Request: #213852 • Urgency: High • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: San Antonio • State: Texas • Zip Code: 78251 • County: Bexar • Submitted By: Texas Grandparents Raising Grandchildren • Lead Church: United By Grace Baptist Church

Story

3 Children 1 Adult

We have a 74 year old grandmother who is raising her 3 grandchildren, a boy age 16, a girl age 15, and another boy age 13. She has raised these 3 grandchildren for about 8 years when the children's mother brought them to the grandparents home for spring break and never returned to pick them up. The grandmother has legally adopted them, but does not receive any monthly monies or funds from the state to support these kids. She makes about $4200 a month which includes social security and retirement benefits from her and deceased husband accounts. She would like to request 1 set of twin bunk beds for the boys as the current set is old, dilapidated, falling apart , and the boys have outgrown the beds.

Updated on February 14, 2025 by an Agency Worker
2/13/24 spoke with Tim Son and Ernesto Flores regarding bed request. Initial bed request was for 1 twin sized bunk bed to include all linens. Upon further review, the initial bed delivery was declined because of the size of the boys, one being 6'2", the other being overweight and both Tim and Ernest thought that the beds they were to deliver would not support the boys over time. Ernie is in Houston, TX for the weekend and is scouting around for a heavier, sturdier bunk bed to purchase for the boys. He will keep me updated when/if they find something.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

Dear community, we are reaching out to support a hardworking single mother of four who has recently lost her full-time job cleaning hotel rooms due to a drop in bookings. She is now only working two days a week and actively looking for more work. Her job search has been especially difficult due to her legal status in this country, but despite the challenges, she remains hopeful. She is not currently receiving food stamps or child support, which has made it even harder to stay afloat.

She is now short on rent for July 1st, especially after falling behind on her electricity bill. Our organization is stepping in to help with groceries, and basic needs — and we are also working to help her find additional resources. We are doing everything we can to help her and her children stay in their apartment and avoid eviction.

If you’re able to support with some of the rent, no matter how small, it would make a real difference for this family during this difficult time. Thank you for your compassion and solidarity.
