Story

•
3 Children

The mother and father grew up in the foster care system. The mother was to be adopted by her foster mother until she unexpectedly died. The mother and father ended up leaving foster care and moved together and had several children. With no true adult to teach them life skills, the parents have done their best to figure out how to navigate life together. Currently, the family lives in Alabaster and have asked the Department for help to provide their children with new beds so they can sleep comfortably. The 3 children have been sharing a small bunk bed, and the caseworker has noticed that it seems worn and uncomfortable. Due to recent changes in employment, the parents have been working hard to save money, but it is difficult. The beds would provide the children with a safe, warm, comforting place to lay their heads at night. We want nothing more than for these children to remain with their loving parents and break generational cycles of involvement with DHR.

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.
