A 14 year old boy has just been taken into foster care and has been sleeping in the office. He is needing some new clothes. Shirt -XL, bottoms M, size 8 shoes. This will help improve the child's wellbeing.

An aunt and uncle had driven from out of state to spend a couple of nights with their nephew to keep him from sleeping in the office. They still need to drive back home. Giving them gas cards will assist them financially in getting back home.

A fourteen year old boy has been taken into foster care. There are relatives who are willing to come from out-of-state to come get him and need assistance with a motel for a couple of nights. This will help with the kinship placement. We are also asking for groceries for overnight,

There is a family who is brand new to the area and are in a financial hardship. The family consists of 2 children and 2 adults. The family had to flee their situation in another city due to very unfortunate circumstances. Mom currently has advanced colon cancer and is unable to work or get out of the house much recently. Dad has a job, but they have fallen on hard times with the unexpected, urgent move. Dad does have to take off work frequently to attend mom's doctor's appointments. They are running very low on money to provide needs, such as food. They also have no appliances at their new house since they had to leave all of those at the old house. The family is in need of food, stove, washer and dryer. Anything you could provide would be helpful.

There is a mom that needs beds for herself and her two teenage children. The mother reports that they are sleeping on the floor currently.

A family is needing help getting by, their two-year-old was diagnosed with tumors on the brain and spine a few days ago. They are currently at Children's Mercy for treatment. They also have a four-year-old. Mom is concerned about paying her bills due to dad being the only one that can work right now.

A 15-year-old male living with a kinship family walks to school every day. With the change in temperatures and winter coming he is in need of a pair of snow boots. He wears a size 15 so these are hard to find in-store and more expensive than a typical pair of boots. He has found a pair on Amazon, but at this family does not have the extra funds to purchase them. We are asking for help purchasing the below boots in brown size 15 wide, so he can continue to walk to school and be prepared for the cold temperatures. ###-####5&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9023888&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=(###) ###-####724126469&hvtargid=kwd-(###) ###-####55&hydadcr=13195_13365941&keywords=nortiv%2B8%2Bmen%27s&qid=1701208079&sr=8-15&th=1&psc=1

Family with two girls, ages 1 and 2 are in need of diapers (size 5). Shoes and boots (size toddler 9-10 and toddler 10-11), coats/jackets (size 2T and 4T), and a toybox. Family would also like the girls to get a playhouse, v-tech type learning toys, musical toys, a toy box, and the 2 year old loves horses. The girls also enjoy ride on toys of any kind and blocks. Family could also benefit from child-proofing items such as outlet covers, door knob covers, cabinet latches/locks, and an adjustable walk-thru baby gate.

Single mom is a relative placement for her young niece, who is in foster care. The aunt has a car repair that needs to be done and desperately needs assistance. If there is anyone who can do the repair or help to pay for the repair, it would be greatly appreciated, as the aunt does not have the money. This car is the families only personal method of transportation. This would help the aunt to get to work, get the children to and from school, to therapy appointments and other necessary appointments. The aunt has gotten an estimate from an auto repair shop. The diagnosis is "leaking antifreeze from the oil cooler." The estimate repair cost is $718.40. Thank you for your consideration to helping this family.

A mother has been having a hard time trying to provide for her son and needs assistance with rent. She owes $600 for this month and has just moved into her new place. Any assistance would be appreciated. This would free up financial resources for the family.

This is a two parent family who has struggled for years trying to meet adequate housing requirements. They have a lot of needs, but if we could get help with a few specific things, it will prevent further required action from Children's Division. The floors of the home are plywood. They are in the need of Kilz to use on the floors and some walls. The family has tried to rid the home of roaches on their own with no success. An exterminator may be too expensive, but we're looking for an extermination of roaches if possible. Updated on November 16, 2023 by an Agency Worker
Family still in need.

I am working with a local family that is in need of assistance with a vehicle repair. Their primary vehicle had the air compressor go out in their car; which affects the cabin air intake, and power steering so it is not able to be driven. They requested a quote for the repair, and it will cost about $2,000. The family is aware that this is an expensive repair and is asking for any kind of assistance to cover part of the bill or help with performing the repair. The family has a child that is in need of medical care and reliable transportation is very important for this family!
