First Evangelical Free Church (Maplewood)

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.)

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 is a two-parent household with five children under the ages 6 and under. There is one child with specialized needs and other children who are participating in the evaluation process to assess what additional needs they might have. The father of the children has had a loss in his family and had to travel out of the country to address this loss, and this put additional strain on the household due to loss of support for the family both physically and financially. In addition, their youngest child is an infant therefore the mother of the children has only recently been able to return to work to help provide for the family financially. These children would benefit from the following support to enhance their learning, development, and safety.

There was not an option for a crib mattress protector, so I had to enter it as twin, but we need a crib size for the baby. Due to space if the dresser could be a taller type rather than the shorter/long it might work better in the family's home.

Client is in need of a play mat/activity pad for her daughter who just turned one month old. Client has had some support from family but is not working and is mostly home alone with her baby.
