Story

1 Child

Hello, I am requesting assistance with paying for band shoes for a 14-year-old male who participates in band at Cape Central High School. The youth is a freshman this year and plays the sousaphone and has participated in band since Junior High School. This youth is on a trial home visit with his mom and her boyfriend. The trial home visit is going well. The parents are trying to manage bills and needs for their 4 children. During a home visit with the family yesterday, the mother explained she forgot about the need to order her 14-year-old son's band shoes which need to be ordered by 7/11/25 through Shivelbine's Music Store in Cape. There is no leftover money at this time as all bills have been paid. I called Shivelbine's and spoke with Maddie this morning and the cost of the shoes are $51.16 after tax. The youth wears a size 9 shoe. The youth must have his shoes by 7/28/25. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

We have a young mother in a local church who has been struggling to find employment and has just given birth to a little baby boy. She is in need of an infant car seat. Keeping this child safe and the family together is the priority. I think preferably a grow and go all in one option would be great.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

My client is a mom of three kiddos. Her youngest is 10 months and is starting to want to walk. He is getting into everything and mom is not able to multi task like she would want to as she has to make sure he is safe. Mom is needing a baby gate to prevent her 10 month old from getting into the kitchen and messing with items he should not be. The size of the baby gate needed would be 40 inches wide at its max. Mom just needs one as her unit is small and the kitchen is the main place that she wants to keep him out of. Preferably the baby gate should not screw into the wall since client is in a rental unit.

An example for an adjustable baby gate is: Go To Link
