This is a grandmother and grandfather who have taken custody of 5 of their grandchildren due to their parents losing custody via DCF. The grandmother is able to work and does full time at Publix. She also runs a small handmade jewelry business. but the grandfather is physically disabled and trying to get SS benefits. He takes care of the home and the children while the grandmother works. The 3 mattresses burned due to a small ember flying in through an open door. Their income barely covers their expenses, and their support system is unable to get these mattresses for them.

These mattresses do not necessarily need to be brand new, but if they are not new, lightly used would be preferable!

Support Needed for Our Student Self-Sufficiency Home

We are preparing to expand our Student Self-Sufficiency Home, a safe and supportive space for homeless and unaccompanied youth in Clay County who are 18 years old and working hard to finish high school. This home will provide stability, dignity, and the foundation they need to succeed—and we need your help to make it possible.

As we expand to serve more students, we are seeking donations of household items to furnish and equip the space. Currently, we are in need of:

2 refrigerators, 3 desks and 3 desk chairs, 1 Full Sized bed, 1 side table, and 1 dresser, 2 mattresses, 1 television, 6 pillows, 3 full-sized sheet sets and 3 comforters, 3 sets of towels and washcloths, 3 Set of Mattress Protectors, Household essentials such as laundry detergent, soap, paper products, and cleaning supplies

We kindly ask that all furniture be new or gently used, and linens and personal items (such as comforters, towels, and pillows) be new for hygiene and safety purposes.

If you’d like to support but do not have items to donate, gift cards to stores like Walmart, Target, or Amazon are also incredibly helpful and appreciated.

With your help, we can provide a safe and welcoming home for students who are determined to overcome challenges and finish their education. Thank you for being part of the solution!

We urgently need a toddler bed for this non-judicial case. We have worked with this family in the past with getting them some other items like clothing. This family has been struggling but mom is doing her best and has gotten other support for things like housing and a washer and dryer. Since the case is under multiple investigations, there is need for the extra bed since the sleeping conditions need to be monitored. Does not need to be new.

Please assist this young mother and father of one. The father lives across town and would benefit from a gift to uber to and from the mother's home in order to visit his young child, he does not have reliable transportation. The mother does have a car but has to work, attend her own doctor appointments, and counseling appointments. Somedays, the mother does not have energy to transport the father as she is battling postpartum depression and simply lacks the energy some days to transport the child to the father or the father to the child for visitation.

Please assist this single mother of three with a gift card to help her purchase cleaning supplies and a laundry card to do laundry in her complex. The mother's home is in disarray and the mother could use financial assistance for the ability to wash soiled clothes (causing the home to smell), purchase detergent, bleach, garbage bags and load money on to her laundry card in order to wash clothes.

The grandmother has welcomed her grandson into her home. Resulting in her to not be able to gain employment as she is the caregiver to an infant. The grandmother is asking for assistance with food for the household. The grandmother is not picky and only requests no pork. While the child enjoys beech nut purees of sweet potatoes and carrots. It is suspected that the child may be allergic to bananas, so please no bananas.

I thank you for your generosity. As does this family.

This family is seeking assistance with bedding, including mattress toppers, pillows, blankets, and sheets. This family has 3 young teenagers and two parents. The family is hardworking, with both parents and the oldest sibling working, and the family struggles to purchase extra things including bedding. These bedding supplies will help the family improve their sleep, which will boost their energy throughout the day, improve focus, and provide comfort. The family already has mattresses which have been donated to them, and are seeking some extra support. We are hoping for blankets/sheets that are lightweight and good for the summer, if possible. Thank you!

The mother is reunified with her child. She recently moved into a larger apartment and does not have any livingroom furniture. She would greatly benefit from a couch and loveseat/chair, anything to help make her livingroom come alive!

Client is sixteen, living with her mother, stepfather, and younger sibling in a small, two-bedroom apartment. Her days begin before sunrise, at a local fast-food restaurant. She's eight months pregnant with her first child. The father, her ex-boyfriend has made it clear early on that he won’t be involved once the baby is born. That decision, while heartbreaking, forced client to face the reality of single motherhood far sooner than she ever imagined. Her family, already struggling to make ends meet, is doing the best they can. Every dollar client earns goes toward saving for the baby's diapers, a secondhand crib, and doctor visits. Still, it never seems like enough. Client recently learned that her job doesn’t offer paid maternity leave. Once the baby arrives, she’ll have to stop working for at least a few weeks, without income. The fear of how she’ll afford baby formula or diapers, and wipes is growing heavier by the day. She’s strong, determined, and doing everything she can to prepare for motherhood while staying in school. But despite her resilience, client is running out of options. She needs support, access to resources, financial aid, and programs that can help her, and her child start on stable ground. All she wants is a chance to give her baby a better life.

Single mother just moved into her own apartment with her teenage son. She is in need of a queen size bed because son is outgrowing the smaller bed he has. Mother has a job but is pays the bills and there is no money left to buy extras.

There's a young adult on my caseload who has aged out of foster care and is now experiencing employment barriers due to the need of a new car tire. This young adult has completed a CNA course and is slated to obtain employment in that field that is a bit of a distance to drive. Additionally, this young adult has a 5-year-old son that she also transports to and from school and having reliable and safe transportation is vital to meet the needs of this young adult and family. Further, this barrier also limits their ability to obtain and maintain consistent and stable employment which is a requirement of remaining in Extended Foster Care. Providing the young adult with a new tire will allow them to continue to be mobile, safely and accomplish their goals both in extended foster care and in life.
