Story

5 Children 2 Adults

A hard working family of seven, consisting of a mother (43 yrs old), father (56 yrs old), and five minor children (ages 17, 15, 13, 11, and 6), currently resides in a two-bedroom apartment. The father, who is the sole provider, works two jobs, while the mother stays home to care for the children due to her undocumented status, which prevents her from securing stable employment. Occasionally, the mother takes on housekeeping jobs to supplement the family’s income. The family is experiencing significant financial hardship due to the inconsistent nature of the father’s work as a gardener. As a result, they are only able to meet some of their basic necessities. The eldest child is actively seeking employment to help with household expenses. Currently, the family receives rental and utilities assistance from The Help Group’s Prevention and Aftercare Program and is enrolled in CalFresh to supplement their food budget. They are also participating in psychotherapy to enhance their emotional well-being and stability. The 15-year-old child has outgrown her child-sized bed, and the family could really benefit from a twin-size bed and mattress. The child's birthday is also coming up in August and she has expressed a wish to have a larger bed.

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
