Request: #241204 • Urgency: Critical • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Saranac • State: Michigan • Zip Code: 49428 • County: Ottawa • Submitted By: Jenison Public Schools

Story

3 Children 1 Adult

This request is to support the transportation needs of a mother with three children. This is an urgent one-time financial request to support their mother with obtaining her car from repossession, which will allow her to continue her job and the children to continue to attend daycare while their mom works.

She has made arrangements and a financial plan with her lender and needs to get her account current in the next 2 days in order to prevent it from going to auction. This is an incredibly hard working single parent who works full-time and cares so well for her children's needs. The kids attend a daycare center in Jenison while their mom is at work. She fell behind with her car payments due to paying for summer daycare for three children. Even with DHHS childcare assistance, she still has additional payments that she must make for daycare as well as the rest of their daily expenses. She thought that she had more time to catch up with her car payments and learned today of the time urgency.

A Western Union transaction is needed to make this payment directly to the lender as a third party. This one time financial relief would make all of the difference for this family. This mom has successfully navigated many challenging situations and will be responsible in managing her finances with this support. More information will be shared if filling the need, including the lender's number to call to assist with payment.

Thank you for considering this request.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

This family includes four children ranging in age from newborn, 1 year old, 8 years old and 9 years old. While the baby has a crib to sleep in, the parents and other 3 children sleep on an old queen size mattress on the floor. They have a bunk bed frame for the two older children, but no mattresses. The family is experiencing financial hardship and cannot afford to purchase the mattresses themselves.

We are requesting 2 new twin size mattresses, as well as bedding for the beds (sheets, pillows and blankets), and face/body towels.

Adequate sleeping arrangements and proper sleep are essential for a healthy lifestyle. Filling this request will help improve the children's safety and well being and reduce stress and anxiety on the whole family.

Help Make a Kinship Placement

KINSHIP. A caregiver currently undergoing the Resource Family Approval (RFA) process needs assistance with purchasing a refrigerator for the home. The caregiver has two children of her own and is preparing to take in four additional children. Currently, she is not receiving any financial support for the children. Assistance with securing a refrigerator would help ease the financial burden and allow the family to have this essential appliance. This will also ensure a safe and stable home for the children. Currently, the kin caregiver receives financial support from the government. She is currently receiving cash aid and Cal Fresh. The caregiver is committed to providing both financial and emotional support for the children by utilizing available community resources and continuing to receive assistance through cash aid. As this is her first time serving as a caregiver—especially to four children—she simply needs a helping hand to get started. Once she obtains the refrigerator, she will be able to redirect her limited resources toward other essential needs, including food and clothing for the children.
