Mother is 19 with 3 kids. She lives with her maternal grandmother who helps assist. They do not have proper infant and toddler car seat.

There is a single mother with five children (11 years old, 9 years old, 7 years old, 5, years old, and 4 years old). She is a survivor of domestic violence. The family is barely making ends meet. Mother is the sole provider for the children and herself. Mother is trying to get cash assistance from the Department of Economic Services, but is unable to afford the five birth certificates for the process. When this need is met, the mother will be able to fulfill the cash assistance application.

This is a 2 parent household. They currently have 3 children to care for and a 4th child on the way.

Expectant mother of twins is currently hospitalized at 33 weeks and is requesting material assistance.

We have a teenage boy who is working on transitioning to his home with his family. He has been out of the home for about 3 years. In that time the family has moved. The family has been able to remodel their home to allow the child his own room. However he is in need of a bed, bedding, and a ceiling fan for the room. Having a bed and a ceiling fan for airflow will help with the final things the family needs to be ready to have their son return home as they get closer to reunification.

They are applying for more permanent solutions and it does look good because the Father of the Baby is now working. Thank you! Sr. Magdalene

This family is a very heroic family. The mother is a mother of 5 children and had been making ends meet and struggling for a great while. She heroically chose life for her last child un great duress. She has great faith and dreams of giving back . She was at the point of not being able to believe in herself and the plan God had for her when she met us. This is quote from a message "God always takes care of his people and now it’s my turn to be an example of Gods word. I plan to make a difference in this world and be who God has called me to be. So many people need to hear my voice because so many people are ready to give up like I was. " It would be a blessing if this family could be provided for. Their biggest need is the twin beds (2) for 2 of the children - I hoped that the table and 7 chairs might fit in because then they could all eat at the same table. If possible there is a great way for her to get her kids out and about in a wagon stroller - Go To Link Thank you for considering this family at this time. Sr Magdalene

Mother was recently a victim of severe domestic violence. She survived and has obtained her own apartment. Mother is employed and was able to save her own money to get into her apartment. She is preparing to have her home made ready for her and her son. Mother has also overcome addiction and is living a sober life. Mother has been very active in her DCS case and has shown a real commitment and dedication to herself and her son. Mother is working with victims' advocates to ensure her continual safety. Mother has demonstrated she is resilient. Mother is doing her best to provide diapers and all items for her son but is also in need of size 3 and up diapers and size 6 month old and up infant boy clothes. Mothers mattress was ruined in the DV altercation. She is still using the mattress as she cannot afford to get another one at this time.

I would like to submit a request to the Care Portal. I know they usually do not grant monetary needs; however, this is a different case. We have two children who were placed in fictive kinship home after being removed from their adoptive father, who was grandfather, when he sexually abused the female child. This family has gone above and beyond to care for the children with very little assistance. The husband and wife are not US citizens and the wife is currently working on getting her citizenship. They were both willing to be fingerprinted and risk possible immigration status deportation to become certified to adopt the children. They reside in their son’s home, who is a US citizen, and there is a swimming pool without a fence that will not pass certification. We reached out to Boost a Family and they are willing to cover half of the cost of the fence, but are requesting that the family pay $900.00. The husband and wife are pastors of a local Christian church and do not have much, we thought maybe we can see if someone were willing to help with the some or all of the cost, paying the pool fence company directly.

I am working with a mother who was recently reunified with her three children (2 boys ages 10 and 3; and 1 girl age 8). They are headed to school in August and mom needs help getting cloths and shoes for her children. The kids are super excited to go back to school and be with their friends!

DCS is currently working with the grandmother of the child, who has recently obtained housing to become a kinship placement for her grandchild. The grandmother expressed needing help obtaining a bed for the child. Due to the child's height, the family is requesting a full-sized bed to promote better sleep and comfort. Additionally, having his designated space in the new home will help the child adjust to this significant transition, giving him a sense of security and belonging in his grandmother's care. The family is committed to making this arrangement work, and acquiring a suitable bed is crucial in creating a nurturing environment for the child.

This family desperately needs help cleaning their home and making the environment safe for the child to reside in. The family received this quote from a local cleaning service. Thank you for any help!
