is experiencing financial hardship due to hotel expenses and has been visiting food pantries for assistance. They are in need of meat and would appreciate a grocery gift card to purchase some until their July SNAP benefits are available on their benefits card.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

We are currently supporting a teenager residing in a group home due to being sheltered from his parents. Since entering care, our team has ensured that he is up to date with all medical and dental needs, including the prescription of eyeglasses that significantly aid him in his daily activities. Unfortunately, as is common with teenagers, he has misplaced both pairs of eyeglasses, and the group home staff has been unable to locate them. Although we have obtained a new prescription, Medicaid will not cover the cost of the replacement glasses. We are seeking assistance to raise $89 to purchase a new pair for this child, and any support would be greatly appreciated.
