I am a Samaritas Child and Family staff member currently working with a young mom and her two Autistic/Nonverbal children. This mother recently moved from a Domestic Violence Shelter into her own apartment. She is lacking a kitchen table and chairs. As of now, the family is eating at the small kid's table but would appreciate assistance with purchasing a table and 4 chairs to improve the livability of the home. This would be appreciated and would be found to be very helpful! Sincerely, Samaritas Staff.

I am a staff member at Samaritas Child and Family Services currently working with a young mom and her two Autistic/Nonverbal children. She recently moved from a Domestic Violence shelter to her own apartment. The living area of the apartment is on the second floor. When you enter her apartment, there is a flight of stairs to climb to enter the living area. To prevent the children from falling down the stairs, the mother is requesting a child proof baby gate she located on amazon for 69.99 plus tax. She would greatly appreciate the assistance with this safety item. Sincerely, Samaritas staff.

I am hoping to gather some dorm supplies for a student in great need. She has been working so hard to build this next chapter to be her best yet! I am so proud of what she has overcome to get here and can't wait to see where life takes her!! This young lady has been out on her own without her parents for the majority of her senior year and still continued to work full time while attending high school, participating in sports and graduating with honors, finishing in the top 21 in her class! She has been awarded more than $10,000 in college scholarships to put toward her nursing degree!

Her hopes for her dorm room include: Mini Fridge (must be 5.5 cubic feet/1.5 amps or less), Air Purifier, Oil Diffuser, Stick type vaccum, Over the door type mirror, 2 wide plastic drawers for under her bunk, Wire rack shelving - something to hold fridge & microwave, Twin XL bedding - mattress pad & protector, sheets/comforter, etc. College school supplies - pens, pencils, highlighters, etc.
