A single mother of two young children has just moved into a new home, taking a significant step toward stability and a fresh start. While the roof over their heads brings much-needed security, the family is still in need of basic household essentials to truly make the space a home where the children can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

The mother is seeking support with items such as a dinette table and four chairs, a couch, pots and pans, a microwave, hangers, a toaster, a coffee maker, and bedding (twin and full-size sheets). These everyday essentials will help create a warm, functional environment where her children can eat meals together, sleep peacefully, and begin to thrive in their new surroundings.

There is a mother who has very recently separated from her husband due to domestic violence. She is now the main provider of 3 children. She is now paying for all bills herself. The father is not helping financially. The mother recently moved into an apartment but found out that mattresses and bed frames for the children were damaged by water and mold. The mother is on one income and would greatly benefit from the bedframes and mattresses for her children.

SPANISH SPEAKING MOM. The Reunification Team is working with a single mom of two children. The mother recently was recently resourceful in finding safe housing in order to be reunified with her children. The mother is young and extremely hard working. The mother is actively working her case plan and hopes to be reunified with her children within the next few weeks. The mother has a bed for her 6-year-old and a crib for the baby. However, she has very little in order to set up the home. The mother would be greatly blessed by a bed for herself and a set of pots and pans. The mother always expresses her thanks for any help given. Thank you for your consideration with this request.

A compassionate non-relative caregiver has taken in 11-month-old twins and is struggling financially to meet their basic needs. She urgently needs two crib frames to provide safe sleep and to meet licensing requirements for financial support. The children are currently sleeping on mats on the floor. The caregiver does not have tools and has asked for assistance with building the cribs. Your help would make a huge difference in creating a safe, stable environment for these little ones. Thank you for considering this request!

The family has received the mattresses needed and the crib sheets, so the only items needed are the two crib frames.

The Reunification Team is working with a single mother of two boys. The children are 12 and 15 years old. The mother has been struggling to keep her children's behavior in line. Due to the children constantly having friends over while the mother is working, the mother has gotten complaints from neighbors, which resulted in the police visiting the home. On any given day her children would have 7-12 friends over. The mother is concerned for her son's safety since she does not know who these friends are and what they are doing while inside the home. The mother has been working long hours and doing her best to raise respectful children, but she has no control over what goes on while she is at work. The mother is requesting three "Ring Indoor Cam (newest model) — Home or business security in 1080p HD video, White". These cameras will help the mother keep an eye on her children as well as her home. Having these friends over is negatively impacting her chances of being fully reunified with her son. The mother is extremely stressed out and is slowly losing hope, she would greatly benefit from the cameras being placed her home. The mother is unable to pay for the cameras herself since all of her money is going toward rent and other bills. Thank you for all you do!

The Reunification Team is working with a single mother. The mother hit the ground running in doing all tasks needed to be reunified with her two young sons ages 5 and 3 years old. The mother was recently able to find housing and is excited to have a place to call home and make memories with her children. A request was placed with another agency to provide twin beds for the children. The mother would benefit with having a bed that would allow her to get a good night's rest and not have to sleep on an air mattress. The mother is in need of household furnishing, but for now a bed seems to be one of the most important needs. The mother always shares her appreciation in any help that is provided regardless if it is a material item or a word of encouragement.
The RT appreciates the support from CarePortal.

The Reunification Team is working with a father and son who truly exemplify what a father and child relationship should look like. The son has Cerebral Palsy and is extremely limited to what he is able to do. The father sacrifices all of his time in order to cater to the needs of his son. The father is working odd jobs because he needs to be readily available to tend to his son. Due to the father not having stable employment, he is unable to purchase items that would be crucial in his son's development. The father is extremely loving and compassionate toward his son, and his son looks at his father as if he is the only other person on the planet. The son has been improving everyday under the care of his father, and he is gaining more control of his legs, hands, arms, neck, and head. The father is requesting some activities/games that will help strengthen his sons fine motor skills. The son would truly benefit from having the following items. Melissa and Doug sound puzzles, these puzzles make sounds relating to the image as they are being inserted into their correct spot. Another item that would assist with the son's fine motor skills is the Wack a frog game made by HopeRock. Having these items would allow the son to get more practice with using his fingers and hands, they would also provide a challenge that the son needs to reach his full potential. The father would benefit from these items because it would increase the chances of his son furthering his development.

The Reunification Team is working with a single mother and her son. The little boy will be turning one years old within the next month. The mother has been able to climb her way back up from the bottom and has proven to be resilient and determined to build a better life for herself and her son. The mother just moved into a rental unit and is in desperate need of furniture. The furniture that is being requested is a full-size bed frame, full size mattress, full size sheet set, full size comforter, a crib, crib mattress, and a dresser (no more than 30 inches wide and 49 inches tall). The mother would benefit from having an actual bed because she is currently sleeping on an air mattress that is not allowing her to get a good night rest. The mother is constantly waking up with back pain and is often more tired than she was before she went to sleep. The crib would provide a safe sleeping area for her son and would give the mother peace of mind, to know her son is safe and secure. The dresser would allow the mother to organize her and her sons clothing, so that the clothing could be put away and not be stacked up on the floor, since being on the floor would make it easier for them to collect dust and become a potential tripping hazard. These items being requested will allow the mother to have a home that would promote a safe and stable living environment, which would bring her one step closer to being reunified with her son.

Thank you
