The girl, who is 16 years old, has experienced frequent transitions between foster homes and relative placements throughout her life. We are actively supporting her in maintaining regular school attendance, as she faces challenges related to social anxiety and behavioral concerns. She is currently residing with a relative for a short period, tho she is planning to get custody and due to her recent mobility, she has limited clothing and underwear available. While she is making progress—attending summer school and preparing to begin a life skills program—she would greatly benefit from any assistance with clothing and personal items.

I am working with a family who has three elementary school aged children. The family has struggled with roaches and bed bugs for a while now. The family has taken their own personal efforts to treat the home, however who they have been using to spray does not seem to be helping. Funds are getting low for the family, and they have not been able to hire anyone to spray consistently. I would like to find some assistance in possibly getting at least 4 consistent treatments done for the home. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

A family of six is currently experiencing significant hardship and is in urgent need of assistance with obtaining cell phones and food. The parents of four daughters are currently homeless and lack access to a phone, which severely limits their ability to communicate with service providers, DSS, and other community resources. The communication barrier has prevented their ability to receive the support they need, however, with consistent communication the family can be provided more effective assistance.

Additionally, the family does not have access to food or water on days when community resources are unavailable. They also do not have transportation at this which has further hindered their situation.

Despite these obstacles, the family has demonstrated initiative by actively seeking out available resources and has clearly expressed a strong desire for help in order to be available for their children. Fulfillment of these needs will empower these parents to move forward in their goals and improve their well-being.

It is noted that two phones would be helpful, however, one will suffice if necessary.
