Meeting the outpouring of generosity on my facebook page by friends who want to help this family, I think the best thing we can do is stockpile them with necessities in hopes that CPS notices that the community has risen to the occassion of a being their support group...helping them get through the hard times they are experiencing.
Culturally, their eating habits are a little different from the normal American cuisine, but beef, vegtables and fruit seem to be a staple that we're all familiar with. With the monetary donations received yesterday,a gift card from their nearest grocery store, (not knowing if they have a vehicle, it's the best choice), Save-A-lot on Oneida Street will be purchased for them, this way they can purchase other items of necessity; diapers, cleaning items, etc.
The other thing that I'm concerned about is the thin mattress in the child's room....hoping that a local store will donate a twin size bed and mattress so (s)he can find comfort while (s)he drifts off to sleep...
The effort to help this family will continue...and then seeking out others who are in desperate need in our community will be the mission shared with many.
If you feel as though you would like to be a part of this community effort, remember it takes a village to raise a child.....contact me via facebook or email JusticeDenied13501@gmail.com ....
Thanks!
