Request: #235354 • Urgency: Normal • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Akron • State: Ohio • Zip Code: 44307 • County: Summit • Submitted By: Summit County Children Services

Story

•
1 Child 1 Adult

This request was entered into the portal originally in March '25. However, it was closed due to no responses. The need has not been met, and assistance with the flooring is still needed.

This request is related to a child who is paralyzed and wheel chair dependent. The condition of the flooring of the home is poor; the carpet is old and stretched out, leaving rolls on the floor. This makes it extremely difficult for the child to move around in the home. By having assistance with the flooring being replaced, this will make the home safer for the child and allow them to be more independent. The caregiver was quoted $5,374.35 in materials and labor. The caregiver is asking for assistance as they are concerned about the child's safety in their home without the repairs completed and due to the costs associated. Due to the child's high medical needs, obtaining a placement that was able to assist the child was difficult. This child was not always wheel chair dependent and is the result of an accident. The labor was quoted at approximately $2,500.00. If someone would be able to assist with the labor portion, that would cut the cost in half. The caregiver does not have to go through the company with the quote provided, but wanted to get an idea of how much the fixes would cost. If someone would be able to assist with the labor or the materials separately, this would cut the cost in half.

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.
