I have the mother of four children who is pregnant with her fifth child. She lives with her mother, as her and the children's father are no longer together. The father currently has all four of the children in his care right now and is planning on filing for primary custody of those children. This mother is due with their fifth child (a boy) in September, and although she works, she doesn't have a very good job and barely has any money after helping her mom pay for the bills. She doesn't have the money to pay for the car seat and the pack and play (with possible basinet attachment) for the baby to be safe when they do arrive. Her support system is unable to help her financially at all. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The family has relocated back to Dallas County to their home. They have been able to obtain a bed for their oldest child but is in need of two toddler beds for their youngest children. Mom just started working but in the process of getting established in her role and assisting with household necessities. The family has experienced a lot over the past 9 months, and a little assistance will really help alleviate some of the families' financial stressors.

We are reaching out on behalf of a courageous mother who is taking meaningful steps toward reuniting with her one-year-old baby. This young woman has endured profound challenges, including separation from her child—yet through it all, she has shown determination, humility, and strength. She has committed herself fully to the hard work of healing, learning, and building a safe, loving environment for her child’s return.

In the process of rebuilding, she has placed her child’s needs far above her own. She attends parenting classes, counseling, and supervised visits with tenderness and intention. Her focus has been on becoming the mother her baby deserves—and now, as reunification draws near, she is working to reclaim her sense of dignity and confidence.

This mom is in urgent need of clothing, undergarments, and personal hygiene items—especially items that support and reflect her ethnic background and personal identity. These basics are not just about comfort; they are about helping her show up fully for her child, and for herself, with the self-respect and strength she’s been fighting to rebuild.
