Update!  Yall crushed our goal and the boys are solid and gonna be ready for school. We’re gonna use the extra to take them to lunch while we clothes shop. If any donations come in after this, we’re gonna apply them to getting fun stuff for bonus kiddo’s room and to put in savings for birthdays and such, but you’ve covered our needs and we are more grateful than we can explain!! Thank you a million times! I hope all your generosity is returned to you ten fold! 🖤🖤🖤

As some of you know, we’ve taken in a bonus kiddo after his father passed away suddenly. We are working on custody through the state, but in the meantime school is starting and we’re more than broke! I work full time and Maks was finally hired on at a fantastic job after nearly a year of searching, but we’re struggling to make it to that first paycheck with all our utilities on and some food in the house, let alone getting the kids ready for school. 
 

Fortunately, bonus kiddo has had some folks reach out with a Kohl’s gift card so we could get him a few outfits for school. He still needs a haircut and school supplies and I really don’t want him to have to enter his first year of high school with hand me downs and a free garbage haircut he had to wait hours in line for. Our youngest has a laundry list of school supplies he needs already, no new clothes to start the year with, and also needs a haircut. They also need backpacks. Our oldest is buying his own everything with his first paycheck which he’ll get before the first day of school so he’s covered. 
 

I’m gonna go ahead and post the list of supplies needed in case anyone wants to help, but can’t donate money and has extra supplies laying around. (*some supplies have been donated so I’m removing them from the list!)
