Both mom and children all struggle with autism and many other diagnoses. Over the years the home has collected trash and antiques that have not been clean properly and since then the home have roaches. The entire home has been infested with roaches and is need of a junk removal and deep cleaning. In the room one of the youth sleeps in is filled to the window seal with trash example pizza boxes, coke bottles, and different wrappers. The home is deemed unsafe for the children. The grandmother has adult protective services in the home, but APS have refused to come into the home due to the home having flees from the family allowing stary cats in the home. The mother has expressed due to the children having severe autism and behavioral problems she is not able to clean the home. The mother has said the home has years on trash in it and she is currently trying to get it clean since DCS is involved. DCS has implemented service in the home to assist with cleanliness of the home, but the service only does light cleaning. The family is in need of a deep cleaning and junk removal, so the kids are able to remain in the home since the family do not have any resources to get the home clean.

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.
