Grace Family Fellowship

A family is in need of help to ensure the child can remain in kinship care; a 5-pound fire extinguisher is needed for safety compliance in the home.

We have a 20-year-old who is aging out of care in a month. She is moving into her apartment with her 1-year-old daughter. She is working and has been trying to save money. She is $500 short for the deposit on her apartment; she has managed to save half. The $500 would ensure our older youth does not age out unhoused. She is utilizing a housing voucher to ensure she will be able to pay her rent; her voucher does not pay for any part of the deposit. Our youth is excited to have her own place for her and her daughter to finally have stability in her life. Thank you!

This family is needing assistance with half of their rent. Their 21 year-old son was recently killed in an accident and their 19-year-old daughter who is pregnant is being induced due to the stress of losing her brother. Her younger son is currently permanently disabled. Mother has been unable to work as she has been making arrangements for her son's burial and her the birth of her daughter's child. Mother was unable to cover the entire month's rent because she paid for the burial of her son. There are three other younger children in the home. Any assistance to help this family would be very much appreciated. Thank you for your consideration.

This is a single parent home. Mom is currently unemployed and family is making ends meet off of social security disability benefits. Family is functioning within poverty. One of the children in the home has a high level of medical needs with some medical equipment that requires electricity to function (suctioning and feeding pump). This mother is facing shut off notice with Evergy and her bill is currently $1,02.09. Any amount will help. This would truly be a blessing. Thank you so much for considering.

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.

Family with 7 children had to move out of their home within 48 hours as the building was condemned. They spent multiple months looking for housing and have finally found a place to live. They are in need of living room furniture.

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.

Kinship placement has been unable to pay their past due water bill in order to insure continuation of service. Needs help towards this bill.

KCMO Angels is supporting an 18-year-old youth in foster care currently placed in an independent living program. She is experiencing challenges with food theft and limited access to activities during personal time. Recently, she left campus without a pass due to boredom and lack of available staff for approval, which resulted in consequences.

To help promote her stability and well-being, we are requesting:

Non-perishable food items she can safely store in her dorm room: Strawberry Apple sauce

Beef jerky

Ritz and salami

Pickled peanuts

Pickle flavored puffs

Bread and butter pickles

Mac n cheese

Spicy kimchi noodle

Popcorn

A copy of the Uno card game

The final two books in the Twisted Love series, which she enjoys and is actively reading

These items will help her manage her time more positively and reduce boredom-related risks.

Thank you so much for considering this request! Any help with these items is immensely appreciated!
