Story
A grandmother provides care for her adult daughter with a mental disability and is in the process of getting a court appointment guardianship of her 11 month old granddaughter. The family has tight finances and is unable to meet some of their current needs. The family is currently using an out of date infant carrier for the child. They are needing an in date convertible car seat. The family is also reliant on two electric heaters to heat the entire home and it is not doing so effectively. The family is in need of 1-2 electric heaters to heat the other rooms in the home. The floors in the home are also breaking down and sagging in areas. The linoleum has been torn up in places and has left jagged edges which are unsafe for the infant which has just started crawling. The landlord has been allowing the family to do repairs to the home in lieu of paying rent, but the family has been unable to get the money to fix the floors as needed. The main areas of need are the living room and adjoining room. The landlord has also requested the family start paying rent again despite the repairs not being completed. Any help we can get for the family will be greatly appreciated!
