This request is for 2 children, ages 1 & 2, that recently came into care due to concerns for medical neglect. Both children are very small for their age. The children were able to be placed with their father. He is in need of a way to safely take them places and has asked for help getting a double stroller. If this need gets met, he will be able to go the store more easily as well as take them for walks and outings.

I was notified today of an emergency situation pertaining to an elderly grandmother raising 3 small grandchildren. She cares for a non-mobile adult person in her home as well. Money has been tight. She has been in search of a new home due to the raising of rent by her landlord and ineffective maintenance repairs to her home. She has been unable to find a new place to accommodate her needs within her budget therefore remains in the home. Last night she went to access her cash through the ATM at the bank. Due to a malfunction with the ATM her money could not be given. She is now being notified that it might be up to 45 days before the bank can pay out. She has other bills coming due-she is on payment plans for these. She is desperate for help as the landlord will continue to charge daily when she doesn't pay. If anyone can assist this family with any amount it would be greatly appreciated. Her total owed today for rent is $1543, but this goes up $10 a day ongoing.

In hopes to assist one of our youth with his new adventure, he has made an Amazon Wish List! This young adult (18, M) is hopeful to have some things to get him started on his own and set up his apartment! He's worked very hard these past several months to graduate, get his driver's license and necessary documents and go through interviews for his new housing. He is moving in June 4 and very excited! He would love any help!

I have a mother who is working towards her trial home visits with her son. However, she is needing to complete her SATOP program and at this time, doesn’t have the money to pay the fee, which is $249.00.

This mom has worked so hard over the past 8-9 months to get her life back on track by taking care of her substance use issues, outstanding tickets/warrants, working in her own mental health all while working and completing her court ordered services. With this class, she will be able to drive again, which means she won’t have to use public transportation. Thank you in advanced for all you do for our families.

We are seeking assistance to provide clothing for a resilient 13-year-old girl who has recently endured unimaginable hardships. Currently, she has only her grandparent's old clothes to wear, as her belongings remain in Texas and are being discarded by her father. This courageous young girl is on a journey of healing, yet she lacks the basic necessities to support her recovery.

Her grandmother, who is also caring for two other small children, is unable to afford new clothing. Despite her challenges, this girl expressed a heartfelt desire for "girlie girl" clothes while wearing a worn oversized tee. We kindly request support in obtaining XL-sized sport bras, skirts, tee-shirts, and pants, as well as size 11 sandals or tennis shoes. Your help can make a meaningful difference in her life and help her embrace a hopeful new beginning. Thank you for your generosity.

Mom of 2 lost her 18 year old son to homicide on 5/22/24. Mom has a full time job however due to the circumstances, has been out of work since the incident. Mom is prioritizing putting her son to rest and is currently paying for the funeral which is close to $8,000. Mom is concerned she will get behind on rent due to the funeral costs and being out of work. Currently KCMO does not have organizations that assist with funeral funds, so it will be out of pocket for her. Mom is seeking rental assistance for the month of June. Her current rent amount is $1340 and has around $300 to go towards her rent payment. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’m reaching out with urgency and deep sincerity on behalf of a brave, single mother of two children (ages 7 months & 4 years) who has recently escaped the grip of an abusive relationship. She’s working hard to rebuild her life, providing a safe, stable home for her children while juggling the weight of emotional trauma and financial strain. Despite her strength and determination, this month she’s fallen short—just $250 away from being able to cover rent. This isn’t just about money; it’s about helping a mother hold onto the safety and peace she fought so hard to create. The mother has applied for SNAP benefits, will be applying for WIC benefits, started the Child Support process, and Childcare Subsidy benefits. The mother does have family in the area, but they are unable to assist with any financial help at this time. We have created a budget with Mom and identified areas where she can trim her budget in order to save extra money next month. The mother is in the process of connecting with other community resources to assist her during this transition time.

Relative provider is in desperate need of assistance catching up with an overdue water bill. This family is at risk of the water getting shut off. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated in getting this bill lowered or paid off if possible!

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out with a heartfelt request to help make a young girl’s dream come true. She recently learned to ride a bike, and now her greatest wish is to have a bike of her own.

Unfortunately, due to [circumstances/reasons], she does not currently have the means to obtain one. This is the only present she is asking for, and we want to help make it happen for her. A bike would not only be a special gift, but also an opportunity for her to enjoy the outdoors, build confidence, and experience the joy of something so many of us take for granted.

We are hoping to find someone who might be willing and able to assist in providing a bike, whether it’s through a donation, a discounted price, or a connection to a local initiative that could help fulfill this wish.

If you are able to help in any way, whether it’s through donating a bike, funds, or pointing us in the right direction, it would mean the world to her and to our family. We believe that with your support, we can make her dream a reality.

Thank you so much for your time, consideration, and any support you can offer. We are deeply grateful. Bless you for your consideration
