I have a client who is trying to babysit throughout the week to earn income. She and I are both working on other job possibilities, but there are barriers we have to overcome. In the mean time we are focusing on what she is able to do for income. In order to get more babysitting opportunities she is wondering if anyone has any used items like a kids table for activities, baby gates (she would need at least 2 and the max width would need to be 36", but none that drill in since she is renting), and outlet covers for the kiddos safety. These items will help her keep her own kids safe as well in the home!

I am working with a client who is in need of financial support. She was recently hurt at work and had to get a doctor's note. Human Resources at her job is taking their time processing the paperwork and because of this she has not been able to return to work for the last 3 weeks (she does not have short term disability benefits at this time). On top of that her food stamp benefits have been cut down and she is unable to afford food and gas for the month. In order to stabilize her while she waits for her job to get things in order for her to return to work, a food gift card and a gas gift card would be helpful to get her through the next couple of weeks!

A single mom in our community has a five year old daughter, who is SO excited to begin school in the fall! She is extremely social, imaginative, bright, and kind. Her mom is extremely hard-working, and picks up as many shifts at work as she possibly can. She is seeking for her daughter to be able to attend an afterschool program so that she may continue working overtime to provide for her family, while also having the peace of mind that her daughter is in a safe and caring environment, as the school day is shorter than her daughter’s previous daycare schedule. However, the registration fee for the afterschool program comes with a steep price tag of $80. There are limited spots that fill up quickly, and the mom has been devoting her earnings towards other bills and necessities for the family and does not currently have these funds available. Having this need met would help her to continue to build the life she is working toward for her family. Thanks in advance for caring for this need!

My client and her 2 year-old son just moved into a trailer/mobile home after living out of their car and in emergency shelter spaces. No that this family has been provided with safe house, my client is working to maintain stability in a rent-to-own program that will eventually provide her with the title to her home Due to her recent living situations, my client does not have any furniture or household items; although she is working with me and various other resources to secure her tangible needs, mattresses and bed are extremely hard to come by.
My client is asking for assistance in getting mattresses and frames for both herself and her son. We are requesting one twin mattress and frame (this will serve her son over the next few years as he grows) and one queen mattress and bed frame. Although my client does not have any special preferences for herself, she feel in love with this bed frame for her son: Go To Link She would love to be able to provide this to him and is working on saving up her money to do so.
We recognize that mattress and frames are expensive, big ticket items, so we appreciate any help or single item that can be provided. My client wanted to thank you all in advance for the work you do and help you give to families.

I have a six-year-old girl who is in a relative placement with her two younger sisters who are five and three and they all share a room. The six-year-old's bedframe recently broke and the relative has started to look for a short bunkbed or a trundle for the six-year-old and the five-year-old girls because their current beds aren't sustainable as they are growing and getting older. The relative needs assistance in being able to afford a new bedframe and twin beds. The girls are significantly above weight for their age group and the trundle bed can provide more space for them to have in their rooms, as well as additional support as they continue to grow.
Below are links to trundle beds and twin mattress that are small enough to fit into their room. Go To Link

I’m requesting assistance to help a family restore their energy service. Their electricity has been shut off for more than six weeks, following the recent heat wave. They have already exhausted their DHS energy assistance for the fiscal year, and 211 currently has no available funds. This family urgently needs their power restored for their health and safety. To restore services: $634.37. Full balance due is $834.33.

A young family is struggling through intense heat—there’s a two-year-old child and a pregnant mother who stay home all day without relief. With no air conditioning, the sweltering temperatures are becoming dangerous, putting both the toddler and unborn baby at serious risk of heat-related illness. A Midea 12,000 BTU Smart Inverter Air Conditioner with heat and dehumidifier would completely change their lives, providing comfort, safety, and peace of mind. Please consider donating to help give them the simple gift of breathable air and protection during this critical time.
