Baby Playpen

There is a young child in the community who is experiencing delays in her mobility skills related to a prolonged hospitalization. It is being recommended that she spend a lot of time working on tummy time and crawling, but she requires oxygen and will therefore need to remain in a relatively confined area, so as not to tangle or detach her oxygen tubing. As she becomes more mobile, it is important to her family that she avoid other potential dangers in the home. We are requesting the baby playpen gate listed below (or something similar) to support the family in creating a safe space to play for this sweet toddler. Playgate requested: https://www.amazon.com/Foldable-Dripex-Handlers-Activity-Breathable/dp/B09ST7QSV6/ref=sr_1_27_sspa?crid=2JAMM610YJBBU&keywords=baby%2Bplaypen&qid=1670015004&sprefix=baby%2B%2Caps%2C133&sr=8-27-spons&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzNDNITVQ1S0FZUFZXJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzM0MTA3MUxLWlhJNEpXM0ZETyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNjExMjkzM0tYOEhKR09TMEc3RyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX210ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU&th=1

Shoes for Ankle Braces

There is a 2 year old boy in the community who uses orthotic braces to help him walk with improved alignment. He is in need of this specific type of shoe to fit over his orthotics and support his feet and ankles optimally. These are more expensive than the family is comfortable paying for shoes at this time and the family has not had any luck finding an appropriate pair second hand. Details of the shoes are listed below. If someone in the community is willing to purchase the shoes for $39.99 +$5 shipping, they could be shipped to Pearson Early Learning Center in Shakopee. Thank you for considering helping this awesome kid and his family!

Stove/range

A Shakopee family of four has been without a stove/range for over a month which has made it very hard to cook and feed their family. Warner Stellian in Shakopee has an electric range on sale for $549.99 https://www.warnersstellian.com/product/11000/ge-jb256dmww. There is an $80 fee for hook-up/cord/installation. They would not be able to deliver until around 11/19/22. If anyone is capable of filling this need and anyone able to deliver and install sooner that would be amazing for this family. They would just be appreciative of any help.

Art supplies

Middle school girl is in need of some art supplies, to use at home, when not in school. This is an activity that she enjoys in her free time, as she doesn't have many other social activities. Parents are unable to provide these "extras" for her at this time. She likes to paint on a small canvas. She is in need of canvases, paints and brushes. These items can be dropped off at the office ,at East Middle School in Shakopee. Or a gift card to a local store that sells these products would be great too.
