The Bridge

This father and son have relocated to Clark County in the last year or so. The father works full time until recently when he was terminated for causes that were not for lack of work ethic or willingness to work. Father and son have an apartment however the father does not have a bed. The child does. A twin/full or queen bed should be able to fit comfortably in the room.

This family is one of two that live in a home together. The adult women are sisters whom live together with their children. The families do not have a stove, washer, or dryer. They have been cooking on a hot plate. The family does not have much support from the children`s fathers or their family. The family does not have living room furniture either and could benefit from any help at this time.

This mother recently obtained new housing for her family and was able to have her child returned to her. She is searching for items to aide in this transition. The family is in need of a bed frame for a queen size bed, queen size sheets, and bath towels (regular and wash size). These items are for her 15 year old son. These items will ensure the child has a safe and comfortable environment to thrive in.

Our Kindergarten student (6 year old) needs help getting transported home from school. Her mother is a single mother of 5 kids (ages: 11,8,6,3 & 1). The two older siblings attend school in a different district and receive transportation. Our Kindergarten student has many special needs (speech; OT/PT; and academics)- so being at school is a priority! Unfortunately, due to PM transportation barriers she misses quite a bit.

Mom always has to search for someone to pick up our Kindergarten student or has to walk to school with the two youngest which is almost 1.5 miles. This is very difficult for her - especially when the weather is poor. We are trying to help our Kindergarten student get transportation home and mom stated she has a friend that would be willing to pick her up daily but often does not have gas to get there.

A family of three is to be reunited together after several months. The mother needs help securing items for the home and for her 2 children. To ensure that the family is successful and that the children thrive after being placed back with their mother, it is dire that these needs are met and that the family receives support. The baby uses diapers size 3 and similac alimentum formula.
