10 and 9 year old boys are in the process of a possible placement with a relative. This relative is on low income and has children in the home who the boys are bonded to. Our agency is out of extensions and have explored several placement options who have withdrawn from consideration. If this home study of this relative does not get approved, in all likelihood both of these boys will go permanent custody and transfer to adoptions. Currently this relative does not have the financial ability to get bunk beds and a twin bed. I am asking for help to get these beds for this relative so these boys can stay out of foster care and remain with family.

A loving grandmother has opened her home to her 8-year-old grandchild, who was attached by a dog in March while in the care of their bio father. Grandchild lost their left eye as a result of the attack and grandmother has been setting her priorities on the care of her grandchild getting them to and from appointments with hospitals, specialist and any other treatment the grandchild needs. However, this is impacting her work schedule with her full-time job. Grandmother has gone out to get a part-time job to help cover some expenses as it is more flexible but still isn't enough. Grandmother is needing assistance with their utilities to keep them from getting shut off.

Our agency is working with a mother who has a four year old autistic boy that is now big enough and smart enough to open doors and windows to find his way outside. As a result, referrals have been made to the agency because it is dangerous for him to wonder the neighborhood. His autism makes it difficult for his mom to redirect his roaming behaviors. Mom has had to take off work because of this which is causing financial instability. Mom could use locks and alarms for the doors and windows to help keep her son from getting out and roaming. She also needs a bed for her son. Right now he is either sleeping with her or his older siblings. Mom also needs help with her gas bill since she is not working. Her time off to help stabilize her son has caused her to get behind on the gas bill. Mom states that any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any assistance to help keep this family safely housed would be appreciated!

The placement cannot be approved until appropriate sleeping arrangements are secured.
