There is a long-term kinship placement (considering adoption) for a young girl which has been facing financial concerns due to a placement payment issue. When the electric company attempted to auto-pay the bill, it bounced due to this payment issue. This caused fines from both the placement's electric company and from her bank. Because of this, the family will not be able to pay the bill even after the placement payment hit their account. Receiving a payment on this account will help to stabilize the placement's financial situation and assist in making sure this kinship placement can become an adoptive parent.

A family is needing two upright dressers as theirs is falling apart, and the drawers are unusable. The family could use some storage totes or organizational shelfing/drawers to help organize the home. The home is very small and clutters so having things organized would help save space. This family is working towards reunification and have started a trajectory to get their child back in the home. Any help would be a blessing as this family is on a strict budget and could benefit from these items.

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!
