Single mother and her three children need assistance paying rent on their new apartment so they can finally have longterm housing.

Mother is currently staying at a long-term stay hotel where she has been harrassed and attacked at by other guests. She has been staying there after being kicked out of a shelter that was supposed to help her until she found more permanent housing and was allegedly robbed and manipulated by a service provider who took her money (which following a significant period of time was returned) and many of her items (which still have not been returned). However, Mother's section 8 voucher has been granted and she will be able to move into an apartment which she has secured but needs to put a down payment on. By helping her with this, she and her children will have long-term stable housing.

Urgent help is needed for a family who just had their water shut off. Parent is a single mother who receives limited help from the fathers of her children and is in the middle of getting back to work. Amount requested will get the water turned back on. Family has limited support and with five children and the hot summer months, the need for water is especially urgent

A devoted mother has expressed her need for a one-seater stroller suitable for her infant. As a single parent, she is navigating the challenges of providing for her new child independently. When we inquired about how we could assist her, she shared that having a stroller would make a significant difference in her daily life.

Jackson County Children's Division is seeking help in supplying a relative placement provider a gift card to either Target, Wal-Mart, or anywhere else that might allow her to purchase the child summer clothing. The child is currently in need of more leggings, athletic shorts, baggy t-shirts, and undergarments. The child has a lot of winter clothing, but not a lot of summer clothing to accommodate the KCMO heat. We as an agency would be more than grateful for any help that is offered by anyone, as any little bit can make a large difference! I am certain the placement provider will also be extremely appreciative of whatever help anyone can offer. Thank you for your consideration from Jackson County Children's Division!

👟🌞 Helping a Supermom of 7! Summer Support Needed

We’re hoping to rally some support around an incredible single foster mom who is currently caring for seven amazing kids—yes, seven! She’s doing an incredible job juggling everything on her own, but could really use a little extra help this summer.

Right now, she’s in need of:

🍼 A stroller that can hold a car seat—something that makes outings a little easier and more manageable with the littlest ones in tow. 👗 Summer clothes for her 16-year-old daughter, who wears a junior size 2-3 pants and size medium shirts. Light, breathable clothing for the season would be a huge blessing!

This mama is showing up with so much love and dedication every single day, and meeting these practical needs would go a long way in lightening her load and reminding her she’s not alone.

💛 Thank you for considering how you might help support this family—it’s the little things that make a big difference.

The stroller need may be being met.

Clothing sizes are for 16 year old girl, pants/jeans size 2 or 3 and size medium shirts are still a need.

There is a family that is needing 2 high back booster seats in order to safely transport the children. Thank you!

I currently have a single mom who has 10 kids who is in need of some beds or cots to help make her apartment more livable for her family. She is working so hard at getting the apartment together and really making it a home for the kids. She could really use the support from her community right now. She could use 2 full beds + bedding sets or some cots for the kids so they can have a place to sleep. She would really appreciate any help her community can help her with. Thank you so much in advance!

Children's Division is currently working with a family that is need of bedding! single mother of 6 is currently working on relocating on her own thru the help of the state. During our visits it was brought to our attention the air mattress the children were sleeping on have broken. The children have been sleeping on the floor and CD is trying to help the mom get a couple more air mattress, Cots, or even a couple mattress of this family to have better sleeping arrangements. Ages of the children vary and anything to help is much appreciated. Extra pillows, blankets, sheets, all is acceded.

Family received a shut off notice from their water company. Baby arrived extremely early and began their stay in the Small Baby Unit. Due to baby arriving so early, baby has remained in critical condition. With baby being so sick, parents have been staying at bedside, trying to spend time with him and hold him. Dad's employment is out of state and he has been unable to return to work as he has been remaining at here, to spend time with baby and emotionally support mom and their other children. Mom shared with me that they are able to set up a payment plan to avoid their water being turned off but would need assistance with the initial payment.

Hello, I am requesting a $200.00 gift card for a sixteen-year-old young man who resides in a Department of Mental Health Residential Home. He is diagnosed with Autism and uses a communicative device to communicate with others. He enjoys bowling, basketball, going to Get Air Trampoline Park and shopping at Red Rocks Thrift Store. This money will positively impact this young mans life by ensuring that he can spend his summer participating in some of the activities he enjoys.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

This single mother recently moved to the Kansas City area looking for a better life for herself and her four children, ages 15-7 years old. One of the children is diagnosed with Spina Bifida, a condition where the spinal cord did not fully close in the womb, as a result this child has had multiple surgeries and may require more. The family is does not currently have beds and are sleeping on the floor of the home they are renting. The child with Spina Bifida had an inflatable mattress, but the mattress was punctured, so he is also sleeping on the floor. Being so new to the area, the family has not made many connections, so their support system is very limited. Any assistance for this family would be much appreciated and will go a long way into ensuring that the children are comfortable in their new home. Thank you for your consideration!
