Story
I am writing on behalf of a kinship family in Philo, Ohio (Muskingum County). She and her husband have custody of a non-relative child that just turned 16. They also have their own two biological children in the home. Their refrigerator is not working well. With the added cost of trying to supply the kinship child with a vehicle, they are struggling to buy a refrigerator. They are just looking for one that works well, not necessarily a new one. The family has checked with several area resources, including ReStores, Goodwill, and local ministries. So far, they have not had success finding a refrigerator. This family is working very hard to give their kinship child a good start. He will attend the local vocational school in the fall and will need to drive there. He is excited about the possibility of finding employment as he transitions from high school to the work force. If they could get assistance with a refrigerator, this will free up funds they need to support this child's future. We appreciate your consideration.
