Help Preserve a Foster Care Placement
A sibling group of five are with new caregivers. They are wanting to continue to support the valuable sibling connection and ensure they don’t need to split the group between different homes. To ensure this doesn’t happen we are requesting 2 bunk beds and a decent sized dresser to accommodate the needs of the children.

Additional Information about the family in need: The children were living in a hotel for 3 months with their father after the family was evicted from their apartment. They had to leave everything behind and only have the clothes they left with. The grandmother is disabled and needs assistance in obtaining the furniture to accommodate the children's sleeping arrangements.

Help Assist a Victim of Domestic Violence
A woman is working to regain stability after a recent divorce. She is wheelchair-bound and currently without a permanent mailing address, which has created barriers to applying for government benefits and obtaining a Florida ID.
The Nest North Florida is working alongside Three Rivers Legal Services to help facilitate this next step toward stability. A P.O. Box and a valid ID—estimated at $250—would provide her with the foundation needed to access critical services and move forward with dignity.
This request is a tangible opportunity to meet a real need and remind her she’s not alone.

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing
I have a client with 3 young children. Two of these children currently share a bedroom and bed out of necessity. They are 6 and 4 years old. The family does not have the means to purchase a bunkbed and mattress set and would be tremendously grateful with any assistance in helping these children have their own space, as their constant growth displays, they are in definite need of! The home has low ceilings, being mindful of this is important to the family as to ensure the safety of the child that sleeps on the top bunk.

Help Strengthen a Bio Family
The mother is involved with pfsf due to DV. This mother does not have any type of peep hole in her front door and requests a door latch/chain that would allow her to be able to open her door, partially, to see who is at her door while allowing her to still be able to close it without allowing entry.
