Hello, We are requesting 20.00 for a drug test for the mother in this case. We have to have a test completed by 4:30 pm today to keep the children in the home. We requested one earlier for the mother's boyfriend and the mother thought she could get one from her probation officer. That ended up not being the case and we are requesting the 20.00 for the mother now, as well. Thank you, Deb Walker

Parent stated her kids like any kind of food. Maybe they could get milk, cheese, bread, deli meat, chicken, rice, cold cereal. She also requested a gas card to get kids to school, daycare, and work. Any help would be greatly appreciate to tie the family over until Friday. Parent felt bad for asking for assistance. Thank you in advance.

I am assisting a family that has a pest problem and are in need of a queen bed frame to get their mattress and box spring off of the ground, two queen size mattress protectors, and queen size sheets/bedding. This is a single parent on a very limited income and does not have resources to purchase these items. They are currently sharing the queen size mattress due to space. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

The child is in need of a mattress and a bed frame.

There is an ICPC relative placement for 3 siblings ages 14,11 and 8. There are 2 girls and boy living with their grandmother in St.Joseph MO. This is the only relative placement option for all 3 siblings, and we would like to preserve this placement as everything else is going well. This family is urgently needing support with deep cleaning the house and bed bugs extermination before the walkthrough that will be performed by MO ICPC on May 14,2025. Grandmother has already applied first round of bed bug treatment; however, we would like to make sure that the infestation is removed completely. It would be easier for this family to maintain cleanliness if they receive support with deep cleaning. We would really appreciate all the help this family can receive before May 14.

The mother is needing to complete a drug screen to prevent a child from coming into care.
