~grandma again~ --- 12 years ago -

I have a single mom who has several children. She needs a crib and a toddler bed. Anyone have one of either or both they would like to donate to help out? 

helpneeded --- 12 years ago -

I have a toddler bed with mattress and an extra crib mattress that are like new that she can have. I'm in league city now though. 

~grandma again~ --- 12 years ago -

dang..i can not go all the way to league city. sorry but thank you for the offer.

i found one on kys for $40 for the toddler bed and it is in cleveland. i am trying to check it out. 

helpneeded --- 12 years ago -

Sorry. I wish I could take it to you so you wouldn't have to pay, but my husband's car broke down last week so he is temporarily using mine until we get his fixed. If by next week she still needs these items let me know and if our car is fixed, I will gladly take them to you. 

ladybeachbum --- 12 years ago -

Helpneeded, I have to go that way this weekend. I could pick it up for the family. 

helpneeded --- 12 years ago -

Oh good! I'll pm you my phone number :) 

~grandma again~ --- 12 years ago -

yay for ladybeachbum! 

ladybeachbum --- 12 years ago -

Yea! for the toddler to have her own bed.
What size sheets, etc. does it need? 

blueherron4 --- 12 years ago -

You rock ladybeachbum.You too Grandma Again 

FabFive --- 12 years ago -

Toddler beds take crib sheets. You guys are such a blessing to others. 

helpneeded --- 12 years ago -

I'm including the sheets :) 

ladybeachbum --- 12 years ago -

Thanks! KU has always been full of angels... 

ladybeachbum --- 12 years ago -

Now to find a baby bed. 

Grammybob1 --- 12 years ago -

I have a couple of crib sheets I could donate. Still need the crib. 

Perfection --- 12 years ago -

I hate to be a downer, but honestly, if she is on Medicaid she can get with her case manager and a baby crib would be provided.

Typically they will supply just about anything for a baby. 

FabFive --- 12 years ago -

Sometimes you need cribs in multiple places. Sometimes it is for the baby sitters house, the grandmas house, or even one upstairs and one downstairs. If she has several children she needs options on where to lay the baby because different parts if the house are busier at different times of day. 

ladybeachbum --- 12 years ago -

Perfection, with 6 kids and no car, I doubt she goes many places. I will ask her and if she is on medicaid or whatever it is, I can take her. This person has come from a rough marriage and is doing the best she can for her children. I'll take care of what is needed and save your tax dollars. I have some really special angels helping me. 

Perfection --- 12 years ago -

I have posted links before where everything can be applied online and typically case workers for the community based organizations will even go to the homes to pick them up if needed.

The emphasis at the State is to get people on to medicaid/food stamps/assistance so they are pulling out all stops to eliminate barriers.

The health plans that supply the cribs do so out of their administrative budgets, not out of their State payments. They typically have outcome requirements to meet and providing a few easy necessities for babies is inexpensive or free for them to do. 

ladybeachbum --- 12 years ago -

FabFive, there is a two year old and a baby, neither have a bed. I am picking up the toddler bed and looking for a baby bed. There are no grandparents :( If anyone on here knows me, I am very cautious on the people I pick and this person has more than verified her situation to me. She is a KUer. 

AngieKaye --- 12 years ago -

i have some gently used baby stuff, LB or GA let me know if sunday works, I have a huge party tonight and working tomorrow. 

ladybeachbum --- 12 years ago -

Sent you a pm, AK. I am not sure about Sunday but I could do Monday. 

ladybeachbum --- 12 years ago -

Okay, baby bed is taken care of! God is good....thank you everyone. This Mom and her 6 children really need a helping hand and restore their smiles. 

~grandma again~ --- 12 years ago -

ladybeachbum, do you have a list of sizes or desires for these kids for Christmas. does she need her pantry stocked. how about transportation to get some help from places out there?

please tell us what she needs help with. 

FabFive --- 12 years ago -

I believe you Lady. I was trying to state the reasons why a person might need more than one crib. I am so sad the baby and toddler don't have a bed. What blessings. I wish I had more baby stuff to give but I have given almost all of mine away, except the stuff I am still using. Does she need clothes? I might have some nice stuff, depending on age and gender. 

ladybeachbum --- 12 years ago -

Please pm me for sizes. 

~grandma again~ --- 12 years ago -

sizes for the 10 and 12 year old? 

FabFive --- 12 years ago -

I am going to go through my stuff today. I will PM you my number. 

ladybeachbum --- 12 years ago -

FabFive, she is so happy that beds are coming. These children have been through a lot and whatever I can do to help them will be a blessing.
As soon as she gets transportation, she will get any of the agency aid she is qualified to get. She is shy and scared and that makes it hard to face these things alone. A good friend is helping me know the agencies to seek help.
For the grace of God, I have never been in a situation like this and if I can just help a little, it's my Christmas blessing.
Thank you everyone! 

Work in Progress --- 12 years ago -

I have high chair left, but it's pretty well worn. It is plastic, so it's clean. . .but not so pretty anymore.

Other than that. . . I'm running pretty low on baby gear. I've been on a serious purge as of late. 

Work in Progress --- 12 years ago -

I do have a complete bedding set for a crib or toddler bed that is unisex. But it sounds like you have that already. 

ladybeachbum --- 12 years ago -

WIP, no I do still need the bedding set. I was just looking online for it. 

ladybeachbum --- 12 years ago -

For anyone wanting information please pm me or GA. I have to get a serious problem solved for my business but will be back to check soon.
I thank you for helping this family. 

Work in Progress --- 12 years ago -

Oh, I misunderstood. You can have the bedding today if you like. Is there somewhere I should drop it off?

GA, I'll PM you my number. 

~grandma again~ --- 12 years ago -

i am about to leave to run some errands but will check back for messages when i return.

wip, i sent you a pm. 

ladybeachbum --- 12 years ago -

Back after my work crisis.
If anyone wants to know about this family, just PM me or GA. 

mom2dx --- 12 years ago -

We have a crib and dresser with hutch that we were looking to sell. I've been too lazy to get around to listing them anywhere. I am willing to donate them but they would need a crib mattress... I do have sheets she can have, though. 

mom2dx --- 12 years ago -

LBB, I pm'ed you... 

ladybeachbum --- 12 years ago -

Thank you, Mom2dx. I think we have an additional mattress and if not, I will get one. 

ladybeachbum --- 12 years ago -

OMG! I am so happy! Please remember when you are adopting children that you can give them gently used clothes, too. Of course, my family will have toys and new clothes but to the ones donating gently used, they will be blessed. They need them now so I will get them to them as a blessing not Christmas gifts.
Again, thank you for everyone that has and will donate. 

blueherron4 --- 12 years ago -

No the welfare does not help with beds and things like that. My oldes granddaughter just had a baby and they told her to go to places like HAAM.And with her being a new mother they will pay her $93.00 each month and food stamps also WIC.
