Story
Cherokee County DFCS seeks assistance for a family in need of cleaning supplies, an exterminator or funds to help cover a professional cleaning. The condition of the home is not suitable for children at this time. We have a single mother and her 4 children, 3 of which are special needs. DFCS has an open family preservation case and has been working with her to improve conditions of her home. There is a roach and gnat infestation all throughout the home, which has made the home unsanitary. There are roaches on the children's beds. The mother does not have funds to cover an exterminator nor a professional cleaning business. The mother lacks a support system and is overwhelmed due to being a single parent. The mother is also in need of bedding for the children (twin size), given that the ones they currently have are filthy and old. In addition to this, the home is in need of deep cleaning. The mother received a Notice of Violation from law enforcement stating that she needs to clean the front yard and clean up all trash and miscellaneous items by July 25th. The mother could use assistance with a dumpster agency perhaps. Happy to address any questions or concerns. Thank you!
