After two years, five siblings: 9(F) 11(M) 11(M) 13(F) & 15(M) are finally being reunited with their parents. The parents have diligently fulfilled all components of their case plan, including improving their parenting skills and resolving safety concerns, demonstrating consistent stability and readiness for reunification

As part of these efforts, they have secured a stable new three-bedroom home to accommodate all five children, effectively addressing the core housing requirement for the transition. However, the family faces a significant barrier: they lack the necessary funds to furnish the home. Specifically, they need five sets of beds, mattresses, and comforters for the children’s bedrooms. This a vital step in the reunification process.

Providing these essentials will create a safe, comfortable environment conducive to overnight stays and will remove the last material barrier to reunification. The goal is to support the emotional and physical well-being of the children, ensuring a smoother transition back into their family home. 1 bunk bed in the color black - Go To Link - $270.18 3 bed frames in the color black - Go To Link -(57.48 each) 5 mattresses - Go To Link -(80.69 each) 3 packs of pillows - Go To Link -($18.99 for a two pack) 3 comforter denim blue - Go To Link -(44.99 each) 2 comforter aqua - Go To Link - (44.99 each) 2 dressers pure black - Go To Link -(34.99 each)
