Story

•
4 Children 1 Adult

I am writing on behalf of a client who is in urgent need of rental assistance due to a recent and critical medical emergency. She recently gave birth to a premature infant who is currently hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The mother travels approximately 40 minutes each way to be by her newborn’s side daily, as she is committed to nursing and pumping to support the baby’s health and development. In addition to caring for her hospitalized infant, she is also the primary caregiver to her three young children at home. The emotional, physical, and financial toll of this situation has made it impossible for her to return to work at this time, and she has fallen behind on her rent. Without immediate rental assistance, this mother and her children are at risk of losing their housing. This would not only destabilize the family, but it would also severely impact her ability to remain present for her infant in the NICU, potentially disrupting the baby's recovery and bonding process. She is doing everything in her power to care for her family under extremely difficult circumstances. Your support at this time could make the difference between stability and crisis for this family.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

This case was brought to the department following concerns of unsanitary living conditions at the fathers home. The children are now living with their mother in the City of Charlottesville, however, the families goal is to have the fathers home cleaned up so the oldest child can return home with her father. The family is in need of financial assistance, as they have been having issues with their cars and need extra money for repairs. To help offset the cost of those repairs, we are requesting clothing for 2 of the children, which would be helpful as they need new clothes for the summer and before school begins. The oldest is 16 and wears women's size 14-16. The other child is 10 and wears a youth size 12-14.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

The child on this has been in the care of the godmother and the mother will not help. The mother does not provide any help or necessities for this child and leaved the 24-yr old godmother to fend for herself. The godmother's family helps as much as they can but that also only goes so far. This child barely knows the mother and the godmother is doing the best she can and just needs a little help. The car seat will allow for the godmother to safely transport the child.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

I am currently working with a mom of two who is trying to make ends meet for her two children. She is in dire need of gas cards to continue working to make money. She is desperately trying to save money to go toward moving out of her mom's home where they are currently experiencing unsafe living conditions. Mom is doing everything in her power to keep her babies safe and healthy, but is growing tired as she continues to run into barriers. After speaking with mom, I can tell that while she is tired, but she is not losing the motivation to do what is best for her babies and doesn't plan to quit anytime soon. Mom could really use the help to continue making progress toward saving money to move out and continue her employment with gas money. She could also use help getting clothing and shoes for her and her two children.

Both children wear a size 7/8 8-10 for clothing and wear a size 1-2 in shoes.

The car is essential for this family as mom drives the child to work and the mother has significant health concerns and needs the car to get to her appointments. She is on disability so she does not have much income to work with.  Mom has advised me that she could get a new to her hood and windshield from the junk yard for around $520.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

The family needs assistance with paying for their hotel stay. The landlord has disconnected utilities during the heat wave, making it difficult for the mother to provide a suitable environment for her and her two children. Additionally, she requires help with purchasing and obtaining food for them. The family has recently moved from another State, and the mother's food stamps are currently being cut off there, leaving her without any food assistance this month. The mother will greatly appreciate any assistance to assist with providing for her children and a place to stay.

Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

We currently are fostering 3 children and want to continue to make their experience meaningful. We have a 12 year old girl who could use some basketball shoes (size 7.5) and probably extra socks. We also have a sibling set ( girl 2, boy 1) who could use some pajamas. She wears 3T and he’s in 18month. Diapers and wipes are always needed. Thank you so much!
