Story

1 Child 2 Adults

A youth I am working with is in need of a laptop of his own. His preference is a refurbished Mac Book but he is grateful for anything that allows him to connect to the Internet and has video/virtual capabilities so he can participate in virtual family therapy sessions with his mom.

The one he sent me through Amazon is linked here: Go To Link

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

Current Emergency Response Social Worker met with the family and found mother and child recently arrived to the US and began living with strangers who took them in off the streets. The environment with this new family was not helpful for child’s fragile mental health, as she was already experienced sexual abuse and physical abuse and witnessed severe domestic violence between mother and father. Over the course of the week, mother was able to rent a new room in LA 90001 to help alleviate some stress and anxiety for her child. The purpose of this urgent request is to assist mother in furnishing her new room as she does not have adequate items for herself or her child. Mother can benefit from (1) twin bed for child, (1) small or slim refrigerator for food storage, (1) 4-5 drawer dresser, (1) single burner stove with small propane tanks, (1) microwave, (1) small table, (2) chairs for sitting, (1) gift card for food, (1) gift card for Walmart/Target for toiletries, utensils, and other needed items for day to day living.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

Social worker was made aware that caregiver’s refrigerator just went out and to be able to meet the needs of the family. The youth is placed with paternal aunt and although parental rights have terminated, this placement supports the youth’s ability to maintain placement and permanency with family. This caregiver stepped in to support the youth during a time in which she was having several replacements and behavioral challenges. Placement with paternal aunt appeared to help stabilize the youth and she has been doing well in her care since 10/2024. The necessity of the refrigerator is essential as it not only provides food storage for our youth in the home, but also provides it for her family. If the family is able to obtain a refrigerator it will provide financial relief to caregiver as she will not need to utilize a large portion of the family’s funds for this necessary home item. Caregiver appreciates that the Department is willing to advocate of their behalf and request that a refrigerator be provided to the family

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

ASAP URGENT NEED: A loving family is facing an immediate crisis and desperately needs our help. A mother and her three young children have been abandoned and are now facing eviction from their home by July 11th. They have no other options and are in urgent need of assistance.

They are seeking help with a U-Haul and movers to facilitate their move tomorrow, July 10th. While the mother is working, her income, particularly during the summer when school is out, is not enough to cover these unexpected and critical expenses.

Any support you can offer to this beautiful family during this incredibly difficult time would be profoundly appreciated.

Help Preserve a Kinship Placement

The youth is currently placed in the home of a non-related extended family member, where he feels welcome and supported. The caregiver has taken in this youth to prevent him from going into foster care, as the youth has experienced multiple losses. The youth is in need of a portable air conditioner for the room he is currently staying in. The apartment does not have central A/C and only has a single unit in the living area. CSW has seen caregiver provide the youth with emotional stability, genuine interest in the youth’s academic success, and providing for his basic necessities. The caregiver has been able to provide for the basic needs of the youth, but this unexpected expense for an air conditioner is difficult for the sole provider of the home. The main reason I am requesting this need to be fulfilled is because it will allow the youth to be comfortable in the home during these hot summer days, it also reduces the stress for the caregiver in having to provide this item are caregiver’s finances are strained. Due to the location of the apartment within the building they are not allowed to have a window-unit AC and are requesting a portable one to vent at the window. DCFS does not provide this item. The estimated cost of the portable air conditioner being requested is around $300, some links are provided as well.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

Please help a young mother who is recently homeless and now living in a motel with her three children, all under age 3.

The family was reported to Human Services because they continually missed medical appointments, and now we are trying to help improve their situation by meeting basic and urgent needs. The mother has no transportation, no food for the children, no storage for her belongings, and no way to wash clothes. The family is awaiting placement in a shelter (they have pending applications at 3 shelters). To stay in the hotel a few more days, the mother needs $90 per night.

Her youngest child is an 8-month old who was born premature; the child has significant weight loss and a developmental delay related to lack of nutrition. the child needs Similac Neosure Formula (yellow can) to be able to eat, a Pack and Play for safe sleep, and a stroller so the mother can take them to medical appointments and find other resources.

Additionally, this family could greatly benefit from food for the children, hotel vouchers, and long-term housing.

Thank you for your support!
