I have a 2 year old boy that is on my caseload. The child has just recently been reunited with his mother on a trial home placement arrangement. The mother just had surgery yesterday and works full-time. Due to having her surgery she is missing some hours and will be short on her paycheck. The mother does not have any support from family. She is having a hard time paying for her living expenses and is needing help with groceries. The mother does have groceries at this time but moving forward this may be a real problem until she is able to apply for food stamps due to the child being placed in her care. The mother is also having a difficult time paying for rent for the month. The mother reported to me that she will not be able to pay her rent and her car payment this month, due to her surgery. I am hoping to get this mother and child help with groceries and the possibility of getting some help paying for rent or car payment.
