Story
The child is currently in the care of their grandfather who was granted custody following some safety concerns regarding the child's father. We are requesting sensory items for the child, clothing for the child, and cleaning supplies for the home. The child is on the Autism Spectrum and often has difficulty sleeping, which greatly impacts his school attendance. It has been observed by workers that the child enjoys being enclosed, often preferring to sleep curled up in a chair as opposed to his bed. So, we are requesting funding for a sensory compression blanket and a sensory den in hopes that it will assist the child in getting a full nights sleep, so he will be well rested to attend school daily and on time. Workers and school staff have also observed that the child is often wearing clothing that is too small for him. So, we are requesting some new clothing for him as well. The grandfather told workers that the child is very particular about clothing, so it may be best to reach out to the family to inquire about sizing and what clothes he would like to wear. Additionally, the condition of the home has been an ongoing concern since the start of this case, so we are requesting some cleaning solution the family can use to maintain household cleanliness. The family specifically requested Mr. Clean Multi-Purpose cleaner, but anything similar will work.
