I am assisting a grandmother who does not have means to transportation services and her support system is having car troubles. She has two small grandchildren placed with her and she needs everyday living essentials such as soap, deodorant, lotion, etc. She also needs food for her home. She would greatly appreciate financial assistance to make an online delivery to her home. This would help the children everyday living experience. Thanks so much.

Currently, a grandfather is caring for his two intellectually disabled grandchildren (one girl and one boy). His granddaughter needs bras(size 44DD) and extensions to braid her hair. The female child is 14 years of age and struggles with managing her hair, which has caused it to become matted. The family was supplied with hair products to assist the child in caring for her hair, but it is currently difficult to manage due to the length of time that her hair has gone untouched. They will be able to maintain her hair moving forward, once she receives the braiding service. The child has complained about current bras due to the wires poking her. If bras can be supplied, please ensure that they can properly support the child.

The child was recently placed with her God mother. The child has grown out of her clothing. The mother is not currently employed and can't provide clothing. The child is a female. The below information is sizes of clothing and shoes.

The child is a small in shirts The child pants size is 3-5 in Juniors The child shoes are a size 7 in women or size 5 1/2 or 6 in Kids The child wears a size 34b in Bras The child under wears are a size medium

I am writing to request support for a dedicated mother of seven children who is currently facing financial hardships. Despite her continued efforts to provide a safe and nurturing home, she is in urgent need of new bedding arrangements for six of her children.

At present, the condition of their mattresses and beds has significantly deteriorated, making it increasingly difficult for the children to rest comfortably and get the sleep they need for their health and development. To ensure their well-being and improve their living conditions, we are seeking assistance in obtaining bunk beds and mattresses that will provide a stable and suitable sleeping environment.

We are reaching out on behalf of a mother who spent three months in a shelter at Restoration House and previously lived in unsafe conditions. The mother has secured a house through Atlanta Housing, but owes a large deposit. In the meantime, her and her two children are currently living with her sister because she does not have the money for the deposit. Living with a disability and unable to work, she needs $850 to move into her new home. She wants to remain in the area because she relies on the essential support provided by Agape. Donations are being accepted through the Agape website, and all funds will go directly to the landlord through a check issued by Agape. Any help would be deeply appreciated as they navigate this difficult period.

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to you as the Court Liaison for DeKalb DFCS on behalf of Probation Officer Williams, who is passionately advocating for a remarkable young mother in our community—a 16-year-old girl eager to change her life and build a brighter future for herself and her one-year-old son. This young mother has made the inspiring decision to return to school and pursue her GED, overcoming the challenges of her past. To achieve her educational goals, she will need reliable transportation via MARTA three days a week to attend her classes. Her mother is lovingly stepping in to care for her grandson while she focuses on her studies, but unfortunately, her mother is currently unemployed and unable to cover the cost of MARTA fares. In addition to her classes, this dedicated young woman visits the courthouse monthly to meet with her probation officer, who is guiding her in envisioning a hopeful path forward. To facilitate her education and potential future employment, we kindly request assistance in providing her with a monthly MARTA card. Your support in this matter would not only ease the burden of transportation but also empower this young mother to realize her dreams and aspirations. Thank you for considering this request. Any assistance you can provide would be immensely appreciated. Warm regards.

Region 13 is holding a foster parent appreciation event on June 14th to celebrate them for national foster care month. We are seeking donations in the form of baskets that could be raffled off for about 15 foster families. The monetary amount is not a requirement!

We are a loving family of six, comprised of four wonderful girls aged 7, twins aged 12, and a vibrant 16-year-old. Recently reunited with their forever home after foster care, the twins need special support to ensure their transition is as smooth as possible. We are seeking pull-ups in size 5T/6T and some regular children’s underwear to keep our little ones comfortable. Clothing and food assistance would greatly benefit our family during this time. Given that the twins are medically fragile, a sturdy wagon would be a wonderful help for taking all the children on joyful walks with their parents. Lastly, if possible, we are hoping to acquire medical equipment like feeding tube holders to ensure the twins receive the care they need. Your generosity would mean the world to us as we navigate this journey together. Thank you for considering our family's needs!

I have a young adult who currently has custody of her sister's first child and has been contacted by DFCS about taking custody of her sister's second child, who is due in the next week. She needs a car seat to take the baby home from the hospital.

This case involves a single mother of three who has lost everything due to frequently moving between various extended-stay hotels. The mother needs to obtain a birth certificate for her oldest daughter, which costs $25.

Additionally, the family requires proper clothing:

• 15-year-old son: Tops and bottoms in sizes L/XL or 36-38, and shoe size 13.
• 14-year-old daughter: Tops and bottoms in sizes L/XL or 14/16, and women's shoe size 10.
• 8-year-old daughter: Tops and bottoms in sizes L/XL or 12/14, and shoes in size 5.5-6 (Big Kids).

  Used clothing will also help the children.

A single mother has a six-year-old son is requesting assistance with transportation support. She is currently seeking employment and needs a MARTA gift card in the amount of $50 to attend job interviews. In addition, she plans to use transportation support to travel to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to obtain her I.D., which is a necessary step toward gaining independence and increasing her job opportunities.

I’m currently working with a 21-year-old mother who has a 1-year-old and is expecting another child in just a few weeks. She is incredibly ambitious and resourceful, doing all she can to provide a stable and nurturing environment for her children.

Having aged out of foster care nearly a year ago, she is navigating the challenges of young motherhood with determination. Currently, she does not own a vehicle and relies on a combination of Uber and MARTA for transportation. However, the cost of commuting is becoming increasingly burdensome, especially with more frequent trips expected for newborn medical appointments.

She is requesting a MARTA card to help ease some of the financial pressure and ensure she can continue meeting her family’s needs. She recently started a job
