Help Reunify a Bio Family

Request: #242584 • Urgency: Critical • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Grand Rapids • State: Michigan • Zip Code: 49507 • County: Kent • Submitted By: Catholic Charities West Michigan

Story

1 Child 1 Adult

Hello, assistance is needed for a biological mother seeking reunification with her 10-year-old daughter, who is in foster care. To support reunification and create a suitable living environment, a dumpster is needed to organize her recently relocated apartment. Her belongings were previously in storage, and the smaller size of her new unit has prevented her from fully organizing and settling in. This is essential to ensure her home is prepared for her daughter's return and supports a smooth transition into reunification, which is the primary goal of child welfare services for children in foster care. Support is sought in securing a dumpster rental for this purpose.

Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement

Hello all, we have a foster parent who recently took placement of a medically needy baby, under 1. The child is underweight for her age as well as on oxygen. Positioning of the baby's body is incredibly important to ensure she develops appropriate muscle mass and maintain appropriate airflow. Due to the child's medical needs, the foster parent is in need of a new stroller to help accommodate the baby's size and medical equipment as well as a baby swing for the same reasons. The stroller and the baby swing will allow the baby to be comfortable while traveling and while the caregiver is running about the home tending to the other 3 foster kiddos she has.

The stroller is a BABYTREND SNAPGO single stroller and the baby swing is a 4moms MamaRoo Multi-motion baby swing.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

A family needs help with an overwhelming roach infestation. There are roaches crawling in their pantry, all over the children's rooms, and on the ceiling. One of the children stated it gets worse at night and more come out of hiding. The parents have tried bug spray and bombing the home, but need more supplies to help the situation. They are unable to buy more supplies at this time. The roaches are affecting the children's wellbeing and mental health. Please help us give this family a roach free home and bless them with the supplies they need, thank you very much!

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.
