A family in need of various items. 5 children were displaced from their home and placed with grandparents. The grandparents are in need of a bunk bed. There is also a newborn child is also in need of various help with blankets and other essential items. The grandparents are doing their best to help provide for all 5 children and also having custody of their other 2 grandchildren. Due to the unforeseen placement they need help with this bunk bed to allow room for all 7 children. In order for these children to remain with their grandparents they will need appropriate beds. There is also a 6 year old non-verbal autistic child they is in need of a communication tablet that would help with his speech and communication with his needs. The agency is providing diapers and formula monthly to the family in this time of need to help support. We want these siblings to remain together in a loving safe home with their grandparents. The grandparents have found a van that would better utilize the family and are in need of $600 to secure this van as one of the cars broke down and this would allow the grandparents to travel together in one car.

The parents are in an inpatient treatment to be able to provide a safe and sober life for their children. Any help for this family would be greatly appreciated and the family thanks you in advance.

A single mother of 6 is in need of curtains for her apartment (curtains and curtain rods for 6 windows). She also is in need of comforters/ blankets for her children, any amount is fine (as well as used). Lastly, a toddler bed for her daughter. These resources will help the mother be able to ensure her home is safe and suitable for her family.

Single Mom of four who regained custody in the past year is in desperate need of a used washer and dryer to save money on going to the laundry mat!

Grandma and her 4-year-old grandson's window AC unit just broke, and given the intense heatwave we are experiencing, the family is in desperate need of a new unit. Grandma's funds must go toward rent, food, etc., therefore, they need help paying for a new unit. If possible two units would make a huge difference for this family and allow them to live comfortably this summer. thank you!

I am unable to contact the respondent of this need. Please contact my email address. Thank you.

Mom who was using substances has been working to maintain sobriety. She went into inpatient treatment and completed programming there. She has now returned to Springfield. She began by living with a cousin. She had her youngest child with her (2-year-old son). Since returning she is doing intensive outpatient treatment. She obtained employment at the hospital, and is working toward self-sufficiency. Her ex-husband had their 3 daughters but she is now able to have them home with her. She had to pay a deposit and 1st month's rent. She needs an electric stove, refrigerator, and sofa. They do not have to be new, she is fine with used. She has borrowed a tiny fridge and has a crock pot and 2 burner cook top. A stove, fridge, and sofa would be very helpful for her to begin her new life with her children. AGAIN- These can be used appliances and sofa. Thank you!

A child recently reunified with her biological daughter. He had a bed for her but is a too small for her. He is working very hard to take care of her and meet all of her needs but he is on a fixed income and receives disability and is unable to work. The family is in a good place minus the situation with the bed.

I am working with a single mother of seven kids who is in need of beds for her children. The bed frames she had for the children broke. She is employed but can only make her money go so far with seven kids. This will allow the children to remain with their mother and not enter foster care.

Haitian family has secured new apartment but lacks furniture! She is more than happy to receive used items!
