Story

7 Children 2 Adults

A family in need of various items. 5 children were displaced from their home and placed with grandparents. The grandparents are in need of a bunk bed. There is also a newborn child is also in need of various help with blankets and other essential items. The grandparents are doing their best to help provide for all 5 children and also having custody of their other 2 grandchildren. Due to the unforeseen placement they need help with this bunk bed to allow room for all 7 children. In order for these children to remain with their grandparents they will need appropriate beds. There is also a 6 year old non-verbal autistic child they is in need of a communication tablet that would help with his speech and communication with his needs. The agency is providing diapers and formula monthly to the family in this time of need to help support. We want these siblings to remain together in a loving safe home with their grandparents. The grandparents have found a van that would better utilize the family and are in need of $600 to secure this van as one of the cars broke down and this would allow the grandparents to travel together in one car.

The parents are in an inpatient treatment to be able to provide a safe and sober life for their children. Any help for this family would be greatly appreciated and the family thanks you in advance.

Support an Expecting Mom and Her Unborn Baby

I am currently working with a young, hard-working, pregnant mother of 1 who is about to lose all of her personal belongings This sweet mom unfortunately lost all 3 of her jobs and got evicted all within the span of a month earlier this summer. Nonetheless, against all odds, this mother has continued to make a way for herself and her daughter without any employment while also working to finish school. This mother has thankfully finally obtained a job, however, unfortunately her start date is not until next month and her storage unit payment is already past due. Everything this mom owns of hers and her daughters is in this storage unit and losing this would set her back so much further, as she cannot afford to buy more clothes, furniture etc. at this time. This mother is working so diligently to get back on her feet and to bring stability back to her daughter's life and just needs a little help until she obtains her first paycheck. Any little bit helps so that this mom does not lose all that she owns in an already overwhelmingly trying season. Thank you for your time.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

Client has recently given birth to a preemie daughter. She is home and healthy. However, the mother has expressed that she is currently in need of a few essential items to help support her, particularly given the specific needs that come with caring for a premature infant. The first item she has requested is a nursing pillow, which would assist her in comfortably and effectively feeding her daughter during frequent feedings. Mom is also in need of a wearable baby carrier (moby, boba, etc). Having a wearable carrier will allow her to keep her baby close while freeing up her hands for other tasks. Any brand is fine as long as it can be used for a preemie. Items can be gently used or new.
