Story
This family has 4 kids, ages 2, 4, 5, and 8. They kids were removed from their parents due to concerns of domestic violence in the home with the parents. The children were placed with 1 relative, but that relative was not able to meet their needs. They moved in with their aunt who wanted to take the kids in so they were not placed in foster care. She has sacrificed a lot of her personal needs to ensure the kids' needs were met. The aunt moved into a larger home to accommodate the children.
The aunt was receiving financial assistance to care for the kids, but the amount is being cut in half. This has impacted her ability to stay caught up with bills and other things. On top of this, her dog recently passed away and their car's transmission went out, so the aunt's funds are tight this month. The aunt was able to borrow some money, but needs some help this month.
The family needs some financial assistance, a couch, dresser and could use some clothing for the children. The aunt's rent is $3100 per month.
The 3 oldest children are girls. The youngest is a boy. Clothing sizes: 10-12 (girl 8 yrs old) 5T (2 girls- 4, 5 yrs old) 24 months (boy- 2 yrs old)
shoes sizes: 7 youth (boy- 2 yrs old) 11 youth (2 girls- 4, 5 yrs old) 2 youth (girls- 8 yrs old)
