Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing
Upon completing a home visit, CM noticed that there was no furniture in the family's living room and one of the bedrooms was completely empty. Our current client, a 16-year-old girl, shares a queen size bed between 2 other family members, while her caregiver sleeps on the floor. The family has 1 adult currently working while the other is forced to stay home and care for their 8-month-old baby boy. The family is financially limited as to how much they can spend. Our client needs her own bed to have a little bit more space and privacy.

When these items are met, the teenager will have normalcy and a safe place to sleep and a place to live alongside with sibling. This will help preservation of sibling group.

An Amazon gift card in any amount would be very much appreciated as the caregiver will likely go ahead and purchase the items as they are needed quickly. Reimbursement to the caregiver for any of the items with a gift card will be most helpful at this time. Thank you so much!

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing
A young single mother and her 3 children are in need of one bed for the 5-year-old girl. She would need a full set for her bed including a mattress, bed frame, and bedding as the mother does not currently have the financial stability to be able to provide this for her daughter. The mother is currently not able to work as one of her children is medically fragile and is his full-time caregiver. This bed would not only lift the financial burden for the mother, but it would also greatly help the young girl be able to sleep comfortably in a safe space.

A recently single new mother of three is struggling financially. She took maternity leave and did have a nest egg set up, however it is dwindling faster than to be expected. Mom also had a uterine infection after birth that also took money away from the nest egg. Mom just got approved for WIC and is waiting to see if she has been approved for food stamps. In the meantime she could use assistance with groceries. Anything helps
