Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing
I am working with a mother and father, who have a young child- and are struggling with lack of financial resources to replace the door to their home. They currently do not have a front door- it is entirely broken, and just props up on the frame at night but is not at all attached. It is a safety hazard to the family to not have a door to their home, putting them at risk of harm. Any assistance that could be provided to this family to either obtain a new door, or help them put the door in would be greatly appreciated.

I am working with a single mother of 7 children, with minimal support and money- who is in need of child proofing door handles. Some door alarms have already been provided to her, but she could benefit from the door handles as well- to keep her young children inside at all times- as some of her children are very young.

Help Remove an Educational Barrier for a Child
A student here transferred to us from another state after his mother passed away from cancer. Within a year or a little more, his father was found deceased in March and has already been cremated. He is living with his grandparents. They are disabled and financially do not have the means to pay the cremation cost. Due to the inability to pay the cremation fee, the father's remains have remained in a box at the funeral home. They have deposited $400 against the overall cost of $2,500. Grandmother has also shared they were looking for an urn for his remains.
