Request: #242408 • Urgency: Normal • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Jamestown • State: New York • Zip Code: 14701 • County: Chautauqua • Submitted By: Chautauqua County Department of Mental Hygiene and Social Services • Lead Church: The Rock Church

Story

1 Child 1 Adult

I am providing preventive services to a grandmother who now has her one year old granddaughter in her care via a safety plan through Child Protective Services. Of course this was something that unfolded quickly and the grandmother was not able to prepare for. The child is in need of size 2/3 clothing, especially for the warmer months and into the fall. The grandmother is on a fixed income and does not have the extra income to spend on many more supplies other that the basic needs of food, rent, and other daily items. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

CSW is requesting assistance for the family to obtain needed back to school clothing and shoes for the children. Parents were evicted from their apartment in April 2025. They are struggling financially and emotionally. In order to avoid living on the streets, the parents have moved in temporarily in with paternal relatives. The parents are working hard to save up for their own apartment however it has been difficult for them as they need to provide for their three young children as well. Mother is working part time as a security guard. Father is unemployed however he picks up shifts doing uber eats when possible. mother has worked hard to provide the children with a stable home free of any violence. Once the children were back in her care, she reduced the hours she was able to work so that she could tend to the children’s needs, ensuring they are taken to school, are able to do their homework, and eat a healthy meal. She has demonstrated her deep love for the children by nurturing them and providing them with stable home environment where they have been able to thrive. A small setback in their budget creates additional stress on the family. If the family were to receive assistance with clothing and shoes for the children it would help relieve some of that stress and allow the family to recover financially. The family was able to successfully meet their goals with the Department and the case is scheduled to close with DCFS next week.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

Family needs a refrigerator for their family of 7. Mother has been looking for support from family and community resources to obtain a new refrigerator. Mother has been unable to locate funds and is in dire need of a new refrigerator to be able to salvage some of the recent groceries and also be able to have food in the home for the children. Mother has not been successful. Although, Mother is having that challenge, mother is meeting the case plan goals/court orders. Mother is committed to maintaining the family together. Mother is actively working on fixing her familial relationships. Mother is employed, and is doing everything needed to maintain her family. The main reason I am requesting this need to be fulfilled is for mother to be able to maintain and provide a safe environment for the children and a refrigerator for food. Requesting A BIG SIZED fridge that can have ample room for 7 household members, otherwise the consequence would be that mother will be unable to store food for the family in a safe manner. This need is being requested through Care Portal because unfortunately DCFS can not provide this item as soon as possible and the refrigerator is needed as soon as possible. . The estimated cost of the need/s being requested is insert a realistic estimated $700-1200.00. Mother stated she would take any refrigerator that can be of size to store food and perishable items for her family of 7.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

We are reaching out on behalf of a dedicated single mother who is doing everything she can to provide a stable and loving home for her 15-year-old son. She works tirelessly to cover the essentials—rent, food, transportation—but like so many families, the extra costs of summer activities just aren’t possible right now.

Her son has an opportunity to attend summer camp this year—something he is genuinely excited about. This camp would provide him with a safe space to grow, explore, and make memories that every young person deserves. It’s more than just a camp; it’s a chance for joy, connection, and new experiences.

Unfortunately, this family is in need of some basic summer essentials in order for him to participate fully. They are humbly asking for help with:

• Summer short sets • Swim shoes • Swimming shorts Youth wears an adult small and shoe size 9.5

If you’re able to support in any way—whether through a store gift card, or a small donation of items—it would mean the world. Every little bit helps bring a bright light into this young man’s summer.

Let’s come together and show this family that they are not alone—that their community is here for them. Thank you for any support you can give.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

We are reaching out on behalf of a newly referred family from Children’s Hospital Colorado. This family is currently experiencing a housing crisis and is in the process of relocating to a shelter. At this time, one of their most urgent needs is safe transportation for their children, ages 6, 5, and 4 years old.

The family is not yet enrolled in SafeCare services but is being actively supported through our intake process. They are facing numerous challenges and are doing their best to provide safety and stability for their children.

We are requesting the following items to support their safe relocation to temporary housing: • 2 high-back booster seats (for the 6- and 5-year-olds) • 1 forward-facing car seat with a 5-point harness (for the 4-year-old)

Any assistance or donation of these items would have an immediate and meaningful impact on this family’s ability to safely transport their children and access shelter resources.

Please feel free to contact me at ******@email.com or(###) ###-#### if you are able to help or need further information.

Thank you so much for your support and compassion.

A previous mom we helped some time ago has stated the bed we gave is now worn. A photo was provided to show that. She would appreciate a twin bed for her son (mattress and box springs and rails, or platform frame) and a comforter. This will help her son to get the sleep he needs to be healthy and feel secure.

PLEASE NOTE: RISE CHURCH CAN MEET THIS NEED WITH A BED WE ALREADY HAVE IN OUR INVENTORY. NO FURTHER DONATIONS ARE NEEDED.
