We have a family with an 11 year old girl who is a special needs child who is severely autistic, non verbal. The child is temporarily in the parent's home while DHS works to place her in a group home that will provide behavioral training for the child and equip the mother to better meet her needs when she returns home. The other child in the home is a 16 year old girl. The mother just began a new job and has not received her first check yet. The family has been financially challenged for some time and struggling to make ends meet. The family is in need of assistance with food for the week. The child has very specific food preferences as is common with autistic children.

I am reaching out on behalf of a client who is currently navigating a difficult transition out of a recent domestic violence situation. She is the primary caregiver for her special needs daughter, which requires frequent specialist appointments and has made it challenging for her to maintain steady employment.

While she has recently begun working with Spark and DoorDash to generate income, she will not be able to secure the full amount of her upcoming rent in time. Her rent of $550 is due by the 5th, and she is in urgent need of assistance to avoid potential housing instability.

Any support—whether full or partial—toward covering her rent would be deeply appreciated and would provide critical stability during this vulnerable time.

We are currently working with a newly reunited family of four in Kay County. The two boys recently joined their mother and her fiancée in the home. The family is in need of A/C Units in order to keep the home cool. The family has struggled with home maintenance in the past and this would help alleviate additional obstacles for cleaning the home. The family is motivated to maintain their home environment, but tends to run shortly financially with additional purchases. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated and allow this family another avenue of support and the feeling of community. Thank you for considering meeting this need. Your support is greatly appreciated.

We are currently working with a family of three in Kay County, consisting of a mother, father, and teenage daughter. Over the past two months, the family has made significant strides toward improving their overall wellbeing. They are in need of a blender to prepare smoothies for their daughter. Providing this assistance would support the family’s efforts to improve their health while allowing them to continue managing other financial responsibilities. Your generosity would not only meet a practical need but also serve as a powerful reminder that they are surrounded by a compassionate and supportive community Thank you for considering this request, your generosity and dedication are truly appreciated.

A very sweet 10-year-old girl entered DHS custody in April. She is autistic and has limited communication. She can say a few words, knows specific words in American Sign Language, and mostly uses gestures to communicate. Despite her limited communication, she is very smart, very creative, and loves to interact with people. She has been in the hospital for over a month and will be entering her first placement outside the hospital soon. She has been borrowing an iPad from the hospital during her stay and has been learning to use a specific program on the iPad to communicate. Currently this child does not have a iPad of her own, and there isn't one available to her at the new placement. Being able to get a new iPad would make it so this very sweet girl would be able to continue making progress in her ability to communicate with the people around her.

A bio family needs help with obtaining a new car seat for their child.

With this new car seat the parents will not have to obtain a new car seat for years.

We are currently working with a family of four in Kay County who are focused on creating a better life for themselves. They have been very cooperative in services thus far. The household includes a mother, father, and their two young daughters. At this time, they are in need of a small plastic table where the children can sit for meals and activities. Fulfilling this need would help ease their financial burden and allow them to concentrate on other essential priorities. Your support would not only provide practical assistance but also reinforce this family’s determination and strengthen their connection to the community. Thank you for considering this request—your generosity can make a meaningful and lasting impact.

We are requesting two twin-size beds (frames and mattresses) for two teenage boys currently placed in a loving kinship home. Currently, they are sharing a queen-size bed due to limited resources. While they have the option to sleep in separate rooms, they have expressed a strong desire to remain together in the same room for comfort and stability.

Since being placed in this home in March, the boys have made remarkable progress both academically and behaviorally. Their grades have significantly improved, and their overall well-being has taken a complete 180 turn. This environment has proven to be a nurturing and supportive space where they are truly thriving.

To continue fostering their growth and stability, we are hoping to provide them with two separate beds so they can share a room while having their own personal sleeping space. Your support in helping make this kinship placement a lasting success would be deeply appreciated.
