Hi! I am currently working with a family who has two of the sweetest little girls I have ever met. The girls were removed about a year ago due to ongoing concerns of substance usage in the home. The girls are currently with a kinship placement who has been providing for them without the financial support of either parent as they do not contribute much to the kids in terms of their needs. Both girls will be starting at the same school in August and they are in desperate need of all things school and school supplies related (backpack, lunch box, pencils, markers, paper, ext.). One will be going into kindergarten and the other will be going into 2nd grade. I am really hoping to alleviate some stress and help out the placement provide to ensure that the girls have everything they need to start school in August. Any help would be greatly appreciated whether it be through a gift card to allow the girls to pick out what they want or someone who would like to spend some time doing some back to school shopping for the girls. Thank you for all the support and love that you all pour into the families we work with!

A mother who is working towards reunification with her child and having family time with her 1 year old daughter in her home is needing a large standing baby gate and cabinet locks to ensure that her home is baby proofed and safe for child to be there.

This request is to help support a mother of 3 children by providing mattresses to provide adequate sleeping areas for the children. There are three children in this home, and all children are needing an individual mattress/sleeping area.

Any consideration for part of this request or all of it is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

This family recently endured a horrific tragedy. The child is placed with her brother who is legally blind and her mother recently was involved in a murder suicide attempt. Child's brother and child share the same mother and are undergoing grief from losing the child's father as well as coping with the mother being in the hospital with gunshot wounds. Any type of meal service/Uber gift cards would help strengthen this family during the grieving process. Anything helps this family at their time of need and being that kinship is disabled, it would be very helpful to assist family with meals and food at this time to help alleviate the stress of eating/cooking.
