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.

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.

You have helped this family before. This family needs assistance with groceries. In the past, the family has gone to food pantries but reported they do not provide enough food to feed everyone and it is only on certain days. This is challenging due to issues with transportation. They have to borrow a vehicle. There are four adults in the household. One of the adults is on disability and the other has medical problems and therefore cannot work. There are two children in the household. Due to health issues and transportation issues, it would be easier for them to have groceries brought to them. They like hamburger, chicken nuggets, pizza bites, veggies, bread, eggs, sugar, juice, milk, cheese, pasta. Guardian reported they like anything and are not picky, they just want meals, snacks and water). Whatever provided would be helpful. They also are in need of baby things like (Huggies little mover size 4), Children's Tylenol liquid grape Flavor, and Huggies wipes. The child has reactions to things, so Huggies is the only brand they use.

Hello! We have a family who could use some help with groceries. This family is a placement for one of our children and need a little relief financially with the child being home for the summer.
