The family of 9 recently experienced a severe bed bug infestation. The mother and her sister, who reside together, reported that they were forced to dispose of all mattresses in an effort to eliminate the infestation. At this time, the family is uncertain how the bed bugs were introduced into the home. The mother is living with a disability and is currently unable to work, which has created financial challenges in purchasing a new mattress. Currently, the children are sleeping on air mattresses. The family is requesting assistance in obtaining six (6) twin-size mattresses to replace those that were discarded. The bed frames are made of metal and have been thoroughly cleaned and treated multiple times to ensure the infestation has been resolved. Thank You

I'm currently working with a single mom and her three-year-old son who just got a new apartment and are moving out of a shelter. The mom had her belongings held in storage, but the storage unit leaked causing them to lose everything. The child's father is incarcerated and unable to help provide. I believe this mother and her son would greatly benefit from community aid in hopes to replace some of what was lost. The mother is requesting clothes for her son sized 4T as well as a twin- and full-size mattress. The mother would also like a kitchen table and chairs. Please note - the delivery address is Troy, NY 12180

The father has been the child's primary caregiver since birth, as his biological mother passed away of an overdose approximately 2 years ago. The six-year-old is currently with his older brother (19 years old), while his father engages in the needed treatments. The father is reportedly two weeks sober and working to get custody of his son back. Father is court ordered to engage in several programs but is unable to do so due to having no cell phone. The father is unable to schedule necessary appointments in efforts to regain custody of his son. The father is requesting assistance obtaining a pre-paid cell phone with minutes.

While navigating the emotional burden of these loses, the family has also been impacted financially. Below is a link to a potential phone and minutes.
