Mom is great and working hard to get back on her feet. $230 is needed as soon as possible. Updated on May 30, 2023 by an Agency Worker

A loving grandmother is in need of some assistance in her home. She has taken on the responsibility of caring for two of her young grandchildren ages one and four, after they were brought into state custody. The grandmother is in the process of adopting her four-year-old grandson & also getting guardianship of his one-year-old sister. The four-year-old has been in the process of potty training and has had quite a few accidents on the couch. The family has had to get rid of the couch due to the accidents this sweet boy has had on the couch & now they are left with no furniture in the living room.

If you have it in your heart to help this wonderful family with living room furniture or know of someone who is able to help it would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

Expecting mother of triplets went into labor early and ended up losing of her babies. She is in need of most baby items but most importantly she asked for a simple request of a pack and play. She did state that anything would help her with the needs of the newborn babies. From clothes to various items such as diapers, and wipes. She also explained that she has been trying to find a bigger place with her growing family and has a house but needed help with the deposit(1,200). The items will help mom be less stressed while she continues to mother her newborns and grieve the loss of her third triplet. The deposit will secure the home she needs for her growing family.

A sibling set of four recently reentered care due to physical abuse by their adoptive parents. This is the second time these kids have been in foster care. They were all placed with their older brother and his partner and their two kids.

A Twin bed, mattress and bedding to keep all of these siblings together in the same house.

We have a family who came into care, set of 4 siblings who are being split between two placements. The youngest two, aged 3 and 7, are in dire need of a bed, frame, and possible sheets/pillow. The placement is a family member who also has her own children and went from feeding 5 mouths to 7 and she is struggling financially and also left her job to care for the 3-year-old full time. She is in need of beds for both children as she just doesn't have the extra. If we can get a trundle bed, that would be preferred she said but will take what is given to help. These kids have been through a lot already and we are just trying to ease the stress and help maintain their placement.

She is a very engaged and hardworking parent and is very close to reintegrating with her young son. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Mom, Dad, and their three children live in a home that is not being maintained well by their landlord. Their stove top works but their oven is broken. They are working to install babyproofing in the home to keep their youngest safe. The family has had issues with their plumbing. This is fixed, but they are in the process of ridding the home of many things that were damaged by water during the time the plumbing malfunctioned and are struggling with KCMO's limited trash pickup policy. The home needs cleaning, and the family is working on this currently and has made significant progress. The two older children attend school and do well, and the father is currently searching for employment after being laid off from a good job due to staffing issues and through no fault of his own. The family has had a rough start to the year but is very motivated to get their living conditions back in shape and are using all of the help available to do so. The children have a very loving bond with their parents, especially dad and the baby who clearly adore each other!
