Hi there! Thank you for looking and considering!

I have a non-verbal young man who is aging out of Foster Care and is in need of some items to make that transition go smoothly. Case team has obtained a mattress, bed frame, dresser, and bedside table for this young man. However, he is still needing full size sheets/comforter set, pillows, towels, and washcloths.

This request is for a father who is working really hard to get his daughter in his care. This father is doing all the steps and is now able to progress to unsupervised visits and soon he will have overnight visits. The father is asking for a car seat to help him transport the child safely now that he is able to have extended time with her.

A single mother lost hours at her job which has forced her to begin looking for a new job. This resulted in her not having enough money for her rent. She is facing eviction if she cannot come up with the $500 needed for the rest of her rent this month. She has tried several community agencies on her own with no luck in getting help for her rent.

This family is just coming from homelessness because of a house fire but just got moved into their new home! I'm so excited for them as its a big step for this family. The mother who is disabled has been working so hard at getting everything together for there new home and could use a little love and support from her community in getting a two bed sets for her and her child. As well as an electric washer and dryer Thank you so much!

This mother is working so hard to get things back together for her family but could use some community support to pay some rent for the month. She would really appreciate the support from her community at this time. She really is trying so hard to keep her family together and providing help with rent would allow her to spend more money to support her kids. Thank you in advance as always for helping my clients and being a shinning light in our communities!

A mother and her child, who have recently triumphed over significant domestic violence challenges, are seeking assistance with transportation to attend medical appointments and access domestic violence services. With a limited income, especially after losing a primary source of support from her ex-boyfriend who is no longer permitted to contact the family due to safety concerns this mother is in a difficult situation. We are hopeful to secure a Quick Trip gas card by tomorrow morning during the TDM, which would greatly alleviate their transportation expenses and support their journey toward healing and stability.

Two children have been placed with a Kinship relative, and the relatives are needing more space to store the children's things, therefore they requested a dresser. The family has also requested another mattress. The family has four children already and have taken in two more children, so they would be very grateful for any support they can get during this time. The family does not have a preference regarding if the dresser is tall or short. They would appreciate any assistance provided.

The case was open due to mom overdosing on drugs in a hotel room at the time. They were rushed to the hospital mom was brought back to life with Narcan. The 12 year old girl currently living in a kindship placement with her Grandmother. The Grandmother is currently on a fixed income and child is needing summer clothing. We are asking for a $200.00 gift card to help this placement. The child is currently in Sizes - Shirt Medium in girls. Pants/ Leggings size S or jeans 2. This request will help this family a great deal. Thank You

15- & 11-year-old boys had to change foster care homes recently. The boys are really missing their bicycles, and the prior home has not cooperated to give them their bikes. The boys would really like to get out and enjoy the nice weather and get some exercise. They are really hoping for someone to help and provide a bike. For the riding that they do, they need a 24-inch and a 28-inch mountain bike. The bikes do not need to be new; they would be thankful for used ones. The boys are in Kansas City, KS. The Aunt that they are now staying with and the boys would be so very appreciative. Thank you so much for considering helping these boys enjoy their summer.

The family moved from Iowa to live with family member’s in a trailer home, they have limited space and trash has piled up and smell is lingering in the home, they needed to work on cleaning to keep child safe. The family is needing help with a dumpster and carpet cleaning. The family moved in with additional family and is a lower-income home. Using a church dumpster is also an option for this family. The carpet cleaning that is needed can be professional or a unit being rented from a local store. Thanks!

Good afternoon! I am requesting community assistance to support a pregnant older youth on my caseload and help get her Breast Pump for when they are born in Sep 2025. My youth in question is 19 and in care of the MO Children's Division. She is presently living in an transitional apartment program in Kansas City and working on how to live and work independently. My youth works part time but has very little to no family support and thus she has limited financial means to get some of the more expensive items needed to care for a newborn including this one. A Breast Pump is one of the more expensive and crucial items needed for a baby so therefore any help to get this item would be most appreciated. My youth would like this one specifically, but she is open to other options as long it is a safe and well-reviewed:

This family includes mom, dad, twin sisters (10), and younger sister (8). The family has a great love for nature and animals; they can be found playing outside on any given day. Due to recent financial hardships, including an emergency surgery for dad and faulty transmission in the family vehicle, the family is unable to pay mortgage for this upcoming month and is at risk. Family is seeking assistance for this month in order to maintain stability. The family has therapeutic support services to help them navigate this time and we are hopeful you can help provide this gift to support them in the most important way- maintaining the safety of their home. Edit to add family has a plan in place for next month and going forward just need assistance in catching up the past due that is currently due.
