Story
Single mother to 3 young children (1yo, 4yo, 2yo) is requesting assistance with obtaining car seats for 2 of her children. The mother is a victim of domestic violence and no longer has access to the vehicle or car seats previously used to transport all of her children, as that vehicle belongs to the perpetrator. Her current lack of car seats is posing a barrier to the mother being able to transport the children. Her 2yo child is medically complex, and she advised she does have a car seat for this child, but not the other 2 children. The mother owns a Toyota Corolla and is requesting 2 toddler/convertible car seats (one for her 4yo who is forward facing and one for her 1yo who is rear facing), no wider than 17", so that she can safely fit all 3 car seats in her smaller backseat. Obtaining these car seats will assist the mother with being able to safely transport herself and her children in one vehicle together and ultimately would further promote the mother's capability for self-sufficiency and functional independence.
