These foster parents are outstanding advocates for the children in their care. One of their current placements is a child undergoing dialysis treatment three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, for several hours each day. Due to her medical needs, foster child is unable to attend traditional school full-time.

Foster mom has been a tireless advocate for the child's education. She has proactively pursued both a 504 Plan and an Individualized Education Program (IEP) to ensure foster child receives the academic support she deserves. Foster mom has coordinated with school district officials, principals, and even representatives from the Kansas Department of Education to secure the best possible resources for foster child.

Thanks to foster mom's efforts, the child will begin a hybrid school program next year, attending in person on non-dialysis days. This marks a significant milestone as it will be the child's first in-person school experience in four years.

The foster family is currently requesting a Chromebook or Amazon gift cards to offset the cost of the Chromebook for the foster child. This is essential for her hybrid learning model. The school district will not provide this resource.

The child lacks consistent and reliable familial or social support to assist with transportation. He has recently secured employment but will be required to walk to his workplace due to the lack of a personal vehicle and available support systems.

This request is for a 2 and half year-old female in KS foster care who was placed with her grandmother in Kansas City. She is needing a toddler bed for this child as she currently doesn't have a bed for her. This child loves Minnie Mouse. Please let me know if you need any more information.

We are reaching out to request your assistance for a family we are supporting. A mother and her daughters are facing difficult circumstances, including the loss of two parents and the removal of one child from the home. Due to these significant life events, the mother has been unable to work and is now behind on several payments.

DCCCA has done what we can to help and has explored community resources, but unfortunately, we have not found any viable solutions. The mother is seeking assistance to cover half of her rent. Additionally, DCCCA has already helped by paying the electricity bill, which was disconnected this morning.

We understand that the amount needed is substantial, and we are hopeful that multiple churches can come together to support this family. Thank you for taking the time to read this message. We sincerely hope you can help us keep this family together and prevent eviction and further distress.

We are still in dear need for help for this family. I hope you can help us, thank you and have an amazing week.

Youth has not attended prom before and is asking for $20 to purchase snacks for him and his date to attend the prom. He already has a suit but is asking for this assistance.

Family is in need of assistance with their gas bill. Mother is a single mother with 7 children in the home with one on the way. She has been unable to work due to medical complications with her pregnancy. Mother did receive a disconnect notice for earlier this month, but thankfully the gas has not been shut off at this time. Any assistance with the bill would be appreciated by the family.

This request is for a remarkable young adult in foster care who is not only an incredibly talented artist but also a person with a powerful vision. He is preparing to attend college this fall to pursue his dream of becoming a graphic designer and filmmaker. He has shown an unwavering determination to follow his passion for art and storytelling. He has a genuine desire to create meaningful, impactful art that speaks to the issues and disparities he sees in the world around him. He wants to use his work to give voice to the people and causes that need to be heard, and to inspire others with stories that matter.

Right now, he is in need of a graphic design tablet (I have included the specific link below) to continue refining his abilities and succeed in his college journey. This would be more than just a donation—it’s a chance to support someone who is ready to do amazing things with the gifts he’s been given.

Thank you so much for considering helping him take the next step on this incredible journey!

Here is the link to the specific tablet that would work for his computer. Other tablets are not compatible with his computer: Go To Link

This request is for a 16 year old boy who is currently living in a independent living place where he is currently learning skills to be able to take care of himself once he ages out of foster care. This child is a very soft spoken well mannered young man who takes directions very easily never ask for anything and always has a smile on his face. This child who has been in foster care since he was 10 years old works very hard in school and makes A's and B's. He participates in extracurricular sports activities such as football and concert choir. The child stated that he is going to need a suit for his concert choir this coming school year but also would like to have one for his prom. The child also stated that he would need new football cleats as he believes that he has grown out of the ones that he has. This request is to buy the child a new suit for both prom and concert choir and if there's enough a new pair of cleats. There is not a child that deserves it more as he works hard and accomplishes so much as a young man and does not let his situation define who he is.
