A 17yr old and recently gave birth to a little girl. She is in need of diapers, clothes 0-3mo., a kangaroo pouch and potentially a stroller. She doesn't have much of anything and is relying on her uncle for most items. They are all on benefits and need to make sure their bills are paid first, so they do not have a lot of leftover money for baby items. She requested a pump and bottles too as she intends to go back to school and will need to prepare bottles in advance!

Hello! I have a teenage girl who was removed from home, and her uncle is opening his home to her. This teen has been through a lot, and we are trying to get her to stability as soon as possible. She is needing a bed and mattress to sleep any help would be appreciated by her and her uncle, thank you.

Kin provider is a family friend who took in a one year old when his mother needed help. They currently are both unemployed, so finances are tight. They've utilized community resources for a car seat, but the one provided they do not feel is safe. They're really in need of a specific car seat so that kin provider does not worry about the child when transporting him to all his appointments, visits, etc. Any help is so appreciated by this family. Even a giftcard from Amazon to pay for part of this carseat would be so helpful.

Kin provider is taking in her sister's kids, who range from 4 to `5 years old. Upon taking the kids, she was already in the process of eviction and needing new housing. She was able to use community resources to get help with rent, but now she is short financially on some needs. The children are in need of beds. The younger two are in need of a bunk bed, while the 15 year old has her own room and could use a bed of her own. Any help with these items are so greatly appreciated.

Working with a bio mom who has recently had children returned to the apartment they live in. She is a single mom who lost her job and has no furniture expect beds and a small coffee table. In need some good condition used furniture items for their apartment. They are happy with donated used items. These items don't have to be purchased. She will be truly grateful for any support!

A dedicated single foster mother is seeking support to help her 13-year-old foster daughter attend a local summer day camp throughout the summer. The child was originally expected to participate in summer school, but due to her unique needs, she did not qualify. With her foster mom working full-time, summer day camp would provide this child with a safe, structured, and enriching environment during the day. Camps in the area cost approximately $500 per week, the state has provided the family with help by giving them $300 a week so we are looking for the difference being $200 a week. The family is hoping to access care for the full summer (approximately 8–10 weeks).

We understand that this is big amount needed for the whole summer and will be happy with any donations that can be used towards our 13-year-old girl to attend at least a few weeks. This would allow the child to enjoy social connection, fun activities, and consistency—while ensuring the foster parent can maintain employment and stability in the home. Any financial assistance toward covering the cost of one or more weeks would be deeply appreciated. Your support will help ensure this child has a memorable, engaging summer.

This family is worried about eviction and trying to find employment, but their vehicle is not working and is in need of repairs. This family is facing a lot of barriers and they would appreciate any resources that can assist them with the repairs. They got an estimate from the shop and it's quite a bit but anything toward this would be appreciated.

Mom separated from dad in January 2025. Since, dad has been coming to the home being aggressive and violent in front of the two children. Recent concerns came in for a domestic violence dispute. Dad came to the home (not inside) and began to kick the glass sliding door and throwing rocks at Mom's car, while the child was present. Mom fears for her safety and the child's. A security camera will ensure keeping mom and the children safe by providing her alerts if dad shows up near the home again and capturing video evidence of dad's volatile behaviors while she files for custody.

The child got a liver transplant about 9 months ago and needs to be on a feeding tube 20 hours a day. It appears that when the child goes to the hospital, he loses weight. He was just hospitalized for two weeks and the liver team changed the child's formula. It's hard for mom to know the exact weight of the child. One urgent item: Child weight scale so mom can weigh the child at home. By knowing the exact weight, mom is making sure that the child isn't malnourished and that he's developing appropriately.
