High Urgency Request
A family on a fixed income is in need of help purchasing laundry detergent for sensitive skin. The family can no longer buy bargain brands due to contact allergies that their children have developed. The family's fixed income has created financial strain with the rising cost of groceries and household items. The need to purchase name brand detergent creates an even greater financial strain. We are asking for 4 large containers of All Free and Clear laundry detergent (140oz or larger), and 4 boxes of All Free and Clear dryer sheets. The detergent and dryer sheets need to say Unscented or Perfume Free. Any and all assistance towards this need is greatly appreciated!

This is a family of 3. There are 2 children and a mother. Mother works, but struggles. Both children (11 and 12) are autistic and one is non- verbal. The non-verbal child is extremely intelligent. The family is in need of a couple of devices (tablets or phones). They had one, but it recently cracked. These devices would not have to be new just something for them to be able to learn with in the summer. The oldest child has been teaching herself Japanese with online sites.

High Urgency Request
***Help a Single father of 3*** I am working with a single father of 3 children. They have been without hot water in their home for 3 months. The father has been boiling water on their stove in order to provide the children with warm baths. This has led to his already struggling stove to stop working. Dad states he cooks a lot and is now without a way to provide home cooked meals or warm water for his children to bathe. He advised that a stove would be best but all he needs is a "cooking plate" to get by. I have provided a link below to a cooking plate that is $91.98 from amazon. ** I am working with the family to find a way to provide a new water heater so that the family can have hot water in the home.**

Mother (Spanish speaking) and her two children (English speaking) are struggling to pay for their housing and utilities for the month of April. The agency became involved due to a domestic violence incident and father was arrested and remains in jail and could face deportation due to his immigration status. The court issued a No Contact Order protecting mother and the children and if he gets out of jail, he cannot make any type of contact with the family. He was the main bread winner for the family. Mother recently obtained employment but will not be able to pay rent/utilities in April. She did get herself on a payment plan for utilities. She does not have a lease and the landlord has already rent for April by $100.00 and if she is not able to pay for April rent by the 1st, he is going to raise the rent by another $100.00 bringing the total to $800.00. Mother is seeking more affordable housing, but will not be able to move by the beginning of April.

A hard working mother of 2 just moved into a new home to begin a fresh start for her and her children. She works very hard to make ends meet and due to just paying for a new place, does not have a lot of money for extra things. At this time she is in need of a lot of furnishings but a priority are beds. Specifically a twin bed (for a boy) with all furnishings, a queen bed (for herself) with all furnishings and twin size bedding for her daughter as well. This would allow the family to have a good nights rest and provide safety and stability for their children.

(Need 1 of 2) Hard working parents with 3 children are making ends meet but are not able to purchase several important household items. All family members are currently sleeping on air mattresses. If they are able to have their own beds to sleep on it would provide them with a good nights sleep to help with their daily living and overall wellbeing. I am requesting a twin bunk bed, a twin bed, and a queen bed with everything with them (bedding, frames, mattresses etc). Thank you so much for considering!

EXTREMELY URGENT! This is a grandmother in desperate need of help. She wants to keep her 3 grandchildren together, and out of foster care. However the children were dropped off to her with nothing with them. Mother did not leave them with any clothing, food, diapers, bedding, or anything to help with their basic needs. Mother has a pattern of dropping her kids off with this grandmother, and not assisting grandmother with any of their needs. Concerns one child has severe eczema, and is in need of a lotion/cream to help him. Another child is still an infant and is in need of sufficient and safe bedding, such as a crib or pack and play. This infant also needs diapers and wipes. All of the children are in need of clothing. In order to safely transport these children grandmother will need car seats as well. This grandmother recently lost her husband to COVID, and has been trying her best to manage on her own, now she has the additional expenses of 3 children. Please assist this grandmother in keeping these children together, and with family. She just needs some support to help get her started. Thank you so much! Hope to hear from someone soon!
