I have a young man who is 12 and is in need of clothing for the summer. He is a size Adult small in shorts and a Men's medium in shirts. He would really appreciate some new boxers size men's small and socks for a size 10 foot. He loves sports, especially football, so he would do wonderful with athletic shorts that stretch and he can run in.

I am requesting financial assistance for a mother who is currently at a treatment home where she is receiving services that are required for her to get her parental rights reinstated. She has been reunitied with her 2 children and is doing EXCELLENT! She is scheduled to graduate from the program the first part of July. She has an apartment lined up for her family and has done everything she could to help herself and her family prepare for the future. However, due to complications in her high risk pregnancy, she hasn't been able to work for the last couple of months. The program that she is in has fees that they are required to pay as part of their treatment but because she hasn't been able to work, she has gotten way behind on the fees. She currently owes about $750. The treatment center has allowed the family to stay due to their circumstances but she can not graduate the program without paying what is owed. This mother has worked so hard to get to where she is now and the stress of this bill hanging over her head is not helping matters. The children are thriving with their mother and the youngest is very attached to her. We are asking for any help you can give to get this family started on a clean slate to their new life. We will take any donations toward these fees no matter how small. Please help me give this family a fresh start to their new life.

This is a single parent kinship placement on a limited income. The family is in need of an electric cook stove. The existing stove is believed to have shorted out. The oven turned on by itself and would not turn off. The stove has to be unplugged to get it to turn off. This has limited what the family can cook. The family would love to be able to cook safely again on a stove. The family also needs two tires for the their car as the ones they have are bald. They have been able to come up with two on their own but would benefit from two more so they can safely drive to and from the grocery store, doctor appointments, and any other daily activities. The tires are 235/50R18.

I am working a prevention case to prevent removal of 4 children from a single mother who lives with maternal grandmother and grandfather. Their electric is a prepaid account and is in danger of being shut off due to depleted funds. We are in need of funds to replenish their account. The family just bought food with their food stamps and is in jeopardy of the food ruining if the electric is shut off.
