Story

1 Child 1 Adult

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.
