Sibling set of four moved in with grandparents to help preserve cultural connections. Grandparents recently moved to a larger space to accommodate the youths.

Family needs help picking up equipment from a storage unit and bringing it to their home. This will ensure siblings can maintain in a safe and appropriate placement.

Four children have reintegrated back home with their mother and father. Due to family having bug issues they had to get rid of their previous two twin mattresses. The beds would be for the twin 9 year old girls.

The family is from another country, and the mother and father speak two different dialects of language, so drop off of the beds would need to be coordinated through an interpreter or through me, I would be happy to help, since it is more complicated than normal.

A sibling set of 11, 13, and 15-years-old have recently come into care and are in need of beds!

The 13 and 15-year-old boys will be sharing a room and are looking for two twin size beds and mattresses. The 11-year-old girl has a room of her own and is looking for a twin- or full-size bed and mattress. As of right now the children are sleeping on inflatable mattresses.

We are looking for:

• 2 twin sized beds and mattresses
• 1 full sized bed and mattress

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.

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!

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.

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:

The father of a family of five suddenly passed away without any life insurance. The family is not only mourning this profound loss but also finds itself in a financial crisis.

9 years old girl placed with a Non Relative Kinship (NRKIN) Placement and has been with the family since April. The family has been such a big support to her and her older brother, also in foster care with the family, and that support has included meeting their needs along with the family's three biological children.

To ensure she remains active during the summer and continues to have a normal as possible childhood, the family paid $95 for a summer pool pass for Youngs Pool in Overland Park, Kansas. She enjoys swimming and the family would appreciate any monetary support for her access to the pool.

The family is only receiving $17.64 for her and her brother daily until they are fully licensed with DCF, which may not be for a another month. Unexpectedly becoming a foster parent, along with three biological children, is incredibly difficult and demanding so any assistance to provide support to this family is greatly appreciated.
