A new convertible crib and mattress for one year old Marty
Posted Jun 22, 2017
Marty was recently placed with his father who surpassed all expectations to get his son back. Marty's Dad is enrolled in a welding program so that he can provide a better life for himself and his son. While Dad is in school, Marty stays with his maternal grandmother who is thrilled to spend the time with Marty. The social worker couldn't provide funding for the Dad to get Marty a crib and mattress but says he has to have one shortly because Marty cannot sleep with him. Unfortunately the grandmother is on a limited income and can't assist with the much needed purchase. Please help us welcome Marty home and show his hard working dad some support.
Marty is 7 years old and lives in CA
Marty had a very difficult start to his life. He was born positive to drugs and exhibited withdrawal symptoms that caused him to remain in the NICU for over a month. Both parents were incarcerated. However, Marty's father began to work very hard while incarcerated and has been clean and sober for just over a year now. He has surpassed everyone's expectations and Marty was recently placed with his father. Marty and his Dad are living in their own apartment that is operated by an organization that helps people re-incorporate into society. The CASA says the Dad and Marty are great together. He is a loving Dad and Marty is a happy bubbly baby. Their challenge is getting a crib/mattress for Marty as it is not safe for him to sleep with his Dad.
