I am currently working with a family who is experiencing homelessness. The family has four children total, and the mother is currently 6 months pregnant as well. The children are 4 years old, almost 3 years old, 1 year old, and 7 months old. The father is currently working daily as well as attempting to pick up as much over time as he can and has been getting daily pay checks to help pay for hotel room stays. We are currently working closely with the family regarding getting into an apartment, however this process may take a couple of weeks. Until then, we are looking for some financial assistance in hotel stays so the father can save more money from his pay checks rather than using it to pay for a nightly hotel stay. The family is very thankful for any help they receive and would be willing to meet with anyone regarding assistance. We are needing a room as soon as today, please contact me for further information regarding the family.

This is still needed critically

This female teenager has found a great placement at a home where her friend also lives. She is in need of a full sized mattress. She already has the platform/bed frame so no box spring is needed. We hope this will be the final touch to help her feel comfortable at her new home.
