A single mother is in need of furnishing her new apartment. The mother has been unhoused for the last 9 months. The mother has a newborn baby (girl) and is expected to move forward next week to unsupervised/overnight visits with her two other children aged 5 (boy) and 9 (girl). The mother has stated that she does not have the funds available to furnish the home due to currently being on maternity leave. The following is a list provided by the mother: (2-3) Dressers (2) twin size bed frames (2) twin sized mattresses crib w/ crib mattress Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and God Bless!

The Agency is working with a 16-year-old female in foster care under family maintenance with her mother. The youth feels overwhelmed and isolates herself from her family. Upon speaking with the youth, she shared she likes crafts and baking. The hope is that these items help build her confidence and provides a therapeutic outlet. They may also offer her a calming distraction from stressors in a healthy constructive manner. A gift card to any store that has these items would greatly be appreciated. Thank you!

This family is requesting assistance with the removal of a jacuzzi that has lifted out of the ground and a collapsed pergola structure that is over the jacuzzi. The jacuzzi and pergola have been in the family’s backyard for many years. Unfortunately, the family was not able to upkeep the required maintenance. As result the jacuzzi was drained and not in service. The structure of the pergola deteriorated over time. After the heavy rainfall of 2023, the jacuzzi lifted out of the ground and the pergola structure collapsed. This household consists of one adult that has a limited capacity and is not able to work at this time. As a result, the limited income received is used to meet their essential needs. They are not able to afford the cost of a haul-off service. Your aid in addressing this issue for the family will help make a relative foster care placement and keep a family together.

I am writing to request funding assistance for a critical home repair for a dedicated foster parent in our community who currently cares for three foster children and has three biological children of her own. This resource parent has established a loving and supportive environment for all the children in her care; however, she is facing significant safety concerns due to a broken double-pane window in the children's room.

The window is completely broken and poses a serious risk to the safety and wellbeing of the children. With hotter weather approaching, it is vital that this issue be addressed promptly to ensure a secure living environment and to preserve the stability of the foster placements.

The resource parent recently relocated to this home, and unfortunately, the landlord has not taken any steps to resolve this issue. Given her limited financial resources, she is struggling to cover the costs associated with the necessary repairs.

Your support in funding this repair will not only help restore the window but also enhance the overall safety and stability of her home. This assistance will enable her to continue providing a nurturing space for vulnerable children.

Failure to complete this repair will leave the children’s safety at risk and the home in non-compliance with state mandates regarding foster care.

At this time I have a bio mother who is requesting assistance from her local community. The mother is getting all six children returned back to her and has requested assistance in obtaining a few items from her local community as she is unable to afford the following due to drastic change: two bunks beds, mattresses, sheets, comforters, and pillows. The mother expressed she is also going to school which is taking more of moms income which is why she is unable to afford the mentioned above items. The mother reports she would be grateful for the help she receives. Thank you all who read my Care Portal Request.

This is a two (2) part request. I am currently working with a mother who has two children in her care, under Family Maintenance. One child is sixteen (16) years old, and the other child is two (2) years old. The mother has expressed there is something wrong with her vehicle, but is uncertain of what it is. The mother has two (2) part time jobs, but does not have the financial means to take it to a mechanic or shop to have the car inspected. The Agency is hoping there is someone who is a mechanic/is knowledgeable about cars and willing to provide their time in order to inspect the car and identify what is wrong with it. After identifying the issue, it would be appreciated if someone could help purchase/fix the car as it is her source of transportation. Should this need it met, the mother can continue to work in order to pay her bills, transport the children to their doctor/dental appointments, buy groceries etc.
