I have a grandmother who needs help with caring for her grandson. This Grandmother has been caring for her grandson more than 10 years. Over the last 5 she has been dealing with sickness and her age. This grandmother is legally disabled and is using her monthly disability check to cover her bills, food, and supplies for her teenage grandson. The parents are in a position where they are unable to help this grandmother financially and due to her not having legal guardianship, she has access to limited resources. With school about to start up this teenager will need clothes, shoes and supplies. This family needs a month of expenses covered so they may get ahead and have some room to breathe financially before school starts. If this need is met our teenagers dealing with mental health will not have to worry about the stress his grandmother is dealing with caring for him, as well as this grandmother will be able to get her grandson’s school clothes and supplies, as well as shoes, food and catch up on utility bills.

Single mom and three children, have full size mattress but need box spring/bed frame to go with it for appropriate sleeping arrangements for family.

A special needs three yr old baby girl who has been through a lot since birth needs a twin box spring for her special needs bed called a safe sleeper as soon as possible. She was diagnosed with a rare genetic syndrome that affects physical, cognitive, and behavioral development. This syndrome is characterized by mild to severe learning disabilities, distinctive facial features, sleep disturbances, and behavioral problems. She was approved for the safe sleeper after several months of being denied and she was finally approved and received the new safety bed, however it did not come with a box spring and placement really need the box spring to set up the bed. She is a very energetic 3yr old who hardly sleeps longer than a few hours at time and is always on the go. She is not able to sleep in a crib or toddler bed as she heads bangs, hits, and bites and she can be very aggressive at times. A safe sleeper allows placement to keep her safe from injuring herself and stay in bed. It will also allow the placement to sleep knowing that she is in bed and not getting into things that can hurt her. The placement has had a hard time with keeping her safe especially at night. The couple has had to rotate every few hours to stay up at night to ensure her safety and they are overwhelm, stressed out and tired of not getting sleep at night to ensure her safety and the safe sleep will be a great way to ensure her safety and keep her in her bed and out of danger.

Mother and her 7 year old daughter moved into their new house a couple months ago but have not been able to afford some furniture due to not being able to transport all of their belongings and financial strain. The 7 year old currently has an older bed, but the frame is broken, causing the mattress to slump on the floor. The child could use a new mattress, bed frame, and bed set. If possible, additional furniture items the family could benefit from to make their house a home is as follows: tv stand, couch, bath towels, hand towels, and rugs. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
