Family is new to the KC area and speaks Hatian Creole. Family speaks limited English and has a limited support system. They have a disconnect notice for their electricity. I have called several agencies about getting assistance and cannot find one that has funds available until next month but I didn't want their electricity to get shut off in the mean time.

This family just moved from Oklahoma to Kc area just within the last few months getting away from toxic relationship. This little family of 4 plus one on the way currently. Mom is currently about 6 months pregnant and looking to get some stability before the baby comes! Mom is looking for some help finding some new shoes for the 3 kids. She would really appreciate this help so the kids can get started in their new school!

A single mother and two female toddlers ages 2 and 4 are looking to move into a new home in a safer neighborhood than where they are currently residing. The mother has worked very hard in maintaining employment and even purchased a vehicle to help her transport her children to daycare and maintain her girls' relationship to their biological father. The mother has asked for assistance in a first-month's deposit to move out in June as her lease is ending the end of May. She is needing the community's help in this matter to ensure safer and better lives for her two little girls. Any amount would significantly help this family, as they are also very close to being released of jurisdiction and reunifying.

A mother of four wonderful girls is working on her reintegration case plan tasks diligently. She has worked to get appropriate housing for herself and the kids, and is at risk of losing the housing due to back rent. She owes $1000 in back rent, and has paid off over half, and needs assistance in paying off the rest. Any financial assistance, no matter the amount, is appreciated and a blessing!

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to kindly request support in acquiring a small stand-up refrigerator for the community pantry I oversee. Our pantry serves as a vital resource for many residents, and we strive to provide not only shelf-stable items but also fresh, nutritious options. Unfortunately, without proper refrigeration, we are currently limited in our ability to offer perishable foods like fresh fruits and vegetables—items that are both highly requested and essential to a balanced diet. A small refrigerator (as we do not have a lot of space to work with) would allow us to accept and safely store produce donations, reduce waste, and increase access to healthier food choices for individuals and families who rely on our services. This addition would greatly enhance our ability to support the well-being of the community in a more sustainable and impactful way. Thank you for considering this request. Please let me know if you need any additional information. I would be happy to provide details or coordinate further.

Bio mom of three precious children has been reunified with her children after being adopted by another family. The adoption didn't work out and the children have now been placed back with mom. Mom is doing everything she needs to do and is going through the adoption process. Mom has had some financial struggles after her car broke down. She was forced to finance another car and does not have the money to pay the property tax to get tags for the car. Mom unexpectedly lost her job after her son became ill because she had to stay home with him and missed too many days from work. The youngest child just had surgery and was hospitalized for 7 days. Mom has a lot of medical appointment for him. Mom has started door dashing part time to earn money. Mom has gotten several tickets because her temporary tags have now expired. Mom is looking for assistance with getting tags for her car so she can drive her children to appointments and to get to work. If you are able to help this family with getting tags for the car it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

A child has had lice for about two months now. She has missed 12 days of school and is now missing end of year testing. Her guardian has not been able to contain the lice with over-the-counter products, and she is in need of professional treatment. I have located a salon in the area that is able to provide services at a discounted rate so that she does not miss any more school. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. If you are able to assist, please reach out to me and I will provide the information for the salon where gift certificate can be purchased.

This courageous family has bravely escaped a situation of domestic violence and has found refuge away from the father. However, they are starting anew with virtually nothing in their new home. The children are in dire need of clothing, hygiene products, and blankets; they currently have very few of these essentials. The youngest child has a pack n play, but the family is sleeping on the floor. They are without formula and diapers, but I am reaching out to secure these necessities for them. Unfortunately, they have no food, with only some rice and bottled water available, along with a pastry box gifted from grandma, who recently traveled from Jordan to support her daughter.

Transportation is a challenge for them, and they primarily speak Arabic. Their needs are urgent, and I am committed to opening an FCS case to assist this family with food stamps, WIC, domestic violence services, and more. Together, we can help them find the support they deserve during this difficult time.

I am working with a young lady who is aging out of foster care soon. This young person receives supplemental security income and that goes to simply pay her rent and utilities at her residence. She is struggling right now with needing resources to purchase hygiene items, food, and even just have money for a simple hair cut. She has furniture and kitchen items but she strongly desires to be independent and fit in with others her age. She would like to be able to go out in the community to do things with peers her age but cannot due to lack of funds to pay for simple activities such as movies, bowling or even just dinner.

This baby came into care about 2 months ago, the mother abuses illicit substances, including while pregnant, such that it impairs her ability to parent. On or about January 21, 2025 at the time of the Childs birth - the child tested positive for cocaine, methadone and benzodiazepines through urinalysis. The child subsequently needed to be placed in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) on a respiratory machine due to experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms. This child had nothing and will need clothing and other things. We are requesting a $ 150.00 in gifts cards so the placement can go get what the baby needs to be in there home.
