What is needed:
Sweet teenage girl in Shakopee, MN who requires 24-hour nursing cares in home. Mom is a single mom of 4 kids and is working hard to make ends meet, but she comes up short from some necessities for her daughter with disabilities. This young girl requires 24-hour nursing care and needs some supplies and personal needs items that are not covered by insurance and mom is struggling to provide these essential items for her cares. She needs gallon jugs of Reverse Osmosis water (can be purchased at any grocery store or Target/Walmart). She utilizes one gallon per day. She also requires baby wipes- 1 case per month for personal cares. Along with Baby Lotion and Body Wash from Target- Fragrance free and Gentle. She also requires Creamy Diaper ointment from Target- gentle and fragrance free. She utilizes quite a bit of these items every day. It would be super beneficial for the family to be able to receive a couple months or more supply of these items so the mom can focus on buying other necessities such as groceries and gas to get to and from work each day.

What Created the need:
Sweet teenage girl in Shakopee, MN that has 24 hour nursing cares in home. Mom is a single mom of 4 kids and is working hard to make ends meet, but she comes up short from some necessities. At times the nurses and other help have been paying for these things out of pocket to help, but due to staffing shortages and limited income that has been hard to maintain as well. Items could be purchased and given to the family. Or gift cards to Target/Wal-Mart/Cub Foods or other stores to purchase these items so we can go purchase all these items for her would be ideal.
