A female child was removed from parental care and placed with paternal grandparents. The grandparents could benefit from a bed frame, mattress, pillow, and blankets for the child. The grandparents also have care of their three other grandchildren. The child remaining in the care of her grandparents would allow her to maintain a placement where she can see her siblings and cousin on a regular basis as they also reside in the home. The child came to grandparents from Georgia and does not have a lot of personal items due to this.

The family consists of two children 6 and 13 years old. The family immigrated to the US. The family is low income and does not have much food in the home. The family has some canned goods but the fridge is nearly empty. The family is not aware of resources in Hamilton County. FCM will be providing a resource packet for food pantries but if anyone can assist with groceries in the meantime that would be appreciated.

I have a 18 year old youth who just moved into her own apartment. Youth is in need to household essentials and furniture. Youth would like assistance with a queen size bed, frame and mattress, dresser, and hangers. As well as kitchen and bathroom items. Youth would help with a broom dustpan, mop, mop bucket, cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, couch, chair, and lamp.

An aunt is placement for her 3-month-old niece. She is requesting help with formula. The infant takes Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Ready-to-Feed.

A young and underage mother is in need of a replacement crib, mattress, and fitted sheet. The duo is currently living with extended family after their removal from their family's care. Mother expresses difficulty in obtaining old crib due to distance.

Mother reached out to advocate requesting help with a washer & dryer. She is a single mother of children ages 11, 13, 14, 15 and 17 along with two adult children. She was renting these appliances from a company and could not keep up and they removed them from the home. This request would help ensure the children have clean clothing and improve their hygiene and wellbeing.

A young and underage mother is in need of a new replacement high-chair or booster seat for her 9-month-old infant. The duo is currently living with extended family after their removal from their primary family's care. Mother expresses their current high-chair lacks safety belts and mechanisms.

A 17-year-old female was recently placed with her 22-year-old sister. Both young ladies have been in the child welfare system for many years, and the older sister has successfully completed the Collaborative Care program. She now works full-time, has her own home, and is raising her own young child.

Placement is happy to have her sister in her home and has been proactive with ensuring her sister is getting all the services and assistance she needs as she begins transitioning into adulthood. However, her own income is limited, and she is unable to purchase a bed needed for her sister. Having a bed would ensure that the younger sister has a safe and appropriate sleeping area, enabling her to stay in placement with her sister. The younger sister (ward) also struggles with bed wetting, which is being addressed medically and therapeutically. Mattress covers and bedding are also needed.

The family is in need of a bunk bed so the children can share a room. There are 3 children between 2 bedrooms. The 2 girl children would benefit from the bunk bed so they are able to share a room and maintain their living arrangements. The children are living with an Aunt and this would help maintain their placement.

The family consists of a Father and two teen children. The family is low income and does not have much food in the home. The family has some nonperishable items but not much food in the fridge or freezer. Father reported they could use some meat so he can make meals for the family or items that the children are able to prepare for themselves when he is working. Father would appreciate any help he could get at this time.
