We have a mother of two young children who has obtained housing and is in need of a uhaul truck rental to transport furnishings into the new home. Once the apartment is furnished and approved, the children can begin having visits in Mom's home with the aim of transitioning them to living with her full-time. Mom's apartment being equipped and deemed appropriate for the children is a primary barrier to reunification, so assistance in transporting the furniture would help the family overcome a huge hurdle toward reunification!

The mother has been connected with a furniture bank and just needs a rental truck arranged and funded so that she can transport the furniture. Alternatively, if there are community members with their own truck(s) able to transport a number of large furniture items (furnishings for multiple rooms in the home), that could also meet the family's needs.

*Estimated value based on rates for a 20ft uhaul rental.

This child has a relative that is approved for placement but for her to be able to move to the relative placement she is needing a bed and a dresser. This will help immensely with getting this child reunited with her relatives.

The parent has recently escaped an unhealthy living situation and is now living independently with her two children. As she transitions to self-sufficiency, she is facing financial hardship, and her water service is at risk of disconnection due to a delinquent bill.

A 17-year-old recently received her own bedroom and is looking to make it her own! She has a bed and vanity but is looking for a tall dresser, a vanity stool, pink and/or white curtains, and some LED lights. She loves the colors pink and white and would love these items in those colors. Thank you for helping her create her safe space!

Good afternoon. I am requesting community assistance to help a 19 yr old pregnant homeless Foster Youth with getting a temporary storage unit to store her stuff until she can find stable housing. The youth in question is currently homeless and is couch surfing until we can locate a stable placement option. All of her personal items including clothing, , etc were being stored at a friends home but her "friend" no longer wants the items in her home and has threatened to throw everything out. We are requesting $150 to help with obtaining and paying for a 2-3 month storage unit so the youth has a safe place to store her belongings. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

Good morning care portal, we are seeking your support this morning. DCCCA has a case manager working with two teenage children who sneak out or sneak friends in. Their mother needs to complete school and work to support the children and needs to be able to see when they are leaving the home or bringing people into the home. Their behavior and not knowing who is coming in or who they leave with has become a scary situation for this mother. Currently this is the primary concern for the case as well as the only obstacle left to close the case. The family is in therapy and doing better in communication but this would be an added safe guard to keep the teens safe and give this mother peace of mind. We are requesting your help with a 4 indoor camera set that can be accessed by smart phone with sound and ability to speak back and forth. The cost is approximately $180 before taxes in amazon. Please consider helping and collaborating with our team. Thank you for reading and God bless your week!

Family is needing A/C window unit for child's room. Family has one unit in living room. Having an A/C unit in the child's room will help the child sleep better and be more comfortable.

Family is needing assistance with either first months rent or deposit on house. Familys current home is infested with fleas and mice. Parents report landlord has not been assisting with issue (January is when it started). Parents are on disability and fixed income. Family had to get rid of their mattresses and are sleeping on air mattresses at this time due to the fleas.

Parents struggle with getting transportation to and from their daughter's medical appointments. Their daughter has a lot of medical issues, which cause her to need numerous medical appointments a month. The mother, who is approximately 6 months pregnant, takes the bus and walks a great distance to get from the bus stops to her daughter's appointments. Any amount given towards this family will help. It would greatly strengthen the bond with the family as they work toward reunification and take some stress off mom, who is not only fighting for her baby back, but also carrying another life!

This request is to help a family in need with a Temporary Alternative Placement Agreement. The parents are working on various items to improve themselves and to make themselves and their home a safe place for the child to return home to. The extended family that is placement for the child currently are sturggling financially to make ends meet. Currently they are in need of gas cards to help keep gas in the car to get the child to daycare. Without this aid they will have to miss more shifts at work and without work they will not be able to keep the child with them.

By helping with this request you are directly helping keep a child out of court custody and out of the foster system.
