The family shared a home with the Mom's uncle. During the pandemic, her uncle passed away from COVID-19. They were unable to keep up with rent, evicted the following year and were homeless.
Just this month, they were able to move into a family shelter but then, Dad was in an accident on the job and was laid off.
All the children, ages one through 15, could use clothes and shoes for church and school.
Their seven-year-old daughter would love a dollhouse. Their six-year-old daughter would love a doll. Toys for their one-year-old son would be appreciated.
Dad could use tools, toiletries and a buzzer to cut his hair. Mom would appreciate toiletries, bedding, towels and rugs.
In the spirit of laulima, our many hands working together, we can help this struggling family have a brighter holiday season.
