A family is in need of help to ensure the child can remain in kinship care; a 5-pound fire extinguisher is needed for safety compliance in the home.

This is a vibrant multigenerational home filled with the warmth of six individuals. They communicate in both Spanish and English. They would greatly benefit from the addition of two beds or mattresses, and perhaps a donated couch to provide more comfortable sleeping arrangements. It has been observed that two middle school girls are currently sharing a mattress with their mother on the living room floor, while a worn-out couch serves as a makeshift bed for other children when needed. Let’s come together to ensure that every member of this family has a comfortable place to rest and recharge.

A single mother is urgently in need of assistance with her car payment, currently past due by one month in the amount of $300. She has received a final notice and is at immediate risk of repossession. The vehicle is her only means of transportation, essential for both her current DoorDash income and her ongoing efforts to build a more stable future. She is actively working with LINC on employment opportunities and has been regularly attending job fairs. She just began a six-month Medical Assistant program, a critical step toward long-term self-sufficiency and career advancement. Maintaining her vehicle is vital not only to her current income but also to her ability to attend classes and pursue a better future for herself and her family. She has expressed full confidence in her ability to stay current on future payments once this overdue balance is resolved.

Your support would provide immediate relief and ensure she can continue progressing toward financial independence.

Cass County Prevention is currently working with a mother and her paramour in regard to their rent and other utilities. The rent is overdue at the present time and the family has only been able to pay $500 so far this month. The paramour's next check is only estimated to be around $300, and the mother is attempting to locate employment; however, her application for childcare was denied so this makes it harder. Furthermore, the mother indicated their water was turned off today, April 24th due to the bill being past due. The remaining amount of rent is $700 for this month and in order to get the water turned back on it will cost $234.96. If the rent is not paid by next week, the landlord is talking about not allowing them to stay any longer in the home and terminating their lease. The mother is worried for her children, as she does not want them to be without working utilities in the home, nor to have to uproot them from their current schools.

A mother in a Children's Division case is needing help with gasoline in order to be able to make it to her weekly court ordered drug testing.

Hello. I am working with a family with 6 children. Mom has been enduring emotional abuse from Dad and is ready to leave him in the hopes that she can put her life together and get her children back. She has a job but her husband has stolen her money. She needs help paying for a hotel until she gets paid in a week and a half. This is a huge step for her and may be her only chance at getting her children back. This has been an ongoing conversation with her and she is finally ready to do it. Visa cards or even paying for a night or two at the hotel from a handful of people can help us ensure that she can be safe!

Please help to maintain the adoptive home that this 12-year-old autistic child has been with for over 5 years now by assisting with payments to the therapist that has been working with both the child and the foster parent individually and together for over 2 years. This ABA and equine therapist recently moved to KS side, and no longer qualifies for MO Medicaid. This therapist has been continuing to work with this family without being paid, and we would love to pay her for at least a few sessions.

Failure to receive payments may make it difficult for this therapist to keep her business afloat, as she is using many of her business hours with this family rather than a family who could pay for her time. Please assist if possible! Thank you!

Johnson County Children's Division is hoping to get help with a three-tier bunk bed for a foster placement for a child in state's custody. This foster placement has just moved into this home and is looking to be a permanent placement for this child and we want to make sure this can happen.
