I am reaching out on behalf of a devoted grandmother who has unexpectedly found herself caring for her four young grandchildren. These children were left in her care by their father, and while she has welcomed them with open arms and unconditional love, she is facing an overwhelming challenge.

The family is currently living in a small one-bedroom unit, and unfortunately, there are no proper sleeping arrangements for the children. Each night, they sleep on the floor—an arrangement that has already begun to affect their rest and their well-being.

We are urgently seeking support to help this grandmother create a more stable and nurturing environment. Bunk beds are the most appropriate and space-saving solution to accommodate the four children in the limited space. This small change would make a significant impact on their well-being, health, and ability to thrive during this transitional time.

Financial support toward purchasing these items—would mean the world to this family. Our shared goal is to ensure these children are safe, comfortable, and able to rest in a secure home environment while their parents work through personal challenges.

Your generosity can help ease this grandmother’s burden and offer these children the peace and stability they deserve.

This request is for a mom and her 3 month old baby boy, who are in desperate need of a new stroller. Mom was previously in an in-patient drug treatment program for parents with her son, where she was provided a stroller to use by the program. Mom has been doing wonderfully and graduated from that program, but she had to give the stroller back when she moved out. Mom is in a new outpatient program and has moved to a sober living facility where she has been able to keep her son with her, but she no longer has a way to safely and comfortably bring her with him when she leaves the facility. A new stroller would open up this family's world and help mom keep her son close and safe. Mom takes public transportation a lot, to get to work and her various services, so a more compact or travel stroller would be ideal. Mom previously had an Evenflo stroller, but she is not picky at all and would be happy as long as she has some kind of stroller - she is willing to make whatever is available work for her and her son! Funding this request helps support a hardworking, dedicated mom in ultimately reunifying with her very young baby boy, who she has fought to show up and be present for since he was removed from her custody shortly after his birth.

I am currently working with a family in need. The household includes a mother and her three children—two boys, ages 11 and 6, and a 5-month-old daughter. The mother is incredibly resilient and has navigated many challenges throughout her journey in motherhood. At present, she is unemployed and under significant stress due to the father's absence from the home and his lack of support, particularly in caring for their 6-year-old son, who has been diagnosed with autism and requires high levels of care. The family lives in a single-family home with very worn out and damaged furniture and limited clothing. Currently, the mother shares a mattress with both of her sons and her infant daughter. To help improve their living conditions and promote the children’s safety and comfort, the Department would like to assist the family in obtaining the following items: a trundle bed, twin mattresses, bedding, and a double seat stroller. By providing these basic necessities would not only ease the mother’s emotional and financial burdens but also allow the children to have their own beds, helping them get proper rest to start their days well. TWO REQUESTS WERE SUBMITTED FOR THIS FAMILY (this request is for the double stroller.

Hello, we have a special request on behalf of a young family in our community. Their baby is struggling with weight gain, and after trying multiple feeding strategies, they’ve been advised to use a specific formula that’s both expensive and hard to find: Enfamil EnfaCare Infant Formula Powder, 13.6 oz.

These young parents have been tirelessly caring for their baby, sticking to a strict feeding schedule and doing everything they can to help her grow. Recently, the father broke his leg and is now waiting for surgery. He was the only income provider and has been unable to work, putting their housing situation at risk.

After previously experiencing homelessness while the mother was pregnant, they’ve worked hard to get into a place of their own. Now, with this unexpected setback, they’re facing real challenges again — despite how much they’ve tried to stay on their feet.

They’re active in our community events and always show up with kind hearts and a willingness to connect. We’re asking if any churches or community partners may have access to Enfamil EnfaCare 13.6 oz formula, or if there’s any rental assistance available to help them during this difficult time.

Thank you so much for your continued care and support for families like this one. ❤️

Current non-minor dependent recently moved into an apartment with his dog. He isn't able to work right now due to an injury so he is tight on cash. He needs a couch and refrigerator. He would be much more comfortable with those items and could focus on healing properly.

A devoted grandmother is stepping in to provide emergency care for her 1.5-year-old grandson after he was removed from his home. To prevent him from being placed in a non-family foster home, she has been asked to take him into her care immediately. The baby is the son of her eldest son, and while she is eager to welcome him, the unexpected responsibility has created a financial strain.

With two children already in her household, she is in urgent need of essential supplies for her grandson, including clothing (socks and pajamas), diapers, wipes, sippy cups, and groceries. Unfortunately, it will take 2-3 months before she receives financial assistance for his care.

DCFS is preparing to transfer the baby from San Diego to her home right away. Your kindness and generosity can help ensure that this grandmother has the support she needs to provide a stable and loving environment for her grandson during this critical time.
