Help Preserve a Kinship Placement
Maternal grandmother got custody of her 6 grandchildren through family court in 2023.
They lost their house in a house fire in 2024 and were moved to a shelter home through Family Promise. They were able to find housing and are able to move this month (June 2025).
Looking for 6 single beds OR 3 bunk beds with mattresses. Looking for 6 small dressers OR 3 large dressers.
I looked on Amazon to compare prices and found way cheaper options vs. the estimated value given.
Appreciate any help, thank you!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family
This family of 6 is very low income with the mom working full time as a CNA. She struggles to maintain a clean home due to a lack of cleaning supplies and a broken vacuum. They also do not have furniture or beds as they were potty training but could not afford to purchase diapers/pull ups and the child urinated through everything. They had to throw it in the trash. The mom expressed they could also benefit from some additional towels (bath and hand towels, as well as wash cloths) as they do not have enough for everyone in their family. She also stated they could use additional dishes such as plates, bowls, cups and silverware.
They live in a 3 bedroom townhome so twin or twin bunk beds (frames, mattresses) would be very helpful with space and the children sharing rooms. Waterproof mattress covers are a must. Their bedding is pretty old and beat up so the children could use new bedding and pillows as well.
Cleaning supplies: bathroom and kitchen cleaning spray, concentrated cleaning solution, towels to clean with, toilet bowl cleaner, etc.)

Client is a single mom of two and is currently in need of a stroller for her 19-month-old son. Client explained he is quickly outgrowing his old stroller as he is 25 pounds, and is in need of one that can grow with him. Client would like a 2 in 1 convertible toddler stroller, preferably one that is also collapsable for being on the go.

A family with three children at our school recently welcomed twins. Mom was the primary income driver for the family and as a result of the birth has been unable to work. They are hoping to receive a double stroller for their new additions, as this large purchase is not financially possible right now. The double stroller would allow them to transport the babies safely, as well as attend school events with the twins more easily. New or gently used would meet the need.
The family does not want their contact information released and will work with the Social Worker to arrange delivery.

This family has experienced housing instability as well as food insecurity for much of this school year. Mom's rental assistance just decreased drastically and now she is struggling to keep up. She will be getting a new job soon and is currently training for it, but is currently getting behind and struggling to catch up. She indicated that this is causing her to struggle to afford other household basics as well as food for her family. With summer coming up and there no longer being 2 meals provided at school, this is a major concern.
She does not have a car so the best grocery option would be a delivery of specific items or a Cub gift card.

Spanish speaking. This family of 6 recently immigrated to the US, they have 3 minor children (all boys, ages 2, 11, and 15) and one 18-year-old son. They moved into a new place and need some household items to feel more settled. They do not have very much furniture and need a dining room table and prefer one that is like a folding card table with 4 chairs for the children to do their homework and eat meals. They need a sofa couch and bedding for their full-sized bed. The bedding needed is a protective waterproof bed cover, full-sized sheet set. This will provide a better sense of well-being, which is very important for their culture and this family. The family resides in a single family home. There are cement steps to get into the home.

We are requesting support of a family that we've known for years and has been a pillar in the community. Specifically they need repairs completed on three windows that are currently unsealed and leaking water into the home, and probably collecting mold. The youngest child is an infant and has already had health concerns, and the next child has severe asthma that flares up regularly. They've tried different ways to seal the windows and have only been able to come up with a temporary solution. We think the windows getting repaired will greatly improve the health and well-being of the family, and reduce their stress knowing their kids aren't being affected by the moisture coming in the home.
