They moved into a home with help of non profit however the HVAC leaked and black mold formed that home had to be gutted and family had to move into hotel for the next two months. They are also in need of car registration and insurance but have had such difficulty with finances with home disaster unable to get the necessary coverage for auto. Mother is studying billing and coding and hopes to get job soon. Father is elderly with health issues.

A mother and her 3 small children (11,6 and 5mths) are residing with their aunt and her husband in a 2 bedroom mobile home. The A/C has stopped working in the home where the aunt watches the baby each day while her husband and neice work full-time. They are trying to save up to fix the A/C but it is taking them time as they do not get paid enough and have to pay other bills too. The other 2 children will be finished with school this week and will also be at home with the aunt and baby each day while A/C is not working. The family is need of box fans or possibly a window A/C unit until they can get the A/C fixed in the home.

This is a need for help with rent. The family has part of the rent but due to medical bills, cannot pay the amount. The adoptive Mom had experienced medical bills and prescription bills this month that caused her to use her rent money to meet those needs. She has a portion of her rent but is requesting assistance with the remaining amount. She will submit a letter from her landlord/apartment management that states the amount due that is remaining. She will be notified that this is a one time help and cannot be requested again at a later date. Update as of 5/19: Adoptive Mom experienced a Medical Emergency over the weekend and is in the hospital.

The family is asking that some volunteers or a company come out and help trim the trees in their front yard and they are over growing and this can cause some concern during hurricane season.

I have a grandmother who is currently caring for her 9 grandchildren. The grandmother needs assistance with ensuring that each child has a proper place to sleep. The grandmother needs 3 twin size beds or two bunk beds to accommodate her grandchildren. Please help this grandmother as she is not receiving financial assistance from the parents to care for the children. No child deserves to sleep on the floor.

A single mother of two recently secured an apartment for herself and her children. Fortunately, she has received support from members of the community to help with basic necessities while she works to establish stable employment. However, she has been unable to obtain beds and a couch for the apartment. Currently, the family is sleeping on air mattresses, which are uncomfortable and sometimes prevent the teenagers from getting restful sleep. The mother is seeking assistance to furnish her home with 2 twin beds, a queen bed, and couches for her children. Providing these essentials would help transform their apartment into a comfortable and welcoming home, allowing the family to rest peacefully at night.

A young 20-year-old Hispanic Female is pregnant. She is expected to give birth July 2nd, 2025, to a baby girl. She is in need of assistance of getting a car seat for her newborn baby. In addition, mother could use assistance with having some diapers/wipes and baby clothes when she gives birth to her newborn daughter. If mother was to get assistant, this can strengthen her ability to care for her daughter when she arrives home from hospital.

The infant was recently placed with the paternal grandmother who isn’t employed and took in the child to avoid the child being placed in foster care.

The family is in need child proof locks for the cabinets in the kitchen and bathroom. They need child proof doorknobs, child proof wall plugs, and baby gate, and medication lock box. If the needs are met this will preserve the placement.

PAL (Preparation for Adult Living) is taking 20 youth to a college conference. This conference allows foster youth to hear from youth with lived experience who are currently attending college, benefits for attending college, and getting youth excited for their future. We are in need of additional assistance for some items needed:

• 20 beach towels
• Snacks for 20 youth for three days
• Hygiene packs (body wash, shampoo and conditioner, wash cloth, mouth wash and deodorant)
