A family of two adults and three children were recently homeless and have finally gotten themselves within stable housing. However, due to all of the new expenses, the children are in need of clothing. The family has requested sneakers for each of the children to use at school, as well as summer clothing. Clothing and shoe sizes are listed below:

Child #1 (Middle School student)- Size 14/Size M in clothing, 8.5 in shoes in Adult sizing Child #2 and 3 (Elementary School Twins)- Size M in shirts, one child is size 8 in pants/shorts, the other is size 10 or 12 in pants/shorts. One twin is size 5.5 in kids, while the other twin is size 6 in kids for shoes.

By providing clothing and shoes to these children, this would allow the family to focus on all of their new expenses! This family could benefit from having individuals in the community as a connection and support. Thank you so much for your help!

CDSS is working with a mother who has made great strides towards reunification! She has recently progressed to unsupervised visitation and is going to be able to spend a large amount of time with her child over Mother's Day weekend. She has had to cut her work hours due to the requirements placed on her, and could use assistance with diapers and wipes for her one-year-old daughter. She wears size four diapers. She could also use assistance with age-appropriate snacks as well. Thank you for your consideration in supporting this family in their reunification!

I am working with a family who arrived to the country last fall. The father works but the family is having a difficult time purchasing other items that are needed after paying rent and utilities. The family would be grateful to receive used items to fulfill this request. The family is asking for help with kitchen silverware and a couch. They are also asking for help getting diapers for children, size 6 and 7.

This family speaks Pashto.

This request is to assist 4 special needs siblings, who were brought into foster care unexpectantly and placed with 2 different kinship families . The receiving families are in need of basic furnishings to accommodate this unexpected life event and stabilize these traumatized children. Items needed include;
bunk bed crib single bed, mattresses, bedding, pillows Any assistance would be so appreciated as we attempt to create and support a family placement which will prevent these children from living with strangers

I am working with a young, single mother who has a son who is almost 3 years old. I am asking for help to find a fishing pole and an over the toilet potty training seat to support the child in potty training. This mother works hard to pay bills, utilities, and for food each month but is asking for assistance to support her son with these things. The boy loves animals and being outside. He especially loves to pretend play that he is fishing and the mother said that she would love to have a fishing pole for him to be able to go fishing together.

We are currently working with a family that has had chronic issues with pests in the home. The majority of these issues have been ameliorated, however, they are currently working to eradicate the presence of some roaches. They have limited financial resources available to them with which to do so. We are hoping to see if any churches or community organizations are able to help support them with the financial burden of pest control services.

I am working with a single mother who works full time and is able to pay rent and utilities, but is needing assistance to get some daily living basics for her and her 6 year old son. To support this family, I am requesting a microwave, pots and pans, cooking utensils, plates and bowls, soap, and toilet paper.
