Story
Mother is receiving family reunification services through the Department of Children and Family Services. Mother has made substantial progress in addressing case issues and has complied with the DCFS and Court ordered treatment plan. The court has granted mother overnight visits with her children, ages 12 and 14. However, mother does not have adequate housing nor the resources to secure alternate housing to provide for her children so that she may start her overnight weekend visits. Some LA County Regional Parks will be hosting overnight family camping during the months of July and August of 2025. The children’s overnight visit with their mother at the campsite would allow mother to demonstrate her ability to safely care for her children while in her care. Mother is currently undocumented and does not have steady employment to purchase the much needed camp gear. Any support towards the family’s camp gear would be tremendously helpful and appreciated by the family. The family needs 1 tent to accommodate mother and her two children, 3 sleeping bags, and 3 pillows and a flashlight. The mother is asking if anyone can provide her and her children with these items.
