Help Preserve an Adoptive Placement

This request is being submitted on behalf of a lead social worker in the Emergency Response unit with Child Welfare Services.

This request is for a family in which the caregiver is a single adoptive parent who took on the quest of adopting their grandchildren so that they could grow up with family. One grandchild has successfully been adopted by the caregiver and the other child is placed with the caregiver pending adoption. Helping children remain connected to family is important in preserving stable placement for all children.

The caregiver has some current challenges with mobility, which make it hard to move furniture or properly clean the home. This request is asking for assistance in helping the caregiver clean the home- either professionally or by volunteers. The home has clutter and debris that needs to be removed and needs to be cleaned overall. A cleaner home would improve the condition of the home/placement, which may improve the health and wellbeing of the children and assist in preserving placement with family. Thank you for your consideration.

The applicants are family members, and they have gained emergency placement of 3 children. The children are high-needs, and the family has been working really hard at meeting all of the court-ordered services. One of the children is in need of a high chair, as he is too small to sit in a regular kitchen chair. The family tries to include the children in all activities, including dinner at the table. The family is of humble means, and any support is appreciated.

Help Make a Foster Care Placement

A 1-year-old female will be placed in the same resource home as her minor mother, who is also a dependent, to avoid multiple placement changes. The resource parent has agreed to this arrangement in support of the anticipated reunification at the next court hearing in one month.

The resource parent has requested assistance with obtaining a car seat and a highchair. Providing a properly fitted car seat is essential to ensure the child’s safety during transportation. Additionally, a highchair allows the child to sit securely and safely during meals, preventing falls and promoting appropriate supervision while eating. Supplying these items will support the resource parent in maintaining a safe and stable environment for the child’s daily needs and ensure placement.

The family is having issues with the 10 year old child leaving the home and wondering around town. The family would benefit with window and door sensors/alarms to help alert them if the child is leaving the home without permission. This security feature in the home could be beneficial to the family to assist them in the supervision of the child.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

The family is currently experiencing significant economic hardship following the recent arrest of the mother’s adult son, who had been her only source of support and transportation. As a result, the mother is struggling to meet basic needs. She is undocumented and has expressed a deep mistrust of law enforcement and service providers, which has made it difficult for her to seek help. During the son’s arrest, law enforcement observed a visible cockroach infestation in the home. The mother shared that she has been making efforts to address the issue, but due to financial limitations, she is unable to purchase adequate pest control supplies. With the little money she had, she attempted to bomb the home last Friday; however, the infestation persists. The mother has expressed that, “by the grace of God,” if the Agency or any community partners could assist with providing repellent or pest control support, she would be deeply grateful. Addressing this issue is critical to maintaining a safe and sanitary living environment for the family. Thank you!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

I am requesting Care Portal assistance on behalf of a mother and her two children who were recently evicted from their home and are currently residing in an emergency shelter. The family has experienced significant instability, including lack of access to basic necessities and transportation. The mother is actively seeking support but has very limited resources at this time. She is in need of a gas card to help her retrieve their remaining belongings from the previous residence and attend scheduled appointments, including one to access further support. Any assistance provided would help stabilize the family during this difficult transition and ensure the children’s immediate needs are met in a safe and dignified manner.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

I'm reaching out on behalf of one of the young mothers in our program who is currently in need of a crib for her 7 month old daughter. This young mom is a high school student who is working hard to care for her baby while continuing her education. Like many in her situation, she is financially limited and is need of extra support. A crib would provide her daughter with a safe and secure place to sleep and bring peace of mind to a young mom doing her very best. This gift will make a meaningful difference in their lives.

We are grateful for our community and the Care and Coffee Initiative!

Help Strengthen a Bio Family

A single mother of four children is currently requesting a refrigerator for her household. She is raising her children alone, ages 7 to 15, and currently does not have stable employment. The mother occasionally volunteers in the community and makes money babysitting, but her income is not enough to afford a refrigerator. Her current refrigerator is old and has been working barely, but there is concern that it will break down soon, as it is leaking. It would be helpful for the family to receive a refrigerator, as it is a basic necessity for the children to get the nutrition needed to stay healthy.
