A dedicated mother of two young children has been accepted into the Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) program at North Central College, taking the next step in fulfilling her dream of becoming a nurse. She is currently working part-time at Mosaic as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) while also caring for her 9-month-old and 5-year-old children. As she prepares to begin full-time classes this semester, Mom is hopeful for assistance in purchasing her own school supplies. With household bills and the cost of ensuring her daughter is fully prepared for kindergarten this fall, she is falling short on funds for her own educational needs. She is currently in need of the following items: ● Pencils ● Scientific calculator ● Sticky notes ● White-out ● Folders ● Backpack Mom would be incredibly grateful for any donations to help support her as she begins her college journey. Your generosity will help set her up for a successful school year and bring her closer to her goal of becoming a nurse.

Family lost a small dog due to a traffic incident. The older adult size dog was left in the home, observed the incident while everyone was gone, and he destroyed the family couch. They are hoping to obtain any kind of replacement couch, so the family has a place to sit in the living room. The kids usually do their homework in the living room, as teens. The case is about to go to TPR/Adoption. There are 7 siblings divided between two homes, luckily across the street from one another.

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

This request is to help a family in need with a Temporary Alternative Placement Agreement. The parents are working on various items to improve themselves and to make themselves and their home a safe place for the child to return home to. The extended family that is placement for the child currently are sturggling financially to make ends meet. Currently they are in need of gas cards to help keep gas in the car to get the child to daycare. Without this aid they will have to miss more shifts at work and without work they will not be able to keep the child with them.

By helping with this request you are directly helping keep a child out of court custody and out of the foster system.

This request will help to keep two boys in the care of their Uncle / kinship placement. The boys need more permanent bed frames / mattresses for their rooms. Their Uncle does his best to make his home feel like their home and would love to provide a better bed option for both boys. Uncle is also struggling with transportation because of a tire that needs to be replaced. He is struggling to finish the process of getting licensed due to the busted tire. This request for beds and tire repair would greatly help support this Uncle and this placement.

As a Children's Division worker, I have a new kinship placement with two minor children and in need of safety items to include a fire extinguisher, medical lock box, and a carbon monoxide detector for the home. These are required safety items for our Resource and Home Inspection for licensing of this placement home. The placement parents have guardianship of four additional children in the home under the age of 18 that would also benefit to secure extra safety of this home.

medical complex child that depends on his sister who is his caregiver to transport him places and also care for him.

A person is in the process of adopting a young boy who has gone through a lot and now has many medical needs. The person adopting him stays at home with him to provide the love, care, and attention he needs and deserves. The family is hoping to increase the security of the home due to some threats made and would like to install some security cameras. If there is someone who is able to donate a camera or two or a whole camera system, that would be so helpful in increasing the family's peace of mind. Thank you for considering helping this family out!

Grandmother with guardianship of her granddaughter has recently become homeless and is in desperate need of a storage shed to store their belongings. The two have a safe place to stay at this time but are in fear of losing the only personal belongings and furniture they have as they cannot take all of it with them. Getting a storage shed would greatly help this family and prevent them from having even more hardship to overcome when they establish their own housing.

The family is in need of a storage unit at a location in town.

The family is working through reintegration of 4 children. The two oldest girls who are 9 and 11 report that in the past they have had weighted blankets and it helps them with their behaviors but in this placement they don't have access to weighted blankets. This request would be for two weighted blankets for two girls ages 9 and 11.
