This family was relocated to a new shelter over the summer following the closure of the Herc shelters. Shortly after, the mother was left to care for her children on her own, without a support system in the city.

Through our crisis response, groceries and clothing were provided to help ease the burden during this transition.

After losing her partner, this mother of four made the difficult decision to return to New York from Florida to be closer to family and support. While placed in a shelter in Brooklyn, she is doing everything she can to keep her children in their same school—now doubled up with relatives nearby who can help care for them during this time of grief and transition.

Through it all, the Sled stepped in to provide groceries and a bit of relief as this family navigates loss, instability, and the path forward.

After loss comes new challenges, and every family deserves support. We’re helping this family of four navigate living with relatives while facing real health and work hardships. The groceries and new toaster oven, in replacement of their current broken oven in a house with additional occupants, will hopefully ease some of the chaos and lessen obstacles to give them space to grieve & grow.

A big Sled thank you to author and for donating copies of her new book, Kind Karl, along with two other titles, for every student in a family shelter in Upper Manhattan. The shelter director told us, “The families are extremely grateful for the books and we are actually trying to form a book club for the parents and the children here at Adams House. Our first book meeting will be about Kind Karl and how we can relate to the characters in the book.”

Sometimes the biggest impact comes from the simplest things.

After receiving clothing support through The Sled, a student sent this note to say thank you. His counselor shared that having proper clothes helped him enroll in school and start showing up.

Moments like this remind us why crisis support matters — not just during the holidays, but all year long.

Because every student deserves the chance to show up ready to learn. ❤️

At 18 years old, he arrived alone from Senegal — wearing a spring coat and sandals in the middle of winter.

We stepped in with what he needed immediately:
🧥 A winter coat
👟 Sneakers
🥾 Boots
👕 Warm clothing

Crisis is about protection.
It’s about dignity.
It’s about making sure a young person feels seen on their hardest day.

This is what we do — in every season. ❄️
