I have a custodian in need of services to help since she has gained custody of 1- and 6-year-old boys from a family friend. The custodian is struggling to take care of the family due to high living cost. The family is in need of help with food in the home due to rising cost of groceries, diapers size 4 and wipes, clothes size 12-18 months, shoes size 7c for the 1-year-old. The 6-year-old wears a 6 or 7 in boys clothing and a 2y in shoes. The custodian has also asked for a need in cleaning supplies due to the children's sensitve skin, she is asking for Arm & Hammer Sensitive Detergent. The need would help offset the cost of living to help her not have to relinquish custody due to not being able to provide to her highest capability. Thank you, Kendra Hawkins.

I am requesting beds for a family consisting of a single mother and her four children, ages 10, 8, 4, and 6 months. The family is currently experiencing significant financial hardship and is in urgent need of appropriate sleeping arrangements. At this time, all family members are sleeping on a single mattress in the living room. This situation poses a serious safety risk, particularly to the infant, due to co-sleeping concerns. The family resides in a three-bedroom apartment, with designated rooms for the boys and girls; however, these rooms are currently not being utilized because of the lack of furniture. The provision of beds—including a crib or safe sleeping space for the infant—is essential to ensure the children's health, safety, and overall well-being.

Foster Care Teenage boy 19 who has lived his life in the system, just returned from being homeless and a mentor has reached out to help him complete his education and provide a home for him. They will be starting to work on basic life skills and employment. A full size bed and dresser is needed for the teenager to help make placement into the mentor's home.

This family is need of assistance. The grandmother has had to step up to the plate with placing her grandson in her custody. She has recently had to undergo major surgery, which she is not able to work at this moment. She is also having trouble getting around. The little boy is in elementary school; he is doing well in school with his grades. He is an outgoing and lighthearted little boy. The grandmother needs assistance with clothes and groceries since she is the only one providing for the child. He currently does not have any summer clothes. His clothes size is an 8 and shoe sizes 2 1/2-3y.

Mom and dad are parents to a baby girl who will be one year old on 5/25/25. The baby girl needs a crib, crib mattress, and crib sheets. The crib she has now does not have a mattress. The mother said they aren't able to find a mattress to fit the crib because the crib is an abnormal size. Baby girl needs a comfortable place to sleep. The parents also are in need of a bed themselves also.

The child in need is a 13-year-old female. He enjoys drawing and painting and has hopes of joining the softball and track team for the upcoming school year. She is placed with her aunt and is in need of a Twin-size bed in order to preserve her placement with family.

We have a young teen that just moved into an apartment to start a life of her own and she really needs a washer and a dryer in order to have easy access to wash and dry her clothes. She has taken in her sister and nephew who were in an abusive home and is helping care for them as well. This would help this young lady immensely if anyone has a gently used washer and dryer or would like to purchase one for a discounted price. WE NEED A SIDE BY SIDE WASHER AND DRYER.

This organization, OT2GO, houses teenagers that are aging out of foster care and helps them learn life skills and independence in order to be successful in life. The majority of our teenagers do not have driver's license or any other means of transportation. These teenagers are trying to keep their jobs but can't afford transportation to and from their work. Most of them are new to their jobs and haven't received a paycheck to afford transportation. If anyone would be willing to provide an uber gift care we would greatly appreciate it. We transport as many of them as we can but we are a very small team doing the best we can! Thank you so much!

The main provider for a local family suddenly passed away last week. Two of the children in the home are seniors in high school and will be graduating next month. Half of their senior fees have already been paid, but the other half of the fees still remain ($120 for each child). If these fees are not paid, they will not be able to attend any of the senior events at school such as Senior Picnic, Senior Banquet, Awards Day, Senior Field Trip, Senior Breakfast, etc. If these fees are paid, the children will be able to attend these events with their peers and allow them a sense of normalcy in their rapidly changing life. A check can be made out to their school for the total, or it can be paid online. If it is paid online, there will be a $2.99 service charge for each child.

The family is in need of several different things to maintain a safe and healthy living environment. There are three children and a mother who resides in an apartment complex in a rural area. The mother tries her best to care for her children as much as she can. The home is in need of some cleaning as well and the mom tries her best to clean what she can because it consists of 2 1/2 bathrooms and 6 rooms upstairs. The SW did notice a couple of things the family may need in the home to be able to live comfortably and that includes some comforter sets for the children/ mother, bedding frames, and clothing. Also, the mother had food assistance but, now she is unable to provide food for her family due to a situation where her benefits were stolen so, she is need of food. The mother is also in need of clothing as well. There are two girls who were a size 10/12 and 5T and the little boy wears a size 14/16. The mother stated she wears a S/M in shirts and a 10/12 in pants. The children have queen mattresses in their room with no bedding frames/comforters, and the mother has a twin mattress in her room but, would like to find her a queen bed with mattress and comforter set included.
