2 new additions today............ not what you think, they dont have fur, they are brother and sister, a little boy we had for 2 years as a foster child, 3 months ago he went home to his mommy who did it again, for the 4th time, he is back in care at my house.... this time his sister came with him to keep them together. anthony is 4 years old and has many problems, including asthma, and Klinefelters syndrome . http://www.aaa.dk/TURNER/ENGELSK/KLINEN.HTM when we took him home 3 months ago, my van was loaded from top to bottom with all his clothes and toys that he accumulated over the years, . he and his sister each came back today with 2 outfits each 1 pair of sneakers and a coat. usually we are called days or weeks before a placement and can plan to shop. we got the call today and an hour or so later they were here. as some of you know, we are buying a house. settlement is feb 23rd all of our money is tied up in that and keeping this house going yet and food on the table. Knowing all this I couldnt say no I cant take them.. ..so here I have 2 little children ages 4 and 8 with no clothes.....I put an ad on freecycle for some, but no luck yet....... so if you can, keep them in your prayers I know it will all work out somehow :) I will get some pics tomorrow of everyone and the furbabies....the little girl is afraid of them so we have to take this slow with her....... thank you for reading....... |
Glad to hear they are in a better home. Also try looking on craigslist.org. They have both a free and wanted section, that maybe you should check out. |
thank you, I did that too, no luck |
Ahhh...bless your heart! I'm so glad those precious little children are in a loving home! My suggestion as to needing clothes would be to call around to churches in your area with your story. I think you'd find many are willing to help! |
What sizes do they need? I may have some boy clothes. Surely lots more mothers on here with young kids have clothes their children have outgrown too. |
I will try churches tomorrow. the girl wears a 7/8 the boy wears a size 5 that would be great!... I did pick up a coat for him from a freecycler ...the one he had on was too many sizes too big ( not the one i sent with him when he left) |
They can't get their clothes for you and why in the heck has he been put back in a situation wherein it's happened for the 4th time!!!!! At what point do they stop sending him back, by doing so I say they are just as abusive as his mom and need to be held just as accountable. |
I don't know if I have any 5's but I'm going to look in the morning. I don't have daughters so I can't help there. I think you should put a thread in the garage sale section on this site asking if anyone has any clothes too. |
I did ask why he left here with so much and this is all i get, he said....it doesnt matter how much they have they only have to send a little...I think thats stupid considering how much clothing and toys he accumulated while he was here for 2 years..... I dont know if she will be able to get them back again this time...I only care for these kids, I have no say in anything. :( |
Well i have to boys one that's 8yrs old and the other thats 4yrs old that have lost of clothes that they dont wear and if they have they have used them no more then 5 times and even new shirts..Im not sure what size they have cuz i have not clean there closet in years and it just keep pilling up i will check by tomorrow night ill know wht sizes i have and let you know.. Bless your heart..If only we had lots of people like you in this world i think this would be a much better place...:thumbup: :thumbup: |
Thank you for caring for these children. They obviously need some love in their lives!!! I don't have children at home anymore, but I'd be willing to go shopping. Tons of stuff on sale and clearance right now. If you PM me your address, I'll see what I can get together today and out to you..... |
I have 2 boys ages 10 & 16..I might have some clothes that my 10 yr old out grew. When I get home I will look in his closet and see what he has. If you would have caught me a month ago (just moved) I would have had tons of small boy clothes but I already donated to the Salvation Army. |
how about checking garage sales... sometimes you can find clothes for .25 a piece in good condition.. especially at those ages... or salvation army? |
Congratulations on your new additions! We were foster parents for specialized teenage girls for many years. When we got a girl that didn't have anything we would get a clothing voucher from the state to take them shopping and get what they needed. Do you have that program there? |
I will check into that clothing voucher, I have to call the case worker this morning with some other questions.... thank you all for your ideas :) |
