Opportunities for Kindness
Family leaving traumatic situation needs support.
A single-parent household with three children recently established independence after leaving a traumatic situation. The family needs a lot of support to get back on their feet. It would be extremely helpful if we could support by offering grocery and gas cards. Because of the cost of food and gas, Kroger gift cards would be ideal so that funds stretch farther without using too much gasoline in transit.
Household Items and Gift Cards Needed
Local family is in need of 2 full bed frames, a dresser and a tv stand. Also seeking gift cards to help offset expenses to be able to pay rent and utilities.
