Story

6 Children 1 Adult

We have an 80yr old Grandmother, already living on limited means in a 1 bedroom condo within a senior community that has stepped forward to care for her 6 grandchildren. Their mother tragically died of an overdose in 2019 and just yesterday, their father also overdosed, this time in front of his children. This family is facing unimaginable trauma and immediate displacement. Given the grandmothers current living situation it is neither safe nor suitable for the children to remain in her home. They urgently require a double attached hotel room. Our organization is prepared to contribute $1000 toward the $2000 total cost for temporary housing. DCF has requested a 2 week window to locate more suitable long term placement. Today is also the birthday of the 7 yr old twins who are spending what should be a Joyful day grappling with loss and uncertainty as to what's next. Any assistance you can give will be greatly appreciated.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

I am requesting grocery assistance for a family consisting of a mother, her 16-year-old child, and her 10-Month-old grandchild. The mother is currently the sole provider for the household and is working to meet all of the family’s basic needs on her own. Despite her efforts, the family is experiencing difficulty affording enough groceries to ensure everyone has adequate and nutritious food. Providing this support will help stabilize the family’s food situation and promote the children’s overall well-being.
